    Greetings,
    I know there have been a lot of paint questions here, but I had an idea I wanted to run past some of you. What do you think of gloss black (metallic or non) with flat black stripes. Too subtle? Also, what type of stripes would you go with?

    Thanks for any reply.

    Oh, HELL yeah!!!

    I love flat black stripes. So does the wife.

    We plan on using them over a silver metallic paint, but over black would be cool too!

    I think a heavy metal dust in a glossy black would look great with flat stripes.

    Yeah, they add definition, and if done properly can separate body lines to help emphasise them, though on the other hand, if done wrong, it could cause you to LOOSE body lines (not neccesarily a bad thing in the case of a ranchero LOL)
