It's almost time for paint and we are trying to decide about stripe colors for my wifes car. The car is going to be a very bright red with a black interior. Chrome 17" wheels and a whole lot better perforamce than stock.

What do you guys think? Black, White, Silver. Or maybe a Mary Kay Pearl - it's a very mild pink that isn't on here now.

The paint is a House of Kolors Blue Blood. It's such a bright red you may have to tilt your monitor to see it right.

Hmmm... Sort of liking that silver. Different but classy looking. White would be 2nd choice.

I'm not feeling the silver stripe on a red car. If you want 'classy', go with the white stripes. If you want "bad", go with black.

More details would help but I would only consider black or white.

Ask your wife. It's her car. Stripe color ought to be her choice.
