Vista Blue with Black stripes?
I was going to post this in the Appearance section but posts there seem to mysteriously disappear. I made a post there and after like a day it was gone. No idea why.
Anyway...
Does anyone have pics of a Vista Blue stang with black stripes painted on? I'd like to get racing stripes and I was thinking white at first. White looks great on Vista Blue but it's what EVERYONE does. I've seen black stripes painted on a Candy Apple Red car and it looked sick. So I figure black on Vista Blue would probably as well.

IMO vista blue is to dark for black stripes, there won't be enough contrast. I was considering a metallic gray, but have been too lazy to do it. Since you want them painted on, you can choose whatever color you want. I would go to the shop and look at some swatches and hold them up to your paint.

lol. Or in my case The Gimp. 
Unfortunately I suck too bad at photo editing to make anything look worth a damn. Getting the shinyness and reflections would be hard (for me at least).
I do like how white stripes would be very eye catching and would pop out. But what's cool about black is it's subtle but still looks bitchin'. Like the Candy Apple red w/ black stripes I saw.
Color swatches is a good idea still.

There's a car that's two tone with VB and black at the Marble Falls, Tx Ford dealer that one of the salesmen sent me a link to about a week ago.

I think it's a pretty interesting looking car, even though the black is not stripes. But this shows what black looks like against blue. That particular black looks a little less shiny than I would want but it's still not bad. The pic of it in the dealer there looks the best.
