Question Metallic Stripes?

Hello all,

Well, the time has FINALLY come to paint my car. My painter came up with a metallic blue that is perfect. It is a variation of a Mercedes blue except it is darker with more metal. I want him to use Ford Performance White for the rally stripes. He then asked me if I wanted the white to be metallic. Therein lies the problem. I honestly don't have a clue. Will the white look dull without the metal, or too gaudy with it? What are your opinions and what have you learned with your projects when it came down to deciding whether to use metallic paint for the stripes or no.
Thanks,
steve
