Default Which Paint for my XBones?
Howdy all - Well, Uncle Sam's Internal Revenuers were good to the Fester household this year, and I'm going to get the Bones painted with the spoils. I've always wanted to get one of the "California Kid" H-D jobs done...now I just can't make up my mind which way to go.

What do y'all think?

Blue-Green Fade w/ green pinstripes?


Yellow-Orange Fade w/ blue pinstripes?


Red Metallic w/ blue pinstripes?

I like the metallic red, but it's the only one I haven't seen IRL or at least a picture. The pics on HD.com never do the paint schemes justice.

I'm not really impressed with any of them myself... Too "happy" for a Dark Custom If I had to pick one of those 3 only, it would be the red, but I'd rather get something done that I design myself.

I've always liked the Yellow-Orange Fade. Although, the Metallic Red goes more with that "Dark Custom" thing.
