Getting ready for new paint

So I'm about to put on my new paint job. The body work is almost finished and then it will be time for paint. I am still tossing ideas around in my head about how to paint this thing. The base color will be black because I don't want to go through a color change
I'm sorry for those guys who can't stand the look of a non "original" paint job but I need something that will separate me from every other car on the road.
My first plan was to go black with white rally stripes, and still my paint job of choice. But because its getting painted by me I can really do anything I want.
Here's an idea, I thought about going black with silver metalic "ghost rally stripes"
Any help on this would be great.

rally stripes like the heritage edition rs's had would be nice but it would be cool to have like a candy blue over the black, something that would be nearly invisible, unless you got up close to the car, and if it's your first time painting a car it would be difficult to see any flaws from the stripes
