Stripe color advise, please
HEllo from Belgium,
I would like to get some advises on stripe colors. My car is being fully resprayed in gloss black and I would like to put Viper stripes on the bonnet
and the nose.
I like this style :

and this one

I am not sure for the color. The car will have black front wishbones, chrome headlamps, chrome windscreen, chrome wheels.
Silver stripe could be ok but not very original.
Any suggestions or pictures ?
Thank you
Chris

I am building a Black car and I thought about white stripes.
Black stripes might be cool. Yes yes black on black will be odd but if your paint is Black Gloss your black stripes could be Matt. Might look cool!

A good begin :
I had also thought about gold but with the chrome windscreen and other silver/chrome things (headlights, wheels (team dynamics pro race 1.2 in high
power silver) it will may be weird. But I admit that gold stripe + black pack is very nice
White stripe is also very classic and nice
black matt on black gloss : not for me but very good idea
Maybe lime green ? (Kawasaki green ?) or orange ?

I use to like stripes but now there's loads on the road cos manufactures are sticking them on crap shopping trolley tin tops 
Fame is when your old car is plastered all over the internet

Yes, gold is nice but the mix with chrome accessories and wheels is may be not the best one...
my girlfriend tells me a pink stripe could be nice.... I said "no way !"

Well, a black car the size of yours with white stripes would look like the M6

Why Stripes at all.
Just because stripes are in doesnt mean they have to be straight and parallel. What about waves, or stripes with jagged edges. None parallel stripes
closer at the front spreading out towards the rear of the car.
Just let your imagination run wild.

How about dark grey reflective. The unmarked traffic police cars here are called Ghost Cars, they are usually black with reflective black or dark grey
markings, they don't show until light hits them. Be great for a small black car (hard to see).

Thank you for all the options : dark grey should look good.
I will give it a try when I get my car back.
Always open for good ideas ;-)
