So I've gotten a little busy with paint and want to see what you guys think before I do this for real. I'm debating painting the inserts in my molding Turbo Coupe red. Right now they are chrome and I'm not sure if they would look better or not. compare the pics to the one in my sig and let me know.Thanks:D

You can actually get red moulding for it.If you paint it down the road you are going to have to paint it again.It looks good but I would just change the moulding.
 Thanks,

Nooooo!!! I would love to have a car that looked as good as yours.
It would look okay, but I say leave it the way it is.

nothing like that bright red works well with those color tones. If anything, find a darker/lighter/less aggressive color

On a serious note, has anyone ever painted their striping black? One colour for the molding.

I've been wondering how it would look if you painted the moldings body color. Hey, it looks good on Mustangs.
