Default Paint job ideas

Ok so my buddy dropped the bike at 20 mph and thrashed the fenders. So he will be paying for all repairs. The bike is a custom pearl white/blue with blue rims. The seat is half blue/half white. I need some ideas of what i should do for the paint job. I want to go back to a black seat therefore need to incorporate black into the paint scheme somewhere. White isn't mandatory, but i think would look cool.
I'm not creative enough to come up with this stuff so just wondering if anyone could point me in right direction. Maybe some pics of jobs done in the past or some decal schemes that might look good.
Thanks much for your help guys.

Well, I have a similar problem. I was thinking Repsol theme for mine but decided I want to do my own paint soooo I'm going all white with either red or black graphics. Nothing crazy just the big HONDA on the bottom on each side and the wings on the tank and whatever else is tasteful. BUT,,,, I have white wheels and didn't want to paint them so it's even easier for me to go white.

I know it isn't much help but that is what I'm doing. Simple is good for me. Besides I want to do everything myself. Of course you don't have to but it's a thought. Good luck man!

I was thinking i may do the entire bike the same color blue as the wheels. (a electric blue, almost like a wrx blue). and then do some white accents, and change the seat to black and do a dark tinted windshield.

That sounds good and easy. Would definitely look good with a tinted windscreen.

Got any special interests? Something to theme it, to make it unique? Me? My wife's avatar is Tigerlily,
A white tiger with a lily in it's mouth. So, I'm going with a base white with black tiger stripes. Maybe some lily's in a rope on the tail panels, maybe her avatar as medallions on the tank.

The point is, make it your own. Figure out something that says, "ME!". That's what makes people look twice. Good luck.
