I bought a black one this time around with the intent of blacking it out. Black looks AWESOME when its clean, but the clean only lasts until you roll down the road 0.1 of a mile.

I don't really like the amber whiskey (not sure why) and Harley had nicer blues in the past, and with my experience with the Vivid black, I voted for the olive. I think I would really like a blacked out olive roady.

The Black and White "skunk" was offered in 2012 in CVO model Road Glides. - I too really like this paint scheme.

Steelerdude, of amber whiskey doesn't float yer boat, and if you're into custom painting your scooter, check out sunset orange which was used on early to I'd nineties Corvettes. There was a light and dark sunset orange. Only thing is that the base is ungodly expensive, since it contains metallic and golf pearl. When I painted my Camaro droptop

OD green with black looks good, but I'd go with blue.

...back in the day, it was over $85 per quart jobber price. Use a high quality clear over it like Deltron or Glasurit over the top, and it's an absolutely gorgeous color!

Yep and the only thing I didn't care for was the Willie G emblem. Had a bike I thought needed everything Willie G. After a few years I got burned out on it.

amber whiskey with some nice black stripes or graphics, real close to how I did my ironhorse but it was considered copperhead.
