If you continue that Mid strip on the tank and paint the side fairings with a hint of green (not too much) i think it will look awesome!

Atleast your a perfectionist... Before my dads shop closed down i used to paint cars and motorcycles for a living... So i have the tools i need i just need a color.. haha! i was thinking of going with the Grabber Blue from ford because i can get a pretty good deal on it... or keeping it the same color but go with a charger orange

i couldnt find the color i wanted ANYWHERE. i dont have tools or anythin so its all spray can. and the green is an engine enamel. I got a few months to do some more research n try to find the right stuff but for now it is what it is.
