Racing Stripe

[slowandlow]

oh i was getting quotes to get the botom of my hood painted and the top cleared. then one shop recomended a strype on the cowl and run it down the back. now what color?


silver
black
burgendy


i was think of a cool silver that is a little blackish when you look at it different.

[smlzalero]

What color is your car?

[MCKALERO03]

^Its Midnight blue I believe.
I would def. go with silver. If your are going to have it shift, make it shift to like a dark grey almost black.

This isn't going to be a vinyl stripe is it?...I do know that they make vinyl that shifts colors...if this is going to be straight up paint...then I'd go with a sliver stripe as well...although I like it when from the front you can see the sliver, and as you slowly drive by it begins to fade into the same color of the car, or even a darker blue than the car.

[slowandlow]

it is paint i got a good quote for a single stage base clear but i was thinking of a 2 stage with a shimer so it looks a little different on the way you look at it

[StockAlero00]

depends on what u want. Do u want it to be noticeable from a far, then go with the silver. If u dont want it that noticeable, but enough to notice the difference, go with burgandy.

[pawzbear]

ahh..silver. the others just arent clicking imo.

[Redog]

If your car is a dark color, I'd say white would look best

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

^ IMO, white doesn't go well with metallic colors, unless there's a metallic white......:wacko:

I second that. My $.02 again, racing stripes are played out. At least around where I live.

i do hace the cow hood and i was thinking of using the cowl as a guide for my stripe and i want some clear coat in the hood due to the fact that i am getting some sctatching on the hood and with the strype i will get the whole hood cleared.

[FormulaNERD]

i voted "other" as in none.

[slowandlow]

here is the best i can do with no photo shop

[Crolero]

either silver or white, anything else wouldnt blend together. plus it'll match your rims and overall sceam.

Its your car but I think it would look like poop... might have been ok 10 years ago but not now..

[Oldsmopimp]

hey, at least he's got a coupe. lol

[slowandlow]

ok then what do you recomen to do i want to protect the hood with clear and paint some of the hood but not all. i would like to keep the cf peaking throghin some places.
all ideas is welcome

forbidden what do you recomend me going with i have a friend who is good at shooting paint . but i want something simple to cut down on time best for both of us

[forbidden]

well thats up to you... Its a little hard for me to recomend because I am more into changing the over all look of my car. If it was me i say reapaint all of the car with a custom paint job.
