What is a good color for a stripe on a red Formula? Since I am getting a complete paintjob thanks to some a$$monkey that keyed my car, I figured now is the time to do something different. I am leaning towards a single stripe 6" wide that follows the hood line over the roof and as wide as the center tailight section over the trunk. I was thinking about either pewter or a metallic black. Any suggestions? I dont want to fark this up but I just cant decide what color would look good. Any photoshop help would be appreciated also.TIA

Re: What is a good color for a stripe on a red Formula? If I had a red car I would go with either black or silver or white, depending on the wheel color and interior trim 
You can't go wrong with either of those choices. Good luck!
BTW, just added a 25th Anniv. style center stripe on my car (not painted - a decal). You can check out a couple pics of it by clicking on link in sig (it's on page 2 of my webshots album - better pics to come)
Keep us posted on what you go with and how it turns out

Re: What is a good color for a stripe on a red Formula? Thanks everyone. I made up my mind and I am dropping it off today. I will have pics in 10 days.

Re: What is a good color for a stripe on a red Formula? I have never been able to decide and I have the same car but without t-tops.
I'm thinking silver, I looked at red pontiacs with black treatments and was underwhelmed. BFranker has a whole gallery of shots at www.camaroz28.com...

I vote NO stripe on a Formula. Might make the car look kinda ricey or "young punk" looking. Your car looks sweet as it is!

Re: What is a good color for a stripe on a red Formula? I say stay away from stripes unless you have a WS6 hood. It look good like it is. Love the rims.
