Black, The white parts of the checkered flag should be your actual paint so the decal is just the black parts. Thats how I would envision it.

I think either black, red or silver. I think red would look cool but may be a bit too much.

Definitely not going to do black. I live in Wisconsin and have seen enough black and white cows over the last 42 years to last a lifetime. Couldn't stand to see a large cow sitting in my garage.

Thinking blue or red....Thoughts?

I remember an ebay seller was selling the same style checker flag decals as the factory original ones quite a while ago. They had them in different colors, and were one solid color. They didn't have the fade effect like the factory decals. But that was a long time ago.

So you don't want black. Okay, I can see your point. Black & white isn't for everyone.

I think red checker flag on a white car might be a little hard on the eyes, and kinda tough to pull off. But to me, considering I live in Canada, I think of the Canadian flag when I see red and white like that. Or a reversed Coke can.

I'm leaning more toward blue. Blue and white would look really good. And you could do a whole blue accent color thing too.

I would definitely NOT do silver on white. In bright sunlight, silver tends to get lost on a white background. But that's just my opinion.
