My BiL and his Missus love the frame colour it's the nearest my powder coaters had to Navy blue. Lol
I'm not sure now what colour the tank & side panels will be - originally it was going to be a metallic navy blue or silver with chain mail hydroponic transfer or whatever you call the floating transfer process.

My original plan was always fluid - the gold wheels was a pipe dream that became a reality - my BiL has gold wheels on his Ducati and Ive seen some on a meembers Moto Morini (teenybop1) plus I love Gold Wheels. I even talked Wendy into some on her Merc.(below) Edit: Since that picture was taken the centre caps are gold background not silver on one side to see if it looks better.
I'll wait until everything else is done and the engine has been running before I decide on the paintwork - might use the bike next summer and do a Phase 2 next winter.

I thought the gold rims looked really good, and good compliment to the blue used as well. As pointed out already, it's yours to do as you wish with.
Very nice car there Mrs Ted has :D the gold and blue evokes a period when gold wheels were more prevalent and design influences more resolved. They seem to be all about gargoyle (cars and bikes) and massive graphics currently. Even in your own mind you may not be certain exactly if it's heading where you thought until finished sometimes.
Seems like the build is certainly gathering pace, the bit as it reaches more bike than bits always feels good. I like watching your progress Ted, thanks for the effort in documenting and posting.
