My 72 chevelle is ready for stripes. Color is bahama blue metallic. I was ready for white stripes, but considering black as well. Any one have some pics of similar car colors to sway my vote?

Black stripes w/ black interior. I think the white stripes would contrast with your interior.
IMO ;)

Its been done both ways no matter what color interior from the time they were built until now. Black on black with white stripes, Burgundy, black int. w white stripes, etc.

Your call. Contrast is not necessarily a bad thing. The other thing to consider is wear. White will not show dirt as bad, scratches, swirl marks, webbing, knicks, scrapes, etc. whereas it will really stand out on a dark car w/ black sripes (as I have black stripes, BTDT)

Personally, I like white stripes on darker cars w/ black interior as it breaks things up a little but people think im weird so take it with a grain of salt.

yeah i like the contrast white offers, but black would look mean.
