Stripes????

I have been thinking of adding full body stripes to my Vet. I have a Cyber Grey Vert with a black top and a Kalahari 3LT interior. Does anyone have any suggestions on the color that would look good with my color options? Pictures would be great, thanks.

If it were mine, and I wanted to add stripes, I think I'd look closely at silver.

I'd go with black stripes to match the top. I don't like more than two different colors on my cars. Anymore and it looks to busy for me.

Does anyone have pictures of a Cyber Grey with black stripes? Would mat or gloss look better?

Sure wish that I could see one before spending the money. I'm torn between black and a color like the Kalahari interior. I saw a photo of a cyber grey with orange stripes. I kind of liked it but I think that the orange was a little too bright for me.

If I decide to put on stripes, what do I need to do to prepare the paint. I have a fairly liberal coat of "Rejex" on it now. What will take the Rejex off?

Your body shop will know how to prep it. They just finished mine. Then I had a pinstriper highlight them.

Hadn't planned on a "Body Shop". There is a Graphics/Window tinting shop here that is supposed to be very good. I called him and he said that he was unfamiliar with REJEX. Maybe I don't have to remove it but that's the question that I have.

Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread but, what kind of wheels/tires you have on the car? Looks great! Do you know the offsets? Do the rears rub, at all, against the fenders over bumps?
