Paint Scheme Help

[Lowered13]

Looking for some opinions on going with either copper plated rims with burnt orange tank/tail and black engine and frame, also would have accents with copper and burnt orange. But also looking at maybe instead of burnt orange have a dark grey. Another option is to have black and burnt orange rims and orange tank with the black or maybe a the dark gray tank instead. So not sure of the colors but would be those three. The designs would have a stripe down the tank with 13 on the tail too. Also if someone is good at photoshop (cause I am not even close to good) and wants to do some color things that would be cool. Just need some opinions. My bike is a Yamaha r5 (below).

Need pictures not much of a visual guy. Copper wheels look wicked on pretty much any vintage bike.

Yeah same here. These are the times I wish I was good at photoshop.

copper plating = candy wrapper (plus it tarnishes to a delightful shade of dirty grey/green)

just sayin'

copper coloured paint = tasteful

brass plating = tasteful

I have looked it up some and saw that you could powder coat a clear on to them and they should be fine. Although a brass plate look might look better. Not sure.

They make a copper candy and also a clear that you can spray over shiny Chrome or aluminum, it looks trick like a new penny otherwise I just painted
My virago Pontiac g8 gold which looks just like gold anodizing on my dirt bike wheels
