I don't have pics, but I would recommend Heritage stripes. Try a search, theres a bunch of posts like this already. Good luck.

DEVASIN!!! That car is SO BEAUTIFUL!!! What color are those stripes? They look like a ghost-silver/blue... Excellent color choice! My car will look very similar to yours, however; with a smaller cowl, standard duck-tail wing and no GFX... I think I've settled on ghosted silver stripes...

Again, beautiful car man!

Thanks for the compliment. The color is indigo pearl and it will look blueish/purple or purple depending on the way the light hits it. Here is a pic of the blueish/purple.

I was making a left turn to go down my street and a cop tried to pass me on the left.. Well needless to say I was about 1/2 through the turn, hit me and totaled the car

I saw a web site with those style of stripes and other various designs. I can't remember what the address was but maybe it is on my old computer. They also did copies of the stickers that were on the cars in thatt movie The Bi/Gay and the Currious...or something like that.

Make up the design
Scan it into Illustator
Clean up the egdes
Print it out full scale on engineering paper
Tape out the whole peice that you are working on
Lay out yer template
Cut through the tape and template
Remove template
Remove the area of tape that is going to be painted
Clean up with some paint prep stuff
Paint with color
Paint with clear (2-4 heavy coats atleast)
Remove the rest of the tape
Clean up with paint prep stuff
Spray clear the whole peice (2-4 heavy coats)
Let dry
Wet sand with 1500-2000 grit
Buff out

Stare and say, g<x>od damn that looks sweet

Hey Kat, I am really sorry to hear that your Camaro was totaled. That was one of my favorite thirdgen Camaros. It always seems that bad things happen to nice cars. I love those tribal stripes; very cool indeed. I hope you get another thirdgen and apply the same stripes.
