The original metallic gray of the bike was always far too dark for my likings. And as I was about to get my full license, allowing me to drive after sundown and get on the highway, this wasn't a good thing. A genuine silver would have been acceptable, but metallic gray was the only color option available.

Therefore, the new paint job would have to:
1: Increase road visibility.
2: Be creative
3: Be unique
4: Be simple
