Ordered my Imperial Blue 2SS/RS last week. I will be painting on stripes as soon as it arrives. Wondering what would look better, pearl white with a hint of blue in the clearcoat or a metallic silver under clearcoat for the stripes. Whatdaya think?

I agree, a Pearl White would look awesome, but beware there is a tinge of tan in White Diamond Tricoat. Might be a nice complement with a Beige interior, but I'd need to see it first on a car. Have your body shop paint a piece of sheet metal and look at it next to another IBM before you decide. Just the same, you might want to go with a more mainstream Pearl White just to be safe if you go that route. I have SIM stripes on my Aqua Blue and it looks AWESOME! Sure they would look great on IBM too.

I have silver, but when I paint I plan on painting them white.
