Default Carden Edge 540 Scheme help

Just started covering a 40% Carden Edge a few hours ago. Going fairly simple on the scheme. Sky Blue up top, white in the middle with a silver stripe. Was going to do the bottom of the fuse black....was just about to start, then thought maybe I would go green, orange, pink or midnight blue. I could also do sky blue again and go with a traditional Zivko 540 scheme. Any suggestions? I figue balck is easiest to color match th paint which always seems to be a pain . Let me know what you think, Thanks

Buzm, I like that one.....guessing it is black on the bottom. Here is where I got the general idea for mine substituting blue for red and white for silver

Craig, here is my opinion, don't cover it, be different, it's called art, fly it without covering.

Sleepy, black was my original plan. Then I started thinking orange or pink. I am dying to do the bottom, but think I will sleep on it. I do think black is a safe bet....decisions, decisions

Black is always BadAss.
Johnny Cash said so.

Also, it's on the bottom, the only place black REMAINS looking good for years to come.
