Question Stripe Color?? Help me Decide!!!
i designed my own stripe design and i finally am ready to get it cut out out my vinyl and get it on my car but i cant decide on a color. I was thinking silver or red but that seems to common. I was thinking maybe a metallic blue or a silver carbon fiber. My car is black so i think both would look good but i want some opinions on what some other people think. Maybe i just need to keep it simple.
Here are some vinyls I am leaning towards:
CHARCOAL METALLIC

SILVER CARBON FIBER

BLUE METALLIC
