 The bike is primed and prepped, the money is in the bank for the paint but I can not decide what color for the paint. I was going to go OD green but changed my mind because I have seen too many of them already. The primary color is going to be Flat Twilight Black Pearl on the frame, wheels, headlight bucket, and seat rails. I need a color for the plastics, what does everyone think.
scroll down and pick one =) |

I'd go with a shade of red or blue, something solid.
Personally Im doing something similar soon, twilight black on the seat rail, headlight bucket, carbon fiber frame protector (down the whole frame), carbon fiber fender. I'll have a eurofighter fiberglass seat which will be a combination of cherry bomb red towards the airbox and twilight black towards the end. Mudguards will be black in the center with cherry bomb red outlines. Lots of other mods in the process that pictures will only be able to describe  .

Man this is hard. Im down to two color schemes
all the colors will be Hod Rods Flatz Burnt orange (highlights and plastics) / Twilight black metallic ( tank, wheels, seat rails, tail light housing) Wife loves this scheme as does all the Harley guys at work. Me, its 50/50 or Daytona Blue Pearl ( tank, wheels, seat rails, tail light housing) / Gunsmoke Gray Metallic (highlights and plastics) all the ricers and the Car Tuner guys at work. I thought about desert tan like FlDOSOL but its too bland I want some thing that stands out. |

Yea Rhino.. Im painting it myself at work, I love there Candies but I don't think it will look good on the Buell, a nice chromed out chopper yes but I want the Buell to look like a old school rat rod. I just ordered the paint from there Ebay store. Flat Twilight Black Metallic on everything except the plastics and Burnt Orange Flat on the plastics and some accent parts. I ordered new tires today (Pilot Road 2's) and will be pulling my wheels off and prepping them by the end of the week. I got to put in some vacation time for next week and clean up the respirator. Pics to fallow.
