If you are going with a blue car, then white stripes are in order. Eye appealing. Black stripes would get lost in the blue.

RE: What Color?
That's what I thought to. But I want to tint my windows sometime and I want the car to have a color to match the windows, and to match my black interior. How easily does silver smoke grey fade?

RE: What Color?
But what color for the stripe? I want to do either black with silver GT stripes or silver with black GT stripes. The problem is that black might show any flaws in my body that I may have missed and silver may fade too easily.

RE: What Color?
You have changed your mind about what color to paint your car about 20,000 times now. 
Make up your mind about the main body color, then add the color of the GT stripes. Grays usually don't fade as much as black. But, neither will fade if kept in a garage when not driving them, and they have a thick coat of wax on them. The only colors that fade, are colors that have not been maintained with good wax jobs.

Believe it or not, I like subtle when it come to strips. My stripe is a couple of shades darker then the paint. My last car was white with light gray stripes but they were reflective, so at night they lit up when head lights from other cars hit it...
