musicheadt,

I would go with white personally, but silver isnot a bad choice either. I'm gettingmetallic silver stripes on my car later this month. In looking at Humboldt Stang's car, the black looks nice too. If my car was the Torch Red instead of Redfire, I would have gone with white. My vote is for white!

its your own preference.
At least you can stripe your car. I live in Arizona so if I get any kind of vinyl stripe it will fade in around a year! So just make a decision and go get it done.. I am sure you will grow to like whatever you do.

i recommend getting the stripes painted on. its alot easier to maintain paint. the original owner of mine didnt take care of the vinyl stripes on mine and if you look close you can see hundreds of water spots. ive tried everything to get them refurbished. ill remove them and paint new ones on when i get my KR hood. a local guy has the windevil blue with gunmetal stripes and it looks good.

I have a windveil and I'm looking at stripes, too. I think the black just doesn't look right, so I would pick either white or silver. I haven't seen a windveil with silver, so I'm leaning towards white.

(Also, BSM doesn't have flat white-- only gloss white.)

Like some have already suggested, have them painted on. They will last longer and you can get the finish like you want.
However, I have read where some guys have bought stripes then had them clear coated. Seems like a lot of unnecessary expense to me, when you could have them painted on the first time.

ooh I bet the gunmetal grey would look AWESOME on the windveil...would love to see a pic of that!

Humbolt I think your black stripes look really good too. I think I prefer the darker colors on the windveil rather than white.

Maybe something more like a white pearl rather than performance white?
