Ive pretty mych decided the bodywork will be Cadillac pearlescent white with exposed carbon fiber peeking through. Maybe even a transparent white.
The frame will be a satin color, not shiny but with a little sheen to it. Dark color, gunmetal grey, something like that.
Black wheels and engine bits with a few red accents.

Good choices on the colors should look good! can't wait to see it. (though everyone knows yellow is the fastest color 
)
Your place looks a lot like my Dad's place up in WI.. lol, only the white truck in the background would be a green 1942 powerwagon and the old bikes would be BMWs and Benellis instead.

So I just spent an hour trying to decide on a color.
I got Bright red for the calipers
A good dark metallic engine enamel
Some primer, paint stripper, and wax remover.
but I still cant decide on a frame color.

yes thanks for the warnings guys, just a little late.
I found out that aircraft paint stripper doubles as people skin stripper.
Stripping the paint from the engine is a bitch, but i found alot of corrosion under seemingly good looking paint.
As for the dents, i drilled a hole on the inside of the frame, and beat out the dent as much as possible. The sandblasted surface provides good adhesion, and the JB stick weld is tough ****.
