need opinion

[low_life]

I'm looking for help i can't decide. This is the bike i'm doing for my wife. Should i go with white fenders or copper? it's goind to have white rims and white banana seat, and white trim on the chaingaurd. I was planning on going to tone but for some reason i can't get the tape to lay in a design i'm happy with and i'm tired of working on it i want to give it to her already. So let me know your opinions. thanks

I like the white fenders. but perhaps you can add some color to them by painting a straight copper strip down the middle of the fenders. something like this!

edit: after looking again at the picture.. i think with the white/copper strip fender or copper/white strip would look awesome. Are the rods to hold the fender in place chrome? they look white.

the rods are right now white. (the chrome was shot.)

I kinda like the copper...

I'm curious about the paint...that color is incredible.

Was it a spray can?

i fell in love with the color once i laid it down. Yes it's a can dupli color metel specs copper (can looks orange) it's over a white base (base makes a difference in the final color) i love the metal specs line

that's the same burnt copper, duplicolor, i used on the target bike...

i would go with some white details, i like what Manny suggested with the fenders... dont get tired yet... keep going!

white trim on fenders

ok ok so the rear fender is done (2 tone) my biggest problem was i just couldn't lay down straight lines for anything (done it plenty of times but this bike dosn't like me for some reason. ) guess i was just getting frustrated. If you really look at it it's not 100% but it's for my wife not a customer and i'm sure the bike will be abused anyway i'm happy i went the 2 tone route thanks for talking me into trying agian.

Lay Down a "Color Differentiation Line" always with a very thin Pin Stripping tape..it's easy to manipulate..

Then go over that with Wider tape..

A little painter trick.

works for me..you can get some awesome Bends in a Line with Pin Stripe Tape..
and Fill after with bigger Tape.

peace,
Kev.
