Go all out man! As long as he's a proff. painter and creative, it'll be SomeThing beautifull...I'm a painter myself, I actually have a paint shceme for my own bike, but I can't share it yet, Cuz I don't Like copy cats, LoL. I'm not gonna paint it until all mechanics and cosmetic stuff is perfect...You should go with a Lite base (that Carolina baby Blue) all over the main body. Then stand back, Look at it and start thinking of accents and stickers that go with it.
