Default Paint Idea

Just want some feed back. Im postin a picture of the color Im having my bike painted. Not the black smoke you see on this one in the pictures just the color. here is my question. Im going to have flames done on it in an outline. was thinking a pearl black but for some reason silver keeps poping up in my head. Whats your thoughts?

Page 725 of the 09 catalog shows very similar color red flames on a silver base.
California Kid Paint job. I was going with this setup and I like it a lot.
Catch was, that for $1650 it was an exchange program, not a painted set.

Ins co allowance was for $1600 for an OEM painted set.

First pic is of the page, second is a pic of a recently painted bike that my soon to be painter did. It's a "Speckelled Marble" and a similar red to your's.


ETA; pics just for visual effect.

Yeah, the catalog is good to get some ideas, if nothing else. LOL.
That red with black flames looks real nice.

Personally, I like the Galaxy Grey base with Silver Flames at the top of the page.
Decisions decisions....
