ok, all along i have been wanting it dark grey (2005 dark shadow grey from ford, code CX) and I wanted the wheels to match the stripe and tailpan all being a darker grey. i got some paint samples and it doesnt look as good as i thought it would. frank suggested i go with a lighter, more silver grey for the stripe. the wheels are very close in color to the body color i picked.
what do you guys think? the picture doesn't do it justice but you get the idea.
we could tweak the body color a little to match the wheels perfectly and tone down the stripe some so there isn't too much contrast between the body/stripe.
or shoot it the way it is on the sample. i do like both colors, i just dont want the stripes to overpower the car. I should mention there wont be much chrome and no emblems. the door handles will be ring brothers polished ones.

Hey, Mark...I would have to see the whole package, but I'll tell you this--I've seen Frank's cars and my best answer would be to take Frank's advice. He's the wizard :)

Casey, I tried to make him pick and he said its my car, i have to do it. :) haha

I think deep down i know the answer but i respect the opinions here and want to hear what has to be said.
