Good complimentary color?????????

What color would compliment Cayenne Red Metallic not only under the hood but also if i wanted to get stripes on my car. I am thinking that black is the only good color to get but am not sure. Any sugesstions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have (had) the same color...it's not far off from a candy apple red. I'm having basically the same color with a pearl coat on my car right now. Black parts looks good...real good. Under the hood...you can go wrong with black and chrome. HOWEVER, being as it's an offshoot of red...getting anodized (billet) metal parts in red looks awesome. What's funny is...under the hood, the cayanne paint tends to lein more to a maroon than it does on the outside...I dunno if this is because of heat or what...but it honestly does. If you haven't realized this yet...go pop your hood. You'll see what I mean. (on second though...maybe mine was just dirty! )

I think silver would look the best. I've seen one with silver stripes before and it looked awesome.

Ya know...white wouldn't look that bad either. It'd give the colors a LOT of contrast. Dunno if that's what your lookin for though. Just a though.
