What color would you like to see on your bagger?
I have a set of stock takeoff body parts that I was going to paint to sell. I want to do a set in satin black and gloss black stripes (like the Night Rod Special). But if I am going to sell them, it's not a matter of what I want to do, it's a matter of what others are looking for.
So, my fellow bagger owners, what color would you consider to "guarentee" to sell?
Other thoughts I have had would be another color in satin like the street glides are doing... or paint candy red flames over black and satin the clear over that... or there is a Road Glide out there that is OD Green (military looking)! Hmmm, seems like I am stuck on anything satin?!
I think that HD forums folks have a variety of tastes and I definately want to here what everyone would do to there own if they could.

Satin Black.
Satin Black.
But in Moco-speak..."Black Denim".
As some have speculated, I'm also thinking the moco is holding that color for a "Night Glide" (Street Glide conversion, much like the Night Rod and the Nightster).
I really hope they don't do that, cuz then I'd have to trade my bike in and start all over again.
But to answer your question, yeh...either a matte black finish, or another matte finish that the moco isn't currently offering (so it stands out a bit from the crowd). Denim finishes seem to be pretty popular right now and would probably sell pretty quickly for ya.

CRAP! Pricing? I haven't even got my thoughts together on the color. I havent thought about what I would charge. We usually charge $1500 for single color paint jobs (don't cringe about that price to much, remember, that's 10 pieces). Add the little extras that are different for the satin (flattening agents) and the cost wouldn't be much more than that. I figure I have about $2k in the parts I have.
So I guess thats what I'd be asking. I figured this would be a local sale and I would do a swap for the buyers parts to lower the cost and give me another set to experiment with a different paint scheme! But if someone outside my area waas interested we would have to work out all the other crap like packaging and shipping, etc...
Thanx for the responses so far, BLACK SATIN seems like it could be the route I take.

Here is a different color idea, when I first saw this car, I thought "damn that would look good on an all blacked out bike"......

RE: What color would you like to see on your bagger?
I shouldn't say anything cause I haven't seen too many out there but ohh well, probably never have the money to do it anyways! What would I do if I could.....????
I want a black bike with lime green flames and either a dark purple or a blueish thin outline triming the flames, just to make them pop a bit.
Ohh, and I would want gloss clear! I think it would look tough as hell! To do this I would want the bike blacked out and maybe a lime green A/C on a 90 degree intake. I think chrome looks good with the black cherry so I will have to do alot to go that route. Maybe wait for that night glide and then flame it!!
