Default racing stripes?

i have an 03 black 1500 qc with chrome front and back bumper chrome 20"s but the headlights, taillights and windows are tinted, im debating wether i want to add racing stripes or not so i fiqured i would turn to you guys, im thinking silver to connect the chrome from the front and back bumpers, i was thinking white but worried it might look like a skunk, or a matte black to have them there but kinda contrast

i say you should get those chrome bumpers painted black and then leave it as it is with no stripes.

but if you want to be unique, get metallic silver. that should go along nicely and make sure you do the grill too.

I voted none of the above too. I think that your best bet would be to paint the bumpers black to match the rest of your truck and call it done.

I would paint to match as well. Then if you want stripes, get someone to photo shop it for you like I did. Try different colors. BTW, I voted silver.

Good luck!!

well with the majority painting so far, how does powdercoat compare, i have a guy that will sandblast both bumpers and powdercoat them for 300$ can i get a comparable powdercoat color (i know not exact match but close enough) to match the truck
