Help me pick a color scheme.

Gonna be last minute, but got the guys at Shamrock Racing in Ft. Wayne, IN to throw some paint on the chrome bike this week before the Discovery filming.

Need some help choosing color schemes. Bike is currently blue. I'm thinking the dark candy brandy maybe, but don't know.

Looking for three colors that will make the chrome pop. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Chrome Build


Current Color


Thoughts??

Dark Candy Brandy metallic with tiny bits of Goldleaf. Or a DEEP Turquoise metallic with silver highlights. Turquoise and silver are classic..but use a darker shade than the real deal.

Would this scheme clash with the chrome? I had this done a little while back.

That color scheme's pretty hot. I think it would look BETTER with the chrome...too much gold.

Check the Dark turquoise! You could even keep some of the dark blue showing through....but with chrome...sweet.

Thanks for the input....always wanted an american flag style bike, but don't think that'll happen yet. That green is pretty sick too. Think we're gonna go with the candy red and some silver and black. Should have it finished by friday. I'll post some pictures when I can.
