well see what happened was i went really fast through the thread and i saw the white car u photoshopped and then they other guy posted that really nice blue car and somehow the two meshed together in my brain and i thought the white car had that color blue stripes on it and i liked it. But have you thought about 35th anniversary stripes on the white car or even the hockey stripes on the front fenders?? I reeally like both those looks.

Well the car will be arctic white, stripes are like a bright blue, wether its electron, or cobra blue, etc... Then as far as hockey stripes, i had them, they are ok, not the best to go with the Sunoco hood and stock hood.

Ya, see i had to make it match, so whether the stock hood, or the Sunoco hood was on, it would match either way, so i think what i did in my photoshop pics is the best choice, will be done soon, and ill get some pics up for sure.

Well what ever you do don't go to crazy. I have noticed something. Getting a real crazy paint job looks good for about a month and then it looks nasty. Also and time change it looks worse and worse. Remember the 80's crazy neon colors yeah it looked bad *** in the 80's but makes you puke now. As far as white or blue goes I don't like white but love the fact that it hides anything scratches etc. blue is nice but shows everything my car is blue and if it gets any dirt on it or scratch you can see it from a mile. Just my thoughts anyway.

White is a great looking color, but IMO the only accent color that looks good with it is BLACK. Everything else looks cheesy
