Black and White Stripes

I am repainting my camaro this summer and I have a paint job in my head but am wondering if anyone has done it and could send me some pics. I am looking for gloss black with white racing stripes. It sounds common but I have searched for months and have found very few. If I could get a few more pics It would help me make my decision. Or I am open to other suggestions of course. Thanks all, you guys are great!!

Hmm...I dunno how I feel about black and white. I think all the black cars I've seen with stripes were silver. I guess I gotta take a peek at white on black too. I really like blue with white, and red with white, or white with black, or white with blue, etc. But black and white stripes, hm, I dunno.

I like white w/ black better but I have a "slightly" biased opinion!

I think Black w/ white stripes is very nice. I have no issues with that at all.

However, why not consider doing an American Racing Team - International Colors - of White with the Blue stripes?

I love that. You don't see them that often anymore.

Hey, thanks for the compliment and the link to my site as well!
I guess I really should get around to updating it though...

Thanks, for the kind words in my guestbook as well, 83Z28BlackBetty. I'm glad to hear that your also going with black and white. It will definately turn heads.

Unfortunately the car has been down for nearly two months. The transmission is shot. However, since I now have recieved all the parts for the rebuild, it should hopefully be up and running again by the end of next week. The interior is coming along at a slow but steady pace. I just finished sanding down some aluminum gauge overlays and I recieved a very special part yesterday via fedex. It's going to take some time and effort but I can say pretty confidently that no one has this in a thirdgen camaro or bird. Later, Josh...

Well thanks for all your help out there in Camaro Land. As summer approaches I am getting more and more anxious.
