Default Which Paint?

I did post this in the touring section but thought I would try here too. I drop my Street Glide off at the painters Monday. I was set on the Red flames but these other ones are really growing on me and I want to be a little different. I told him I would think about it this weekend.

Before you pullall the greenbacks out of the wallet check out this place in Fon Du Lac.
Nicole's Sign Works
385 West Arndt Street, Fond du Lac, WI 54935 • 920-907-1470

info@nicolessignworks.com
I got my helmet done there and this gal does outstanding work. Check out the blue Snowhawk military helicopter helmet. It was painted before actually being custom built by the mfg. with head set. The painting is exactly the picture I gave her which, if you look, is on the Fox 6 blogs.

The blue and silver is hands down the best in my way of thinking. Don't worry about the pebbles or anything else. Eventualy its going towear anyway and you'll probably get rid of the bike before anything bad happens to the paint.Get the one you like the best and just ride proud!

Hey snowhawk I found someone through a friend that is hooking me up. The dealer would want almost $5000. My friend is doing the whole bike disassemble and all for $2100. Hard to beat that price. It normally is a $3000 job. That is what he charges people out of state that sends him their tins.

All are nice paint colors, but I like the blue/silver best.
