I did some research today at the powder coaters and found a metallic silver pearl that I really like. I think you both were thinking more of a silver than a dark charcoal like I was thinking. I'm probably going to go with that on the frame. I would call it a medium shade. The motor is painted black right now. I'm not sure if I will stick with that or not. Kind of tempted to leave it that way. Hope to get this thing to the coaters in the next couple of weeks!
