Many people have offered to help me paint my new-to-me Cyclone... So I'm trying to move forward with the process.

Here's my favorite color options:

PLEASE pick your favorite! Or at least say grey or blue.

The bike has a black frame and black wheels.

The goal is to repaint it before March Badness! But we'll see.

Thanks!

Look up Nogaro silver (BMW color- they used it on the e30 chasis M3 - first gen of the M3) .. I think that is the spelling... that is a darker metallic silver - real nice , on one of my bimmers I plan to do the 2 piece wheels' centers with that and polish the lips... would have the same effect on a bike I think ...

Really? I know Audi has a Nogaro blue... which is an amazing color, but a little lighter than I want to go.

Here's the only picture I could find on Nogaro silver:


It also looks a little light. I was looking at a little darker grey/silvers. I think they'd go better with the black.

I had my Cobalt Blue M2 repainted metallic silver.

My vote goes to BMW Steel Grey. I think it would look great against the black frame.

That's it ... although when combined with billet, and polished bits here and there, it stands out much nicer .. having black rims on the car pictured makes it look lighter than it really is ...

then again, the wheels I am doing in that color are going on a red car ... a darker silver would look real good as well

How about the new darker grey/silver available on new Ram pickups and Ford vehicles. It's not a very common color but might look good against some black parts.

There is a local Ram with this color, dark tinted windows and black rims. Color makes the truck look great against the black windows and rims.
