Feedback on color option

Hey all, I'm looking for some feedback on my color option. I've taken the liberty to modify a pic of my truck to be close to the color I'm looking at. Its a nice metallic copper. Some of you may have seen the color on "Project Copperhead" TruckTV's restorod of a '67 Chevy C10. What do all of you think of the copper and also, looking for opinions on the strips. Black strips, white strips, no strips, or just plain don't like the color. Thanks, any and all feedback is appreciated!

Love the Copperhead color, but I'd never put stripes on anything-----------well, maybe a ricer that belonged to some smart A$$ kid.

THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH STRIPES I LIKED, OTHER THAN
THE RALLY SPORT 69 CAMARO'S, WAS THE ONE THE DID ON THE TV SHOW
OVERHAULIN, IT WAS A SINGLE MIDDLE STRIPE ON A EL CAMENO I THINK
WITH FLAMES / DESIGNS INTERGRADED INTO IT. IT LOOKED *****IN. :p

Lose the stripes.
I just painted my 1970 SWB as close to copperhead color as possible without using the PPG paint. I went with Dupont 2001 Honda Pearl Orange Metalic. I don't have access to a camera right now to send you a finished photo, but I will next week. Here it is at the body shop.
Good luck on your truck...Kelly

I am not quite sure about stripes with a scoop. just too busy in that area. if there was no scoop I would think double white stripes with smaller ones near the edge kind of like on a '70 Chevelle SS. JMO Todd
