Default Need opinions

Have a 2017 Z51 coupe Black Rose with Kalahari interior. Been thinking about adding a body stripe or at least a hood stinger.
But have no idea about what colors would look good together. Since i am a lousy color combo picker on most things lol.
So lets see what you have or ideas.

thanks

I'm a fan of subtlety, and am closing in on something like this for my Stingray. Check with MIke at http://www.vettestripes.com/ for suggestions and samples

If you are adding stripes or stinger I'd say a subtle color like mentioned by others... but IMO, the color of your car is way to sexy to be putting any stripes on.

well, if it is good enough for the Royals: Deep Maroon, black top, and orange pinstriping. On TV those pinstripes really popped, more so than in these pictures.

In my opinion the stripes and logos look good on some colors but not others. I like yours as-is.

A color that would match your interior would look good.

I don't believe I'd stripe this one as needs nothing else.
Seems like you are just striping it to be striping or you'd know what color and wouldn't be asking.
However if using tape you can take it off easy enough.

If you could find a stinger in a color slightly darker to your paint, I think it would look very good. Other than that, maybe too much going on with the interior color too. Your car looks good as is.

Looks too great the way it is to add a stinger, resist the urge for now!

Good idea, good color! Can't beat a pro picking!

Not a big fan of strips BUT if I was going to do it, would do it right! Painted with a pinstripe.

Don't need a pinstripe expert just a good painter. That is how they did my ProStreet Rod. 1) Mask for whatever stripe, 2) then paint whatever pinstripe color, 3) then use thin masking tape and cover the edge where you want the pinstripe or slightly in from the edge to have the pinstripe inset, 4) then paint the strip color 5) remove the pinstripe tape 6) then clear coat!
