Default recommendations are needed for a custom paint set.

I am trying to come up with some idea's for a new paint set for my bike. A custom paint shop here in Louisiana will do the work for me and the painter said he could paint whatever I wanted. I really like some of the shadow skull stuff that is out but am I open to other idea's. What colors would be cool? If you could paint your bike however you wanted it, how would you do it up? Pic's would be great if you have them. Thanks

they sky's the limit, but what you like and what someone else likes could be totally different. I love flames, and usually work them into anything I put custom paint on, but some people think they are way too overdone. there are custom paint jobs out there that do absolutely nothing for me... but thats OK cause they are not on any of my stuff, and I am sure the owners like them.
