Default nervous.......

Ok, finished prepping my fairings last night and took them into the paint shop today....I am still stalling because I am waiting for my front fender to come in. I decided to go with a nissan bronze like thishttps://cbrforum.com/m_294782/tm.htm I think that bike looks really good but I have not seen it in person. I have gotten several responses in refrence to an 'urban' or ghetto style when I tell people I am choosing bronze. could i get some honest feedback? Do you guys think i will stand out too much with this? I know i am freakin WAY too much but once its painted its painted, ya know? another question, how much have some of you paid for a professional pain job?
I am getting a two tone like those pics and I want to see if im getting a good deal

thanks for any help

Your link didnt work so I dont know what color you went for, but I painted my last bike myself with a nice copper and blue scheme.

For less than $200 it turned out really good, and I liked the colors. I'll assume that the bronze is probably pretty close.

I saw what bike your refuring to and I think that it looks great! I'd try and do something like he did and break up the color with some kind of second tone. What color are you going to have your rims?

I like the bronze but I wouldn't go so far as to completely copy someone elses bike. Hershey's looks more of an orange.

[align=left]Hershey, that looks awesome! what color and brand did you use? did you use a spray gun? I am still waiting on that piece so if it can turn out that good i will do it myself. Im not making my bike identical to that one either, i just want that orange/bronze color because I think it looks the best
