What color combo should I use?

[m9hundo]

white on red frame with black wheels, classy IMO

[Big Troubled Bear]

Red frame Ti Tank

[TAftonomos]

Shit. Now you've got me thinking about that combo for my Sport Classic.

And here I am thinking about PC'ing my frame PS Blue, and painting the monster silver

Always greener on the other side loL!

Definitely the Ti/Red.  BUT, where are you going to get it painted?  Do you think it will come out to the same quality as the OEM?  I ask because I might be painting mine too but I am going to get a "Dark" black paint job.  I just want to make sure I can find someone who can make it come out as nice as the OEM dark.

  Thats my sheeot right there Smiley  I like it, but I warn you the eggshell paint isn't easy to care for..  It doesn't take kindly to ANY kind of stains, road tar or grime, etc..

Dude, your sheeot is so nooice.  I actually saw that bike with a completely blacked out screen in place of the clear one and it really complimented the stealthy look of the bike...just a suggestion.

Black, everything...but the tank....with red decals.  IMHO.

A good local painter should be able to match the finish.  Mine will probably look a little different, however, because I'll get a few coats of glossy clear to protect the paint job and also for easier upkeep, rather than the flat finish.

I know that a lot of people like this look, but for some reason the white tank really throws me off and doesn't look good to me.....maybe I'm just paranoid of the black and whites with the lights on top?  I do like the black work on the rest of the bike though!

That makes sense.  But it won't look the same.  I think its worth the extra maintenance.  I think if you put these on http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/TANKSLAPPER/Accessories/TANKSLAPPER.html there would be nothing to really maintain as long as you don't scratch it.  Don't mean to thread jack but does anyone know if the eggshell finish of the Ti is the same as the finish on the Dark matte black tanks?  In other words is the only difference the color?  They both look matte.  I think the Ti is a satin finish while the Darks are a matte finish but not sure.

EDIT: Never mind about that tankslapper product cuz it wouldn't work on a matte finish.

All black for me.

If/when I repaint, I'll be doing the same color....but it'll be glossy and easier to care for.

FHE from TAftonomos is why I mentioned it might be better to go with glossy clear for easier maintenance rather than the eggshell finish
