Been thinking about upcoming customisations to the bike and was contemplating the idea of getting it painted.  I've been leaning towrds getting some "real fire" effects painted on the tank and fenders (yes I'm guilty of watching too many hot-rod shows).  Was wondering what others are thinking or would do, ie do you like the stock paint or do classic flame jobs or pin stripes do it for ya, etc?

This is the type of thing I would get done:

something with Ned Kelly and the Eureka Flag for me.

Must be an anti establishment type I guess.

ya know what kingchops......go with what YOU like....... I love my denim paint from the factory........but I've been thinking about about ghost flames/skulls............ you'll never please everyone and that's why your paint has to be yours...... you've got to ride it so seriosly go with what you want... my 2 cents worth anyway....

Simple works best.

I'd go for black with dark orange flames covering most of the tank. Flame designs and skulls on hogs are timeless in my opinion.

The hard thing is finding a design that no one else has got, or at least, not many people.

I love retro stuff though, so if I had a sporty and wanted paint, i reckon I'd be thinking about old style black and orange HD race paint job.
Put some clip ons and some rear sets on and bingo !! retro fusion cafe sporty !
Ooooh and then a set of those supertrapp side pipes like on the flat trackers. They are horn !

Flames are also awesome but I've already had a flame paint job on my last HD so if I was painting my Road King, i'd be looking for something else for the next paint job.
