Default Paint a GS or SS Stripe & Color?

Im getting pretty bored with the plain old white paint on the car. I want to add a stripe or hit it with some pearl. What do you guys think?

Its a white coupe with red interior. Look in sig for pics.

Two, parallel, outlined stripes over the top. Usually ending before going over the front "bumper" or rear "bumper" areas!
(as opposed to one outlined stripe like on the Grand Sport ... ALSO: The Grand Sport stripe obviously goes over the entire length of the car ... "bumpers" and all)

An example of the SS stripes would be a Chevrolet Camaro SS or Chevelle SS.

Anyone have another take or anything to add?

:cheers:

I don't like the white stripe on GS cars. Now the blue on a white car would look cool. JMHO. :cheers:

Check out the white car in my sig. its not street legal, but turned out pretty good. If you do a stripe, I would suggest going to a graphics place as oppsed to paint, that way if you change your mind........... Anyway with all the graphics on this car, it ran about $300

What color interior does it have? Also, do graphics hold up okay in the sun and weather of S FL?

Anybody have examples of a GHOST FLAME job on a white car?

Thanks

Does anyone have the measurements for doing the GS stripe? I'm sort of thinking about a black one on my cE when it comes back home.

I like the reverse GS paint sceme, but it probably would also depend on the color of your interior. :seeya
