Thanks guys!

Yeah my wife has already said this bike is too ugly for her to ride (of course she always says that when i start on a project) but i think that means i have liberty to make it kindof obnoxious.

At this point i'll probably just shoot white on everything and if i change my mind later its easy to cover.

My first instinct is just flat black, but that is so overdone and makes it look stolen. White is OK but it really looks like hell when its not done well or if you never wash it.

Part of me wants to do that terrible rattle-can gold because it reminds me of this guy in the ghetto we called 'stabby' who used to brandish a 1911-style 45 auto pistol that was spraypainted gold...

Grey is too close to the color of roads and its really hard to see... same for silver... i don't want to do a primary color and green...eh.. tough to get it right maybe maaaaybe a 'sage' green would look good but i'm also not trying to make it look like a military vehicle.

i dunno. decisions decisions. this is why i just paint everything black.
