Default Want new paint

I'm rebuilding my Ultra, with that said I just love the Scarlet Red Paint Scheme.
My current bike is Scarlet Red, it is a solid color, nothing fancy, what I would like to have my painter do is come up with a paint color, that has metallic in the paint.
Is there any bikes out there painted with this scheme?
If so how does it look?
Pics if any would be appreciated!

Or instead of seeing pics, you could just do what I did.

I talked to my painter (who is also a biker & now a great friend) and told him what graphic colors I'd like to see on the Sedona Orange that he laid down as a base color. We agreed on a "theme" and I then I told him to use his imagination and I'd be back in two weeks.

The wife and I were in awe when we picked up the tins! Since then, I've carried his business cards and hand them out whenever anyone asks where we got the job done.

I'm not really looking for the graphic colors, I just want a light metallic in the Scarlet red.
Took all the parts off today, including the radio face, and mid frame heat shields.
going to the painter to talk to him next Wednesday about the color.
At the same time, the jugs and heads are going to Diamond cut. Should be back about the same time!
