Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
HI there i am gonna be painting my camaro this summer metallic silver it has a ss hood and i was thinking of putting some stripes from the bottom chin to the end of the rear bumper black and painting the headelight buckets black like the iroc's. What do you guys think or can you give me an idea of a different way i could do some stripes on it.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
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.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss 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.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
Yeah, but the Heritage stripes ended on the hood.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
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!

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
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.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
not to rain on your parade or anything, but i dont like the stripe on the bumbers at all, i think it looks kinda ridiculous, but hey its your car not mine, if it were me tho id either go with the 30th anniversary style or i really like the single stripe idea

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
Forget the stripes...keep it clean and paint the headlight buckets.
Have a look at Kandied's car.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
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.

Re: Stripes or no stripes on a ss hood
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.
