Help select paint color 2 Years ago  
I'm going to take my tins to the body shop on Tuesday for a paint job. I recently bought the bike and knew when I got it that I would have to paint it. Not that the paint is in bad shape or anything, but Purple just doesn't say "Bad Ass". So, here's my delima I've always had black bikes in the past and love black, but everyone has black.

So, I'm looking for your alls help. I'm into the retro type look, with wide white walls. So the options I'm thinking right now is:

1. Black! (cheapest)
2. Desert Sand Metallic (Kind of a Dark charcoal brown)(It's the color of my truck, Body shop already has color thanks to my wife.)
4. Blue/Green Old School type color.

Please help, I'm so indecisive.

Asking about color is like asking about oil. Everybody is different and will have different opinions. Myself I like blue or red but neither was a choice.

I know it's not one of the options, but how about two tone it with the truck color, and blue, might look nice as a satin finish as well.

I think it would look good matching your truck with lots of chrome. The Desert sand would also look good as a two tone,lite/dark.
