Default Your opinions please...paint, wheels, etc.

I was planning on a flame paint job (pearl white, black flames w/ red pinstriping around the flames). But, I saw this paint job and fell in love with it.I know it is simple,but that's what I like. Plus the Orange and Black have a special place in my heart. Anyway I was thinking of going with a paint job like this, powedercoating my oil tank black and my rims and hubs blackto match my A/C cover, horn cover, and engine guard.

I know it is my opinion that counts, but just want some other opinions.

Classy and simple. Looks great. I think it would look amazing with alot of black powdercoated parts. I think you should go for it.

Nice combo. Reminds me of that Ribbon candy I used to get when I was a kid.

I like it alot - also think your idea on powdercoating some of your parts would look great when combined with that paint set. Good luck with your decision!!

very impressive. vaguely reminds me of the 105th paint scheme. except this one's waaaaaaay better. i think it's the silver striping that really does it for me. definately not something u see everywhere.

Yeah, I think I'm sold. Is $1500.00 (on my tins) reasonable? It seems a little steep, but I haven't priced custom paint jobs much.
