If you compare the colors of the Tele-Viper in the trouble bubble, I would say either a light blue or even a grey-blue is perfect.

I bought one to and am a little torn on the color process also. I am very tempted to paint it black, with a small hint of blue through out.

I will post as soon as I get it done (most likely this weekend).
