Default I need to make a decision

Ok boys. I rarely come into this section of the forum cause I never really worried about paint. But now that I'm getting new front and rear fenders I am considering the idea of changing the color on all of my tins, including the oil tank.

My bike is a 2008 rocker C, pacific blue pearl. I have gotten rid off all the chrome that the bike came with and made it gloss black. Here is a shity pic of what the color scheme looks like now.

I'm running Breakout CVO wheels which have machined spokes on them.

I'm having a hard time deciding on what color to paint the fenders, gas and oil tanks.

What colors can you guys recommend ?

The powder pro suggested a brushed silver color.

What other colors can you guys suggest? Or is this silver pretty much the only way I can go because of the blue frame?

Here is the silver color the powder pro suggested.

The left is clear coated and the right one is flat.

The blue frame limits you, no doubt. However, look at what different manufacturers have done with different frame colors over the years. Buell, Ducati, etc, etc. Go for it. Make it your own.

I'm pretty much set on a gloss silver color. Right now thinking about going with the silver Dodge is running on the new Hellcat. It resembles the silver on the left in the picture I posted in the first post.

Here's a picture of a challenger with thar silver color and a blue air filter which appears to be close to the color of my frame.
