Default powdercoating

Id like to get a few opinions on my powdercoating job comin up. Heres what im lookin at right now...
Front Bumper Black
Swing Arm Black
A-Arms Black
A-Arm Guards Orange
Stem / Ignition Frame Piece Orange
Rear Axle Orange
Radiator Shrouds Orange
Grab Bar Orange
My biggest question is which color to go with for the frame, black or orange?
Im also thinkin about doin the rims orange to contrast against the black tires, prob look sweet. And my frame color could alter my swingarm color which would alter my axle color... lol... What do u guys think??
OH, and my exhaust is all Black, gonna do my engine either black with orange trim/highlighted or vise versa

well what I would do is make my frame black,bumper black,swingarm and a arms orange,a arm gaurds orange,stem black, leave the axle alone,shrouds orange,grap bar orange...thats what I would do personally, but its up to you...take a look at my ds650 because I took it apart and got it powdercoated about a year ago and really like the way it turned out, but you would use orange obviously...should look pretty cool when you are done let us know how it goes...also make sure that you grind off the powdercoat in certain areas like:ground,bolts holes,brake pedal mount,and anywhere else that needs to be cleaned off.

Yea i like ur frame a lot, but u have black plastics to contrast it well, with my orange rear plastics im thinkin the orange frame would be a bit much, so im leanin on the black frame right now, i'll def renew my pics page when im done
