That bike doesn't look bad, but I would have used a darker shade of blue on the wheels.

im thinking its going to be damn near impossible to match the factory flat blue.

what do you think it would look like with the center of the wheels and all the silver (rear sets, heal guards ect.) powder coated to match the gold in the front forks

all black on the flat blue looks nice. imo tho, if you black out the wheels and then paint the lowers blue like that guy did, leave the side plastics black or paint the sides and tank plastics blue too.
