I had thought about doing the front fender green, the tank and side
covers white and the tool box and rear fender red, but then decided on
the flat black approach for just the same reason that Chris put it,
"Cheap and easy" just like Daisy. :)

My bike is getting a rattle can flat black paint job on the fender and
toolboxes - cheap, easy and matches the fading tank. An artist friend
offered to paint some vargas type pinups on the toolboxes, so Ian your
wish may come to life.
I saw a harley once with a pretty cool flower paint job. It was a white
bike with roses and thorns all over it. The owner, while a nice guy to
chat with at the bike shop, was large enough that he could have painted
it pink metalflake with magenta flames and no one would say anything.

Better yet...why don't you get images of Italian babes put on the tank.
After all the bike is just that :-)

I have always thought about painting the tank in the Italian colours
with
the clours blending in at each transition.

After telling the wife about the color I have chosen for Daisy (which is

flat black mostly), she come up with an idea that I should paint little
Daisies all over the bike! Just so it will go with the name! Yeh right,
I can just see myself pulling up to a biker bar with a bike with daisies

all over it. That's just begging for trouble.
