Default To Decal or Not To Decal That is the Question

Been pondering this thought for a while and seen some good ones around my area, tho the cars are mainly blue.

I have decided that I want it doing and just cant decide on colour

Colour of my car is red and I have wittled it down to either of
Blue (I have blue mudflaps so this maybe end up a bit to much blue)
Black ???
White - this is the one I am leaning towards but would apreciate some good feedback from people please.

Neither of the above.

Blue on red is a complete no-no, and white would just be too IN-YER-FACE

Silver with an anthracite or dark red shadow would be the more subtle, but if you're after something a little more attention-grabbing then go for a yellow

Hi. I did a blue one not so long ago, he went for silver with dark red drop shadow and that looked good


Cheers

Smurf, I may have some piccies of a mica red one if it's any help?

Also, did a red one for Scoobyclinic a week or two ago, that was silver / black, but it was the Sarrazin design. Dunno if it's any use?
