Nomad Paint Job/Color Preference

I love Kawi's Phantom Silver. I am also a big fan of the way the green seems to be black when the angle of the light is just right. I would like to see something in Hemi Orange and Silver.

Black ice metallic with gold pinstriping and a picture of the twin towers burning and an eagle with outstretched claws super imposed in front of them on each saddlebag.

White or Pearl White would be my choice. Always thought that was the best color for bikes. Don't like white cars though.

My Dad had an Allis-Chalmers dealership when I was growing up. At that time the tractors where Persian Orange with Cream highlights. So I've always been a sucker for Orange. I like the looks of classic two-tone. Oh Yeah!

I agree. When we were talking about the calendar, I said that Chuckster's bike is one of my favorites. Some of the things I like about it are the fact that the strips are filled in, and the paint on the saddlebag doors is unique.

I'd like a deep looking white, with red pinstripe or a pretty beige and something like dark chocolate stripes.

I am currently looking at painting mine black pearl and toxic lime green. The black pearl would take the place of the blue and the toxic lime done in a crystal pattern with retro glow added so the green will glow on its own at night will take the place of the silver. Then real gold leafing done as the pin stripping

You all, have a lot of real nice ideas. Imagine, in a group, and all our bikes were painted the way we wanted. Would look sweet.

But I also think the Nomad has such great lines, you can pretty much go with any color combo you want and have a great looking bike!
i had a yamaha midnight special that was all gloss black with gold highlights. beautiful bike.....still the 2 tone green is better. ;)

How I would like to be able to do what you do to your "toys"!!

Unfortunately for me, I have to pay for what you can do.

"Old-School" colors are my favorites as well -- especially two-toned schemes with "cream-color" as one of the two colors in combination with red/orange pin-striping.

I think audiogooroo hit the nail on the head when he said the Nomad has such nice lines, any color looks good. I am very partial to the red/black offered in '08, and a similar color combination that was offered a few years back, also. The first new Kenworth I purchased was done up in red/black. I also like white/red.

Sometimes a bike done up in a nice flame job looks good, too. Everyone has their definition of what a 'nice' flame job is...
