well....
1. i really want the stripes
2. i dont want the peeling clear coat
3. stripes will cost me less than $100
4. clearing the whole panel will cost me .... more than 100
5. i still want the stripes.
6. i got the car cheap as all hell considering the year and miles, so im not worried about resale price
6. if you havent noticed i like to have something different, hence the actual color of the car, black wheels with red stripe, and spears on the back
7. if clearcoat didnt peel off and didnt look bad, i would have the stripes on thereright now eaither way

Well then, might I suggest black? I think it will work with the rims.
Silver looked good, but I don't know how it will look with your darker rims.
Orange doesn't seem to work, unless you de-de-ambered.
No to red because it would have to match your tail lights and rims perfectly too look good. I think that'd be difficult and too many shades of red will look busy.
Gray seems like an additional color, and you don't want more colors on your car, black, silver, red, + gray... too much.

Black would get my vote, but photoshop that action Mladen! And when you do, use a medium shot, not too close, not too zoomed out (basically get the wheels in the shot).

although i think that black would go with the wheels, i dotn want them to be seperated from the tails, so i think i may go with red.
ill just tell the shop to match the red to the tail lights.
i want to do them this way, not the slim ones.
over from ppbb

All things considered, I've changed my mind. I think I like the red.
