tips on my tank paint scheme idea?

[Spidey]

any other ideas?

Do not--under any circumstances--paint it with tiger stripes.  In fact, it's prolly wise to stay away from all animal themes.

A bit off subject, but relevant never the less, is there a quick and easy way to explain how to use Photoshop to do what you did with the picture of your tank and rims? I have been toying with color ideas, but my photoshop skills are like I was using Microsoft Paint!

Never mind - Google helped!

I don't know how tight your wallet is on this but you should just do it right and send it to Ducpainter, he did the same font on mine and color matched the gold on the gas cap to the lettering. I just cannot picture this actually looking good unless it's handled correctly, it's a nice bike I'd just think you'd rather treat it as such, somewhat surprised after all the time and thought you put into it thus far that you are going to throw decal letters and a mis-matched tank. I say take your time if you need to save over the Winter and then send it for a nice paintjob in the Spring, red with a decal for a short term is fine but eventually I think it would bother me.

yeah man i think ure right
i talked to a shop here and they said they can fix my original tank for $350 with paint, so i might just do that

i got a red seat cowl as well, so that should hopefully tie it some more in.
now i just gotta go and get some red wheel stripes.
its coming along

next on the list is a different front fender (i asked elsewhere on forum which fits)

The red cowl would looke better and add more red. I would keep the Monster fender, but probably paint that red, also.......I'm wondering what the headlight bucket or just the headlight bezel would look like on the bike if one of those was painted red (but not both of them).

I'd definitely leave the frame black, though
