Default Pinstriping advice

I am looking to put a pinstripe on my white f150. I know someone who can do it but I need to know what kind and color to get that would look best. Does anyone have any advice and maybe a part number for a certain kind? Pics would be appreciated to!

Pinstriping is not hard, but you do need a steady hand and a keen eye. I have always used 3M in the past. It's been a few years though, so I don't have part numbers. If you have the standard gray interior, I would go with something like a medium metallic charcoal or a dark silver to pick up on the interior. Don't want to go too light due to your truck being white. If you have that other interior color (looks like it wants to be brown, but somehow yellow jumped into the foray), I'm not much help, other than to try and compliment that color with the color of the pinstripe you choose.

I bought a 150' roll of Sharpline barb-wire striping for $51 delivered on E-Bay.

Here is their catalog, the only problem is too many choices.

probably stating the obvious choice - but I would go with black as the color. Are you thinking a straight line on each side?
