Re: Put stripes on the car...

The fender ID stripes started back on the Cobras in the 60's, so the crews could ID the same color team cars as they entered the pits at speed. Thus, they were usually brightly colored. Dayglo colored front spoilers and headlight covers were popular .......to differentiate team cars in IMSA and Trans Am races......mirrors too.
My predominately black or dark blue race cars usually had a dayglo orange front spoiler and mirrors. Very helpful at Sebring and Daytona. The Penske Camaros always had dayglo colored front spoilers too.
That said, I like the fender hash marks on ZO6 fenders....Just like the original Grand Sport Corvette racers. Corvettes have earned their stripes !!

Stripes are a very hard thing to evaluate prior to the actual implementation on the car. But if you are looking for a not loud stripe on your car the flat color is a good way to go. A Dark flat silver may also work well on black and the grey tone metallic etc. On yellow a flat black or a flat white would work, even flat light silver.

My suggestion is to always do vinyl and go to paint after that.
