What colors are those? And can you post a better picture of the tail, looks like you two toned it, or is that the light?

It was a base Ford color from a 2009 F-150 called Earth, but I added silver and a ton of metallic gold pearl, its is not two tone. the red is custom made I just started mixing, the problem is I will not be able to duplicate this!!! I made enough for a complete repaint! I thought it looked pretty sweet, wanted to get some other opinions, it looks different is each light, in the shade is look like gunmetal grey, in the sun, well you can see from the front fairing, this is my about my 200th paint job, I'm starting to get pretty good!;)

I would donate my parts for you to get some more practice on! Well, so long as I get them back that is! Ok, but seriously if you would like to paint some other peoples bikes, how much were you thinking you would charge?

I was not sure on the charge, We own a body shop and my father paints for a living ( so I had a decent teacher) I don't work there, i'm a cop but I have been painting for a while now I was thinking of charging 500 but a buell does not have much so probably less than that, if anyone needs any help let me know!

I'm in Iowa, I usually can come up with a cool scheme, I think the ,more simple the better, I love two tones using one main color and another for accent as on my buell but it is all up to the person, you can never go wrong with a custom idea! I take my bikes to local bike nights and always get good response! I really liked doing the eyes on my buell front, i think it looks sick

yeah well the best thing to do is use tape and start making designs on it, that is what I do I could always (if you wanted) stripe it off and send you pics but you should at least have a color or colors in mind! These Buell's are pretty awesome, i'm in the middle of taking mine apart putting it into a mutant chopper frame, thats a ton of fun!!![mad]
