Trying to pick a color to paint my road king custom. I am partial to blacks and grays especially the denim black or black pearl but I saw a merlot colored street glide and really liked that color. Can not seem to make up my mind so I am asking for opinions.

The merlot is nice. I like black bikes, but worry about seeing swirls easier. I had a gunmetal pearl road king that was awesome against the chrome. I don't think you will be unhappy with any of the colors your thinking about.

I have fire red pearl and I like it with the black and chrome. Reds/Blues/blacks- all of them look great to me.
