Default Custom Paint

I'm in sales and spend a lot of time talking to customers about this and that, with the occassional comment about what I sell.

I was at a tradeshow recently and was talking to a walk in about what's the latest gadgetry and software and such for the equipment I sell. That took a few minutes to explain the new features and benefits and how he can do blah blah blah.

However, we got to the fun part where we stood around and talked about "stuff". He's from Canada and an avid Harley Davidson fanatic. He's not a biker, but likes the bikes. We got to talking about custom paint jobs on bikes and cars and he told me about the best one he had ever seen.

It was at a bike show a couple of years ago in Denver. They had two bikes on display and just to look at them you wouldn't think anything special. They looked either all black or green. No big deal, plain stock colors. However, he said that if you saw them in the right light (angled sunlight for example), underneath the colors was a holographic design that came through.

He said the black one had skulls of various sizes and locations on the tank and fenders, and you could only see certain ones depending upon where you stood.

The all green one had white butterflys.

So it got me thinking.

I've got the graphite '04. If I had the money, what would I do?

How about an flying eagle on the doors? I dont' know, but that was the first thing that popped in my mind.

Still has my brain juices going though.....

Your flying eagle made me think of 'Smokey & the Bandit' Trans-am's.
You got a moustache and a stetson???
