I thought about trying to have the Viper blue mixed but lightened a shade or two but that paint isn't exactly cheap so I'm trying figure it out with Brian's help, and everybody else here too. Problem with pearling the stripe, is the Viper blue is already a pearl so I don't think that will work. I also thought about doing the stripe in Viper blue with a satin or even flat finish, but I'm shooting base/clear and I don't think a satin or flat with a clear would have the same effect.
I really dig the Marathon and Electric Blues, just really torn about which to go with. The more I look at the Electric blue, the more it grows on me but I'm not sure it's the right shade.
