Default Paint idears....
So im tired of the plain jane black look that everyone and their brother has now adays. Grabbed some rattle cans and went to town.













Its not going to be exactly like this there will be more white meaning taller and the corners will be rounded more to follow the lines of the tank. Oh and it wont be cracked like that even though I think it looks pretty cool. I just missed the 1 hour window and Im impatient lol.

What do yall think?

Maybe red with the white strip on top of the fender but not all the way to the back edge.

Hard to get a pic of the rear with the tail lamp in the way, but you should ba able to make out the front fender in the pic. The rear is just like the front.
