Painted Stripes Advice on my RJT

I plan on getting stripes painted on my RJT '10 LT1 RS, after I get a new hood (either the T2 hood or the hood that has the vents to the sides of the cowl). I have been thinking of doing the stripes the same "pearl white" they use on the Escalades. I'm wondering what type of stripes my fellow board members think would look good. And since both colors are slightly more expensive what should I be looking at pricewise?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!!

Not sure what you mean by type but whatever you do, make sure they extend slightly past the hood. I would say mail slot as a marking if you had the SS, but in your case it's slightly past the hood.

Maybe Gunmetal or Pewter?

Rally stripes for sure. Something classy. RJT is a classy color. Just a thought. The white would also look good. Good Luck! Make sure to post pics when it's done!

My car is RJT also and I plan on getting the MPD Z Force hood I'd kinda like rally's but I want to keep as much of the car original as possible so I'll most likely just end up doing hood spears, black most likely or something that is limited to the hood.

That's awesome. I just need to decide on a hood... I've never really cared for stripes til I got my camaro so I really don't know the difference in them . That's why I'm asking.

dont stripe it. RJT is such a good color, dont cover it up. Black gets lost on the rjt, and white is too bright. maybe if anything, black with a silver/grey outline.

I agree about RJT, but the pearl coat in itself is a spectacular color. And, i think that the 2 together would just be a nice wow factor. Both are special color options.
