Default Pinstripes in January! Color Advice?

Here's my Pale Adobe Metallic truck


There will be 2 separate stripes.
I want something that will "pop" a bit.
So far I've come up with;
black/lime green
dark green/lime green
chestnut (golden brown?)/yellow

I want to do orange but i don't think it will work...
Laurel suggested rust/yellow

My Dad's black truck is done with a lavender or violet with lime green and it looks really nice.

Any thoughts? Pictures?

I would save your money and do something in your bed. Looks naked back there.

Ok, so who is Laurel (any relation to Hardy??) Are you thinking a real thin pinstripe or something a little wider?

Laurel is my Gal and we do plenty in the bed lol
Stripes will be about 1/8" with 1/2" separation - maybe.
I like the black/red idea!
Thanks - any more?

My '11 sc is white and I put a small double line silver on it. I think red/black would look good. (sounds like you and Laurel should have got the long bed lol)

Any of those are pretty good colors. In the end they will all look good you just have to visualize what you think will be better. I think just black would look good but it needs more than that in my opinion. I like mine on my truck but I wish I would have done something brighter. Here is what I did to mine. If you can't see it that great I can send other pics later.
