Looking for paint suggestions - old gold - 02-19-2013
It's time to paint the bike. My 85 Interstate was originally metallic blue; an unknown PO painted it purple and I'm ready to have a shop make it look right.
The 85 GL1200 came in 6 different colors: Metallic Silver, Metallic Blue, Metallic Gold, Metallic Beige, Vintage Red, and Wineberry Red. I think the Wineberry looks best, but wanted to get some other thoughts. Yes, that's asking for your opinions; just support them with a picture , please.
Thanks

If vote for the Wineberry. I've had the tan @ the black , but like the Wineberry best. Of course that's just my opinion
I agree with fatwing

My 85 is Wineberry red, so I guess I am partial to that color.

Seams like every second Gold-Wing is wine-berry - paint it any different colour so you can find it in a parking lot.
If I paint my bike I might consider a deep ivory but then I have to admit Black Gold-Wings are pretty Sharp ....!!
I don't mind the grey but I have way TOO MUCH GREY already..!!

Black would actually be my first choice.Black with everything else blacked out as well.As little chrome as possible.Just like the F6B.
