Matte, Silver Metallic, White Stripes for Kona Blue GT???

I have a new kona blue 5.0. I could easily do the old shelby white on blue stripes, no doubt it would look great. I had a 66 fastback done similarly. But, I've done that. Then I was thinking maybe use a silver metallic stripe similar to my old black 05 GT. But what about boss style stripes in Silver metallic, Matte black, maybe a darker silver/grey metallic.....


As you can all see, I've very torn. Looking all over, I'm not finding many striped Kona Stangs. Would appreciate suggestions, PHOTOCHOPS, Pics, Links......

I have the retro billet grill coming from American Muscle as well as the cdc classic chin spoiler. Let the input flow.

What about a ghost/matte Kona Blue stripe? ....it's your car, but I like those subtle mods that don't pop out right away. Then you notice it and you're like..."ohhhhh, yeahhhh that looks goooood."

If it were my car and I decided to add stripes, I would go with matte Kona KR-style stripes. You could do this very easily by taping off the stripe pattern you want, wet-sanding the factory clear coat, then going over it with the Matte Hot Rod clearcoat, effectively using the same KB basecoat from the factory, but with a matte clear coat. What do you think?

On a side note, I noticed you have the Brembo Pkg. I'd also suggest a KR-style stripe in the same color as the Brembo Pkg wheels. Or, matte black KR-style stripes with a Race Red pinstripe on the outer stripes (similar to GT500PP) to bring out the red Brembo writing on the matte black calipers...just throwin some other ideas at ya!

THANKS LASER, Good ideas. I do like the matte idea. I was considering boss style stripes in Matte Black, but I'm not sure there would be any pop. But again, Thanks!!!

I think silver metallic would be a great stripe color on Kona Blue.

I think silver would go well too. I just like to do stuff that isn't seen as much. OP, I think Boss style stripes in matte Kona would look awesome too!

For a differant color Id say metallic gray (gunmetal/anthracite). Or the ghosting idea sounds cool also. Or be new and two tone it like Foose has done, looks really good on these bodies, atleast 05-09.

Yep, pewter really is THE color for Konas..looks amazing. I loved Foose two toned but I have never seen one done in person. If I had a coupe...I'd be looking to do that for sure.
