Default New addition to Mustang!

The 'Stang needed some stripes, but not the stuff found on all the others.

Comments appreciated.

Look in the 'Pony Stripes' album!

John H,

Just my opinion. The workmanship looks first rate... nice job!
However, I think the yellow paint clashes badly with the red/white/blue
colors. I think the stripes would look my better with a very fine
black outline on a red/white/blue car. Again, just my opinion.

I have to agree with Patrick.
Something that was in more complimentary color sequence would be more my own
taste.
BUT

if you like it, then that's all that matters.

Friendly opinion of a graphics designer: The colors clash.

Yes, something like a black, charcoal, and lighter charcoal may have looked
better. But then the patriotic theme would be missing.

I was worried about that until I saw it on the car. Once I did I loved it. But,
we all have different tastes, thank God!

Yup. That's what sets off the colors!

I'll run it this way a while and see how I feel in a few months. The designer
also suggest trying a black, charcoal, and lighter charcoal (shades of gray?).
If I get tired of these colors, I'll go back to his house and see what the other
colors would look like.

He did it for $100, so it's not a fortune!

Cool. Thanks for not taking offense!
FYI "clash" and "sets off" are [to me] very different things.
Like using one color to "set off" another color is a wonderful strategy.
We *could* say this is a subjective thing but actually, there is a fairly
simple set of "rules" when dealing with colors.
Here is a very short/easy article on color combining you may find useful for
the future if you choose to do any more color customizing on your badass new
stang. NICE car, btw! I'm sooo drooling over the new ones!
