Has anyone painted their arches/skirts white?

I am sick of having my checkerboard roof, yes I know, it's crazy, so I am looking for something new to do. I am taking the checkerboard off as we speak, and I might do some white offset stripes on the bonnet/boot.

I was also thinking of doing (either paint or vinyl) the black arches white.........can anyone find any pics of this?? I've been searching with no luck. With my white roof I think it might look good?? What does everyone think?
Thnx
Karen

I have seen a couple red cars with white trim and arches and personally I dont like it. Too bling bling for me.

Undecided

Well.. I am really undecided. That red one looks so great though, Blake. They obviously spent big $ on having a professional do it. Since my husband and I want to do something ourselves, we probably won't even try it. We'd either screw up all the arches and skirts, or it'd look like a crappy job.
A sign shop near here actually covers them in vinyl. Hard to say if it would look as good though, and they want a lot of money just to stick it on. I'd really have to see it in person to decide on that one.
Anyway...we'll see what happens! We just put on clear tail lights and clear side bumper lights. Also, a smaller chrome antenna and ordered a chrome kit for all the interior dash.
