RE: Which Paint?

Funny. I posted this in the touring section too. Seems it is all pretty even here. Over there it is more the plain red. Guess we get boring when we get older.

Hey Derek,

Who's doing the work? I'm having a guy in C. Springs lay some paint on my RKC next month.

RE: Which Paint?

definitely blue and silver (IMO) cause its more of a subtle flame job...maybe im just partial to the "ice flame" look, but its a poll, so why not...

RE: Which Paint?

whew. Tuff choice of color great choice of flames. Any color will look fantastic with black. I'd say you have a win win situation here.

RE: Which Paint?

I like the bottom blue one with the hint of purple (burple?). I don't particularily like the flame pattern in that one tho. It seems too "even" for flames. It'd look better with the flames offset more like on the other pics. JMHO.

Attitude Custom Painting did mine. Black with the Candy Brandywine ghost flames. I am very happy with the work, it is top notch.

RE: Which Paint?

Like I say to all my customers, I can't tell you what you like just what might not look good. Color choice is of course a personal preferance and it should be up to the one that has to look at it everyday. As a Motorcycle painter I tell my customers don't worry what everyone thinks do what you want. All the picks seen are nice but the question is "which one do you like". I hope this helps because I know how hard it is to decide on painting let alone how to paint it. If you want check out my site www.thepaintchop.com we are very reasonable and riders ourselfs. Good luck and enjoy the new paint !!
