Speed Triple hugger fender - color suggestions?

My younger brother is starting a business making fiberglass and carbon fiber parts. I gave him the idea of making some Speed Triple fiberglass huggers, painted.

What would be a good color for these, black, flat black or painted to oem speed triple colors?

Pretty safe with black, I've also seen a number of places offering colour matched paint for a small additional fee - could be an option

Why paint them?
Use a good quality gelcoat in various colors, or stay with simple black. Good quality gelcoat is every bit as nice as paint, and much more durable.
