    If it were ME, I'd save the black for the stripes, on the Lime car.

    I think a satin black with gloss lime accents and stripes would be neat.

    Someone has already done this on here. I just can't remember who, to get a picture. It didn't look that bad, but I'm more of a 'purist' than a satin-black, rat-rod kind of guy.:cool:

    Edit: Found picture on FB...

    That is not my idea od a good color combination looks like he couldn't afford to buy paint so he left it in primer,
    almost the same as the trend now just leave them in rust!

    i was thinking about doing black and a TINTED lime green on mine. not tinted like a darker green but tinted like almost as if you put a light shade window tint on the stripes. maybe like a tinted clear coat? something that will remain lime green but just the slight bit more desecrate. so it can flow into the black body well. it looks really good (in my head)

    I sprayed the blue. damn good job from 30 ft away lol I had some bad spots I think the paint was 180 for a gallon I was given the prime coat and the clear was 300 for a gallon. so about 500. I paid a friend to spray the clear since that was my first time spraying. I gave him 150.
