Default What color should I paint my GSXR?

First things first. I know this is a Kawasaki forum I am just looking for different opinions and ideas on what color to paint my bike. I have a gray GSXR that I bought with the right fairing scratched up. I figured it was my first bike so I was going to drop it but it's been about a 1000 miles and I really hate having the fairing all scratched up. I already found someone who will paint my bike I just can't decide on a color. I was going to keep it the same color gray but unfortunately I called the original owner to get the paint code and it was a custom mix so no luck. You guys think I should try to keep something similiar to this or change it completely? Thanks

Some paint shops can match that color. If you like it stick with it.
But since you asked, my two cents would be to go with a brighter color.

I really like the color - its different. I'm sure someone could match it up for you.

But I do like the Kawi green idea that evil suggested! Then you'd definately fit in here!

that's funny. My bike is black and teal right now and I'm going to be painting it gray. Actually, it will be the exact same color as the new chevy tahoes. I'd say if you're gonna be painting it, paint it a dark metalic gray. But see, I just like that color on bikes
