Hope the owner, whoever it may be, doesn't mind me using their pic but if I were to put stripes on my car with the ss hood I would do it this way...heritage style...

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood

Not very long ago, we were doing Photoshops for stripes on a SS hood.

He decided to go with a single stripe and the hood end was.....


I think that would look best with it stopping at the rear wing or spoiler, like the factory stripes did, not going on down the rear bumper.

Yeah, but the Heritage stripes ended on the hood.

Are you thinking of something like these?



Before my wife painted the 90 (yellow stripes), I played with several variations for her before I knew anything about how to use Photoshop, this album shows the ideas I went through.

I'm decent with PS, but adding the stripes & having them conform to the contours on the nose, is a bit beyond me, to make look right.

TGO has a whole forum for PS requests, that you might find someone there, that can do it & do it good.

Not saying I WON'T, but it won't be real pretty either!

I don't know if this will help you, but I have a similar hood on my silverado that is painted two-tone. Just to let you know what this paint style might look like on your camaro.

Forget the stripes...keep it clean and paint the headlight buckets.

Have a look at Kandied's car.

I think a pearl white 92 with metal flake dark blue heritage stripes would look beautiful with a bowtie grill (blue bowtie), 5" hawks spoiler. Black headlight pockets. and some black ronals.......sorry, just fantasizing.

That would look better in matte black with a big super charger hanging out the top of it with some headers poking out the side.

Although I'd never considered it, I bet dark metallic blue heritage stripes on a white car would look amazing. makes me wish I didnt have my cowl...

True, the thirdgen hood is HUGE and flat (for the most part), it does need a little somethin somethin to set it off and make stripes pop. Thats why when I had my Heritage stripes painted back on to my Heritage RS I threw some Z28 blisters on there.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood

Alot of people have dual stripes. Not too many have single. I know alot don't like the stripe all the way thru but if done properly it can look good. I think mine came out well. Maybe do a single but don't take it to the bottom. Have the painter paint it but not clear it in case you want to extend it.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood

One more thing. If you do stripes put the pin stripe also. Looks 100% better. Not like the gold one or the other blue and white one. More like mine or the black and red one.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood

I think the single stripe is more of a Firebird thing. This pic makes me wanna put a single stripe on my white GTA.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood

If they are done right, they look good....but the HAVE to flow with the scoop. I've seen some that are just straight through the scoop....and it takes away from the SS hood all together. If they follow the lines of the scoop....similar to the black/red picture...it looks pretty good.

Got a lot of wet sanding to do and still have to prime my ground effects and hatch but its comin along. I have to get the car painted and ruinning by May. So sometime next month Ill post pics of it finished
