I have found using a color very close to the cars' so that its a fraction of a shade different looks quite nice when painted.

Hot rods have been doing that for a very long time. They paint flames on the car just a shade off of the actuall color. It's called ghost flames..or phantom flames or something along those lines..it does look very nice.

Ghost flames are also flames that are a very light white color or very dark color depending on car color.
