What color!!!

[FuturaPilot]

I bought a new 04' Futura in November 06'.  It is the flame red color, fine but just not my cup of tea..  Now I have traded that body work for a set of silver that is slightly rashed, sooo.  I need to pick a color to paint her.  I am considering either bright red, or a light charcoal gray, similar to the Ducati STS of either 04' or 03' vintage.  I just cant decide...  any ideas or thoughts.. or anyone out there really good with photo shop??
Any input would be appreciated...

I wish I woulda got to trade ya  , but one of the best colors I've seen is just white.  A clean, elegant white.  Pearl white if you can afford it.  But I think with the fut's lines, you'd be good anywhere between the white of the new VFR 800's, and the pearl white of the cadillac escalades. I'd personally go with the pearl white of the cadilac, and do a nice airbrush somewhere of an italian flag.  

Good luck!  and whatever ya do, take a LOT of pictures!

what about bluuuuue

or yellow?

I like blue.  

In 2000/2001 there was an Aprilia solid blue, too, not a metallic.  Wonderful color.  Be interesting to see a photoshop of a Futura that was that color (not a skill that I have).

XDBX, sorry it didn't work out, I was close till ne oublie contacted me and presented me with a unique opportunity..

I like that bright red, yeah, looks like a Honda but they don't have red copyrighted, right??

I am leaning toward the charcoal grey of the 2006 Avalon...  not to dark or not too silver..

pearl white, flat white, and kawasaki green please

[Shooter]

Sorry, white is hard, since it's a luminance and color is chroma this is the best I could do at 10:30 at night.
Green=Easy

[FuturaPilot]

Ohh, I really like that bright silver/white... Hmmmmm

I think the Kawasaki green would be hard to take in real life.  Didn't expect to like the white, but it's OK.

Still voting for the blue.

I love the ash gray on mine but since I am here to ruffle feathers I will throw in this

Feathers unruffled, a very calm: um... no.
