Kind of a poll....which color to paint?

So I redid the SB again and looking to paint a new color. Denim Black (although pic is flat black) or light blue? MANY thanks to JerseyDevil for the photoshop.

I think the light blue looks smartly retro... puts it in a different light than all the other blacked out bikes.

Ya, man that blue sure makes it unique! But then again, I think your bike is unique no matter what color is on it. I'm a black fan!

I like the black better than THAT blue. But a different blue might get my vote.

The light blue looks cool but not sure I would like it long term.

I love black, but I think that blue really sets off your bike.

I always liked 1956 Ford Fairlane Blue....thought it would look retro (as mentioned) but black would just be slick. Having the tins powdercoated whatever color I decide. If I did the blue I would do the headlight bucket and something else with the battery band (other than black)

Hmmm . . . Can't go wrong with the black, looks pretty mean. I like the blue just cause it's different, definitely a little retro. Here's a version w/the headlight bucket and battery box band in blue. Not sure if I got the color you envisioned but that's what I came up with for the 56 Fairlane.
