                        Silver will be brighter, gold would be warmer. Candy lime over silver flake would be cool. But maybe not very Kawasaki like. Car and bike painters do test panels. I keep a box of white plastic spoons around and when I'm curious about how a color will look over different bases I'll experiment on them. Different bases on different spoons and then topcoat. Downside is you do have to use a little paint but you can hold them side by side and compare the effects. And you can save them for future reference.
