Default Changing to a new color or leave it blank

So I when I got this bike it had a nice color on it, but the problem was that it had cracks here and there with body filler coming off everywhere. So I decided to clean up the body and primer it until I can get a better color for it and clean up the parts as well. I have the throttle bodies off for cleaning. I have a body shop next to my work and they are just waiting for me to pick a new color. If not, maybe I will just leave it primer. Any colorful ideas dudes?


Original Color:



Sanded down:


What I got it at right now:

Black suits it imo :) Can you just put a matte laquer over the top of what you have there?

You know a lot of riders are telling me the same thing. And I must admit, it does look good with the flat black look on it.
