Pint color dilemma.....

Repainting my Red and Black 2000 Interstate... can't decide to stay true to color... go black with some highlights in the paint... or do the seemingly popular orange/copper with cream staying with the same paint ... or looking for pics or ideas... don't have the $$$ to invest in flames, skulls etc..

Spend the money. Be creative! Take out a loan if you have to.

Go with whatever color you want
I have one in paint now but I ain't telling the color. But it will be a one of a kind
and wouldn't put flames on anything
just not for me others love them but I never have liked them

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

If you will keep the bike forever do what you want, but if you would ever sell it, don't paint it a way only you will like (I offer in evidence the above bike paint as an example - tuoey).
With paint, I like simple. Besides color(s), if you want something different, a little subdued pinstriping here and there makes it unique and not garish. And there are a number of different pin stripe styles out there.
I've always liked black and chrome best, but black is sure a bitch to keep clean and shiny.
I'd spend time looking at Bing photos of bike paint jobs, stock and custom. Copy and paste your favorites to
My Photos
on the puter, then narrow it down.
Also, it is worth listening to advice of bike painters (like paint quality), but too many think they are Leonardo DaVinci both in style and price. Keep a tight reign on them.

I like this bike and the paint job.
It shows creativity and individuality.

If I ever get my bike painted the way I want, it will probably be harder to sell. Some will love it, and some will discretely say, "The painter did an excellent job with your design!"
