Paint..But what to go for??

[Seanie]

Im going to a guy tomorrow to show him my bike and get a quote for painting the tank, side panels and tail section. But Im not sure what colour I want

The original paint is in pretty good nic, but I never really liked the colour to be honest, and wouldnt mind something a bit fresher that I can shine up at the weekends!
Ive been thinking about it for months now, and I keep going back to a nice metalic deepish green and yellow trim/lines, but do you think thats a bit too Kawasaki?? Or maybe the yellow would be too loud.....

The other thing is do I paint my front fender or leave it chrome....

Any advice or tips? Id like to get it done soon while I have the spare cash to do it....
Thanks

Black!! Just kidding.
Yes, paint the fender. Chrome fenders look goofy.

Yep, some days I live the chrome fender, other days I think it looks too chopperish.....

Not sure about "chopperish" but I think they look cheap, and goofy.

Not to everyones taste, but I like my 'replica' look and think the chrome works ok with it.

Another vote for chrome unless you replace the fender with a plastic unit. Then...paint away. The shape of the chrome fenders differs greatly from the ABS units and when you paint them, they look like, a painted chrome fender.

There are plastic fenders available?
I want one for my 78!!
I really do not like the chrome fenders on these bikes at all.

May be aftermarkets, not sure. I was thinking more along the lines of fitting another model fender to the bike. Then, anyting is open as long as it has the correct radius...

Don't know what sort of green and yellow you are thinking of but being from Iowa my first thought is John Deere .
