I'm not a stripes person, but my mind immediately thought a charcoal grey set of fat stripes lined on the outsides with a super thin red stripe

Iā€™m also thinking gloss black would look awesome. However, I recently saw a true blue ICE mustang with white stripes and it looked fantastic.

Classic colors for Trans-Am cars are white on blue or blue on white. That said, I was originally going to do white side stripes on my GT-PE, but looking at it in my head, all of the black on the car is pushing me toward gloss black, if I even do it. Now Iā€™m leaning toard no stripes. This may change for me yet again. SQUIRREL??? ?

Personally, I like white but matte black is also pretty. Iā€™m not much help.

Generally, dark stripes for light colors, light stripes for dark colors. In the OLD F1 days, each nation had an "Official Color", i.e., British racing green for Britain, red for Italy, silver for Germany. The United States' official color was white with blue stripes.

That should settle it then, add a dash of red (maybe brake calipers?) then and yours will be a unique car with very patriotic colors!

I'm with sotec2345. Maybe lean a little to grey/silver shades. If you have Galaxy Grey Premium interior, I'd try to match that color.
