Default painting my bike!

howdy all im in the process of painting my bike, i have the colors picked out orange/black. although i also like an orange/blue (go broncos) but my main problem is figuring out a pant scheme. airbrushing isnt an option as i have no art skills but i was thinking of orange on top black on bottom with a downward angle from the back to front. ive been online and ive seen a few pics that i like but nothing that really stands out. any help would rock.

Hope you don't mind if I ask, but how much are you paying for your bike to be painted? I'm looking at doing it soon.

im painting it myself since i have a friend with 6 years of auto body helping me so im not sure of a price but a few quotes i got was around 800. as far as supplies to paint it for a ppg brand primer base and clear coat (no tri-stage of course) its about 200-250 but then comes into play getting a compressor paint gun and the hardest part im finding is a place to paint it.
