so far it cost me 305.28. that includes all the sand paper, masking material, paint, sealer, primer, cleaner,tack cloths, box of gloves, paint booth rental, EVERYTHING.

THE COOL PART IS I LEARNED SOMETHING, SAVED MONEY AND HAVE HALF A GALLON OF PAINT LEFT TO PAINT ANYTHING ELSE I NEED.

Do some accents in your interior and do some fuel rail covers

I'm almost thinking the white stripes would look best. The black might be too much of a contrast...but I dunno. You should photoshop both colors on there, post them...THEN see what people say looks best. But I'm gonna way white though.

From what I can tell looks like a nice paint job. As far as the stripes go I would go with a pearl white maybe to match your paint. If I added stripes at all, I dont know, I would definately photoshop it first.
