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?
My car in paint:
I like this one, wondering how the black would look on savannah beige:

I am a little more partial to prairie beige myself, although I am painting my Bus Bamboo (more on the yellow side of beige).
Prairie beige.
in different light.
That's my $.02 .

Thanks for the correction. I used to be a nice guy, then I ruined it by exposing myself to the public. |

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