Default Stripe Question..

Here's my small problem. My car goes in next week to have the damage repaired and the new Cervini's '67 hood installed. My only issue now is, what color to re-do the stripes. I don't want to go the matte route again, they ended up losing their "matte-ness" and started to shine, so I was looking at a dark/slate/charcoal gray. My painter said that a dark red metallic would look really cool since I have the red interior. I love the idea of doing something not too many people have done, but I don't know if I have the ***** to paint red stripes on my car. Now I'm stumped.

Anyone have dark red stripes? How about dark gray? Can I get a few examples?

Thanks!

This may give ya an idea what red strips on black would look like. I have vinyl strips on my stang also. I'm totally happy with vinyl. Looks very nice.

I went with the Geranium red that BaltimoreStreetMods sells. It matches the red leather interior almost perfectly. Couldn't have made a better choice imo.





Man the *** end looks high...so glad I lowered it.
