BMW F800GS (new) Color Options - Page 13

With the first really crappy weekend weather I'm finally getting to my paint the tank (or all of bike) project. I can't decide between painting the tank the color of original, 30 year anniversary (Alpine White), or something else. My girlfriend wants red, I'm undecided. The seat is being rebuilt in January so I can choose the color to something other than red if I want. Ideas?

I like to have a decent place to build a paint booth in my rental townhouse. I have an HVLP paint sprayer, air supplied respirator, IR curing lamps, and a CAD vinyl cutter for paint stencils. No shop es no bueno!
