tins = gas tank and fenders and in this case probably the side cover.

here is an idea, if it is for a customer would it be practical to think of maybe 4 colors you like then let the customer choose?

Gloss black base with matte black flames.  Like the old Mopars (the colors, not the flames).

I rarely let the customer choose or make a final choice until I'm standin' at the counter lookin'at chips. I've painted a lot of chevy hugger orange (crosses to mopar orange). Black and orange,the extra coler doesn't add that much time relative to the total task.

It's one of our demo bikes, so no customer. I'm liking the grey/black combo Soren. Hmmmmmmm.
