Which pieces to paint - photoshop render
So I'm playing around in photoshop trying to decided which pieces of the bike I should paint black. Let me know what you guys think, here is an stock photo versus my idea..
Stock:
Render:
This render has the headlight, engine, side covers, & turn signals painted black.
Painting the side covers white is also an option, not sure which would look better ? Also the headlight trim piece - what do you guys think, keep it chrome or paint it as well?
Later down the road hopefully I'll put on some black pipes. Any other pieces you guys might think look good painted?
White side panels, with Black Pipes

I like what you've done so far... I'd say keep the trim on the headlight chrome and get some clear or smoke turn signal covers...

Do another Photoshop with white headlight, side covers, & turn signals. Leave the engine black and headlight trim piece chrome  . Absolutely no question in my mind  .
The black interrupts the flow of the Fury's beautiful line  .

your photoshop looks spot on. By having the fender and tank in white just makes the bike. IMHO i think any more would just look odd. I like the black head light as well. All those pieces you can do your self, if you take your time you can make it look professional, even with a rattle can.

i like the rendering. black out the entire headlight. definetely cannot understand anyone not painting the side panels. the plastichrome just flat out cheapens the bike.

i like the blacked out motor, headlight and side covers, blacking out the side covers makes the motor stand out nice

I like it! Dont forget to do the final drive in black. Leave the trim ring chrome, it stands out nicely. Look at my pictures and you will see the headlight with the chrome trim. Good job and I would be doing the same if I had the white.

looking at the photchop pic again ... paint the side covers black if your keeping the factory exhaust in chrome ... it sets off the engine. Now, if your going with a set of black pipes then i would paint the sides white ... as it would break up the sides from being all black.

I painted the covers under the seat, the drivetrain cover on the left side, the air cleaner cover, and the key cover all flat black, looks way better I think, I'll post a pic when I get home
