No, don't do it! It works on white or black, not silver. Even then it's questionable IMO. I have the same color combo and wouldn't dare.

and if you really want to do it,I'd stay away from black and go with a thin and thinner pinstripe of a medium gray thicker stripe and a bit lighter thinner stripe under.
I know someone who does painted pinstriping and have thought about it but never had it done.
My Camry has a double pinstripe.

I should have mentioned a few vehicles inside the showroom at my dealer have pinstripes. I assume it's one way to get people to add them. I met the guy who does it and his work is very good. I'm just not a fan. The only one I did like was the starfire pearl RX with pink pinstripes benefitting the Susan G. Komen Foundation. They had to create another one because the first sold. I wouldn't mind seeing lots of them on the road

Go with a clear pinstripe so you can't see it
