Colour scheme suggestion for my tank & side panels?
Andych:
Maybe do a little more than look at the youtube clip and have a look at the company... it expalins their system... and it is FAR from Just being a simple Single stage metallic paint job...
I know full well the "true" methodology of Traditional Candy Paint but this system gives excellent results (see some of their examples) and simple blending in case of damage... not something you can do with traditional candy paint (well most painters cant)
Other than that.... It was a COLOUR Suggestion... as per the Subject of the Thread.

My brother Paul saw my bike on Friday for the first time in about 4 months - he was very taken with the powder coating job on my wheel hubs it's a pseudo chrome finish.
He thinks matching powder coated chrome silver tank or the same paint codes as my Gold wheels for tank & side panels.
I was leaning towards a midnight blue metallic - now I'm in doubt again!!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'm going to go with Blue I think gone off the transfer chain mail dip/wrap ideas - not sure if the same colour as the frame as I have the RAL code or to go for a darker blue but 90% decided on blue (this week).lol
My mate is a retired colour chemist he thinks a Cobalt Blue mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Tonight I loosly fitted the light blue fuel tank & side panel to see how bad the original parts would look against the new frame colour & gold alloy wheels - not as bad as I thought it would look.
Whats the view here - please do not be too harsh but be honest please?

Doesn't look too bad at all to me, difficult as you already comment, to visualise changes easily.
Reminds me a little of this, which I always liked. Also Gauloise when they sponsored in GP racing.

If you take a side on picture like your one above, both sides, then anyone with image edit skills should be able to show colours different to that one. It's easy to sample the colour of tank, and edit just that colour for you as you asked before about.
