Black with White stripes or White with Black stripes?
So finally I've collected enough cash to start doing some basic mods such as a paint job and possibly some vinyl graphics. I know for a fact that I want a Black and White color scheme because I'm colorblind and it'd make me feel less handicapped when asked what color my car is lol. Anyways, here's my dilemma. I cant decide on wether I want a black base with white vinyl/detail or a white base with black vinyl/detail. So what do you guys think?

Let me simplify what I'm trying to say lol. Forget the vinyl aspect. Let's say I wanted racing stripes with a new paint job. Would you want a black base coat with white racing stripes? Or. Would you want a white base coat with black racing stripes?

Black base, white stripes/vinyl. Personally I wouldn’t do it, but if I were to that’s how I would go.

Good idea ^
If you aboslutely have to have stripes, do black car with stripes in a lighter shade of black/grey. That way you can see it in certain lighting, but it doesn't scream "Hey, pull me over!!"

id go white with black stripes. temporarily had that on my car, 2 6inch wide black stripes centered down the length of the car, but decided solid white looked better. got a whole lot of compliments on it tho. good luck with whatever you choose.

i would also reccomend either a ghosted stripe... of vinyl that is more gunmetal... white on black and black on white has way too much contrast and is often interpretted as being gaudy

Just find the hookups to do it cheap. It always seems like someone has a friend who has a brother that works at a bodyshop and has too much free time to do a job for $1000 or something.
Or go balls to the walls and try it yourself if you don't care how it ends up :P

eh stripes don't look so bad, but the one combination with black paint that seems to look nice is a really light silver set of stripes, almost white looking..
