Paint "am i making a big mistake"

For what it's worth; Stick with what you like--in this case Porsche Indian Red. Or some other factory color. When yer paint gets F'd up by some idiot, you'll have no problem repairing it. Candies are a pain in the ***, which you should be learning.

Whatever stripe you do, paint it. It looks better--and feels better--'specially after you put gobs of clear over everything!
