I was thinking of painting my SS with Hammered Black and Dark Blue in honor of the PowerPro

At the moment I'm thinking Blue on the dial portion of the headstock and black on the left, with black legs and blue carriage.

(odd numbered moments I think black on the right an blue on the left)

mickyd, I'm curious...how are you putting the proposed color schemes together? I've got an old motorcycle project languishing in the garage and I'd love to spend some time dreaming up color schemes for it.

I use an image editing program called Paint Shop Pro. Learning curves a bit steep. Been working with it since it was shareware back in the 90's. To change colors, you just outline what you want to change with your mouse and then move a slider bar through the color spectrum to change colors then so the same thimg for how saturated you want the color to be..

I'll help you out by doing some mock ups for you if you'd like. I'm pretty quick at it.
