Hey guys,

so im in the market to choose a new paint scheme .. how do you choose colours.. its crazy hard !!!! i wanna be different and stand out but i dont wanna have a clown bike either.

i was thinking 2 colours and some sort of design to seperate the 2 colours...  trying to picture the bike in my head different colours is a difficult task...

 

my standard answer

orange and tan, choose one colour to be odd shapes and the other like a background, like a giraffe

I like black, with a black painted pinstripe and a secondary (though exactly the same tone) black color. A little "out there" for some, but I like living on the wild side.

One colour and an Air brushed Mural of something you hold dear.

Old school chopper colours for me...needs to POP! Google 'chopper tank' and you will find some really good ideas for patterns etc

There are 3 colours I always go with, gloss black, satin black and matt black.

Didn't even think about that chopa ..

i have got several quotes from a awesome local motorcycle painter... looking around 3-4k for what im after.. just unsure if that's to expensive or about right for a custom paint job..

Wow...$3-4K (not that I have a clue as to what is a good price though). At that cost I would have a crack at it myself just to see what I could come up with.
