White always makes a nice accent color with the blue. You might try to find a third color for small accents, just a thought.

Best of luck!

White, silver, black, yellow. They are all good accent colors for blue.

Blue/white is always a nice combo, but it has been done alot. There's one around here the color of yours with a kinda tribal-flamed rams head down the side in a sort of aqua color (close to the factory neon aqua but a little bluer), looks real nice. Makes me kinda wish mine was a dodge so I could do a ram's head deal.
I too, am trying to come up with some sort of scheme for mine. I'd thought about the R/T stripes, which do look good on a white car, but it just wouldn't be right on a Plymouth. So now I'm thinking of some variation of the AAR 'Cuda side stripes or the '64-'66 Formula S racing stripe (one wide stripe with two narrow stripes on either side). Any Thoughts?

white is a good color choice. I just painted my neon last year. I went with silver as the base coat and the put blue graphics with a little white accent. I really love it. The paint job could have been better but everytime i drive by people look like crazy!

I have an 04 that is that blue. Once I get a few bucks, my accent color I will use is grey, or silver, but not shiny silver. A dull silver. I wisk they made parts that were alike the brushed nickel. That would look cool with the blue.

I've always thought that white and blue go together pretty nice. My car is white and had blue pinstripes down the sides when I got it, and now I've put blue graphics down the sides, a big blue dragon on the hood along with 2 smaller black dragons, as well as turned all 4 front turn signals blue, and I have an afterburner that lights up with blue lights inside of it as well. Also, I have a plug-in air freshener that turns blue when you plug it into the cigarette lighter outlet, going to put the 12" bulb of blue neon I have under the driver's side of the dash, and I converted the dome light to blue as well. Looks really nice in my opinion.

When I got it:



Now:



For the record, those hubcaps are gone now. Just running stock steelies.

When I go back home for the summer in May, I will get some night time pictures to show off all of the lighting.

I think a lot of stickers and graphics are retarded and it makes you like a ricer. White, silver and black would be good. But don't go over board. No green, no yellow. Don't mix more than two colors. Paints jobs are better than graphics (stickers, vinyls).

Sometimes too much will be too ugly....
