I'm painting my car savannah beige, and thinking of going german-look with black door handles, trim, bumpers, headlight trim rings.

My 14 year old daughter claims it won't look good. Anybody have an opinion?

I am a little more partial to prairie beige myself, although I am painting my Bus Bamboo (more on the yellow side of beige).

Agreed. Even if you use gloss black, it's still going to look like a military theme.

(Maybe you're OK with that?)
