Default Painting my bike can't decide a color.

My dad is gunna paint my bike for me for free all I gotta do is pick a color. I'm down to orange with a gold pearl, white with this stuff called white diamond flake or blue with the diamond flake. Help me out guys this is a hard decision. Any other color opinions please post them up.

Thanks.

Well from what i understand you cant really see the flake untill its in the sun and it just makes it and i quote twinkle in the sun. The more me and my dad brainstorm ideas the more choices i have now. lol. We came up with orange base then mist water over it then spray the gold pearl on a very low pressure let it dry and then wipe off the water to give it this really cool effect which if it looks like i think it will it should look freaking awesome. Im just trying to figure it out i still gotta get new fairings since pretty much all mine have cracks or random holes drilled in them for no reason.

It'll come down to what you like most. Hell, if it's free, if you don't ever like it, or want to change, you just got a paint job for free! It's like two styles for the price of one!

That's the problem I like all those colors I just can't pick which one I like the most. I want a color that can be seen by others which is the main reason my dads painting it for free. My bike is a dark gun metal gray and I want something alot brighter in color and so does he.

Paint one side one color with a different color on the other side, half and half. Wouldn't be any others around like it. I'm only half joking. I know, I'm no help. I'd have a hard time deciding once I had it narrowed down to a choice of three colors. Honestly, I find bikes with only one solid color visually boring.

Hah If I had some cool graphic I would do it half and half but I don't. Lol. I like the idea if green but I don't think I want a green bike. So far I'm still thinking white with that flake in it would look great although it is kinda plane. If I could see things in my head how my dad sees them it would an ray decision but I can't. Lol.
