I had a 2008 red connie that i thought was beautiful that i sold...
Did you paint it? The 2008 was only offered in light blue (Neutron Silver) and I think black is offered every year.
then missed the bike and bought a 2008 silver years later.. I usually don't care much about bike color.. but i really dislike the silver..
Probably because it isn't silver, it is light blue
(Only real silver C14 offered was the 2011, Atomic Silver, and it is sweeeeeeet
)
i am considering haviing the bike painted.. wonder if it can be done for under $500 if i disassemble and prep the panels... also I can't decide what color.. it is so hard for me to tell the color from a paint chip. anyone have advise or tips or things to be aware of ?? thanks

Picking a color is just your own preference. Pick whatever you like. Some factors to consider are how hard it is to keep it clean (black doesn't fare well), how badly it shows damage (also a black issue), safety/visibility (also looking at you negatively, black), how hot it gets (yep, yet another fault of black) and matching color later (at least black is easy to match). You can probably tell I think black is not an ideal color..... except nothing looks quite as nice as a clean, shiny, good condition black vehicle!
Sounds like you liked and miss the red... so why not go for red again?
