I don't know if there is enough contrast between Old English White and
Primrose to create the desired effect, tough it might be worth lookin gat.
Some mixes of OEW I've seen have had a beige tinge would would be awful with
primrose, IMO.
I don't think you'd want a separate color break line other than the chrome
strip -- that could be very kludgey looking. Two-tones invariably follow the
body accent lines, unless you're doing supergraphics like NASCAR. The
traditional A-H swoop runs off a body accent contour.
