Default schwinn legacy

im stoked im building a new bike. its a schwinn legacy. its red and ivory colored. very classic looking. the gas tank is black so im going to repaint it. first i tried just plain ivory but it sticks out so much might as well make it glow in the dark too. so im going to do some design with red in it. anyone have any ideas?
