Stripes

I thought it would be interesting to see the stripes that people are using. My painter is after me about their dimensions.I have a general idea of what I want, but some pics and dimensions would be very informative. Would light stripes on a dark car look the same as the dark stripes on the light cars? How about a pin stripe (1/2 inch) outside the main stripes? My colors are going to be the new Dark Shadow Grey from Ford, probably with some extra Pearl in it if it doesn't lightenup the color, and a new color from PPG that was concocted by some guys in Nashville I believe, called Copperhead. Its a 6 or 7 color paint that uses a lot of clear with it. I plan to use (for now) two straight stripes the width of the vent on the rear hatch with about a one inch seperation. A smily face whith these colors wouldn't look bad either. If I can find the picture, I'll post it later.
