Paint ideas
I've been toying with a few ideas, which I should have nailed down while the bike was completely apart, but I didn't so I'm asking for opinions. Here's a mock up of some colors of the bike prior to the rockers, forks, trees, shocks, controls... all getting the PC black treatment. With everything else being so dark (satin black) what do you guys think for colors???
I also like the Brownish/red one. Are these the only color options that your thinking about or you looking for outside input as well?
Also a quick question. Where did you get your rear fender from? looks sick.

I'm just a little worried that with everything being so blacked out that it just seems blah with the "hammered" silver on the tank sides. I thought about just stripping it down to bare metal there and clearing over it too.

This damn paint **** is like reinventing the wheel. It's all been done. I've thought of different ideas I've never ran with. One idea was newspaper clipping the tank and clearing it. (Paper mache) I never did follow through with that. Copper plating was another idea. I'm a big fan of killerpaint.com and patrickguyton.com if I wanted to spend the money. Those guys are geniouses. I always try to think of **** no one else would to be different.
