Default Stripes

The previous owner tried to remove the stripes from the car (badly done).the only stripes left are ones on the boot are white but crackled looking.

Anyway i plan to redo them an just wonder wat color to go with. I don't want go back to white.

So wat would look good on the dark metallic green ?

black is good. could go with a lighter or darker shade of green.

if you want contrast, Silver would be the way to go. it would tie into the aluminum rims nicely.

i agree with both of the previous posts, it just depends if you want a big contrast (silver) or a subtle one (black). either would look good IMO.

Hmmm on that site is says "so easy a 12yr old can do it". Stripes are not supposed to be easy and if they are that easy...there might be a problem. The main one being bubbling.

I would say yes to both black or silver. However you can also try "ghost" stripes or a different color that would look good would be gunmetal.

This is where I got mine:

http://www.3rdgendecals.com/

very high quality plus they have alot more color options. Those flat ones like in the first site mentioned above, I don't like because they are just plain solid with no pinstriping...yes you can pay for the roll .... but do you know how hard pinstriping around a stripe is??? You get what you pay for and 3rdgendecals is great and I believe their vinyl is 5-7yr outdoor type...which will last.
