Striping Color opinions, Please! - Lateral-g Forums

So I'm in putting the car back together so I can paint my racing strips on the car. I originally bought a platinum silver color to do the racing stripes in and now that I'm seeing the color on the car I'm thinking some sort of pearl white might look better on the car with this green. What does everyone think?

Platinum metallic silver
Pearl White

I really think the pearl white will be too bright againt the green. Or rather that specific green is too bright for the white to look good with. I hope that make sense. I think a darker metallic silver would look good on it. Maybe even black?

i had thought about black but I think black would just be to strong of a color for the green.

I didn't think about black, that would look sweet too. Or as also stated a slightly darker green (like ghost stripes) would be sweet also. You got your work cut out for you....those are tuff choices.

What color interior? what finish are you going with on the wheels?

Without knowing those things, I second the vote for black.

This is my delema, I was going to accent the interior and wheels off the silver stripes.

W/ Platinum Stripes I would go with a black interior with the silver accents and the wheels would have a polished lip with the center painted silver

W/Pearl white stripes I would go with a peanut butter color interior and the wheels would have to be a polished aluminum

W/ Black Stripes Obviously I would go with black interior and the wheels would obviously be black or partially black

My wife had said use black but I thought maybe the black would be to dark. God why can't this be easy....lol I thought I had it all figured out.
