I've been thinking about doing a repaint on the 1500, but as much as I like the orange, I'm afraid it would come out looking like a big cremesickle...I did my Hotrod in GM Sunburst orange about 10 years ago...and my FLT in 2003...slightly different GM orange....
I hope my 800 doesn't turn out looking like a cremesickle.....

- May 17, 2015, 21:38:54 PMThis has been going really slow- it's killing me.... I had an eye injury of unknown origin a couple of weeks ago, ended up with a corneal ulcer, which believe me is small but hurts like hot coals in your eye... Besides everything ELSE that has to break, need fixed, trees to cut down, grass to mow, and everything ELSE.... very little time to get on it.
But with a little here, a little there.... there is at least a little progress....

- May 17, 2015, 21:37:15 PMWell, I decided on just a plain-jane single black stripe. PC, I wanted to take your advice, but my pinstriper is near 70 years old (he doesn't look it), and said he didn't really trust his eyes and steadiness of his hand to do double stripes any more. SO, we ended up with a single black stripe, and I'm happy with it. We'll see how it looks when it goes back together....

Or.....Black and Gold to seperate the colors and then some tasteful Black and Gold hot rod style pinstripes to tie it all together. Stuff like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=pinstriping&newwindow=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=saxHVbbYHoSZsAX9xIC4Bg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=675
Or you could go with a more modern twist and go with a lime green pinstripe.
