The ealy Z50 softtails had black frame and swingarm, powdercoated.

Get the black bedliner, it sounds hardy. I would put a few 3-4 coats of that, and 3 coats of clear.

I had mine sand blasted and powder coated black had the wheels done in silver turned out really nice.

white plastics and blue frame look sweet, that's the color scheme i went with and i love it.

I used a good automotive primer and clear coat, but did the actual color with some puff cans from O'Reilly's, it's held up awesom so far

here's a pic
