I have a torch red stang and I'm having stripes put on on the 20th of this month. I'm trying to decide if I want white or silver. Does anyone have pics of torch red stangs with silver stripes?

 

White. Although if you want to be different get silver. I've seen both and you really can't go wrong with either.

 

Its not a mustang but it sure looks nice with silver.

 

Heres one.

 

i would go with silver....

white pops too much..

 

If you want to be different, you'd ghost stripe them in a slightly darker or lighter shade of red... with flaming edges. But that'd be me being different.

The color of the stripe should be attempted to match/complement the interior. Therefore, a silver stripe with the tan interior would be silly looking, IMO, and the Gold is the way to go.

Black interior can use any stripe, although I'd go black stripe with that. Gray interior would get silver, with maybe white.

Really, honestly, the only interior that I think would work with the white stripe is the red leather insides. Even then, the amount of black is counter to the white stripes...

It's your car, though, you need to do what you want. It'll look great whatever you choose, I bet!

 

I was going to suggest white until I saw the shot of the red Shelby. Silver!

 

The white is pretty classic... but I really like this red/silver one...



I'm sure some of that comes from the pins on it.

 

black would be best, but silver would be my choice out of those two

 

what would be cool, and very different, is to get red. a slightly darker red. but not by much. But I guess I like subtlety. I'm getting matte black on black.

 

I wouldn't do any other shades of red unless it was very, very subtle, like a shadow/ghost stripe. Too much contrast (going darker or lighter), and you risk one of them coming out looking pinkish.

I say be different and do something like a warm/Mineral gray (though a bit lighter than Ford's '05 color). Would go well with the red (both warm colors), wouldn't be quite so in-your-face as the white, yet would be enough of a contrast to be noticeable. It would also go well with a tan interior while not looking like a fast food restaurant. You would have to work with a painter to get swatches to find the right shade, but it would be worth in IMHO, and you would have something unique.

Though, between silver and white, I would go with white. It looks cleaner and the metallic silver can make the red look a bit flat in comparison (if there is a high metallic content to the silver).

Look at TacoBill's car for red/white stripes.

 

Maybe they have a mat red in the same color. I'm a big fan of mat black my self. Show some pics after the install. Cant wait to see it.

 

well, personally, ever since the gt500s came out, i wouldn't put double stripes on my car's hood. if i had a red car, i would maybe do a partial black-out. something like this:


if i had to choose between silver or white stripes, however, i would go silver. it is less common.

 

Silver looks awesome but I like the white stripes that TacoBill has too. Your call~

 

Mineral Grey stripes on red could look pretty good...

I'm really not a big fan of silver, so white it is

 

You can't go wrong with white or silver, but I actually like gold on red too -

Something else to consider:

Here is Sixty-Six's car, Redfire with gold. I like this combo.

White

 

I like white the best.

 

silver and or a shade of grey seem to look best IMO.

 

always match metallic paint with metallic stripes and plain gloss paint with plain gloss stripes. It just looks better that way. If you want to go metallic striped on normal gloss paint, pick something with less deep luster. Something along the lines of Satin Silver as opposed to something like Vapor or Tungsten which are very shiny, metallic paints. If theres too much of a difference, it just won't look right.
