I will be painting my car over the next winter and I am debating wether or not to paint a hocket stick stripe on it. I would like to see other third gen camaros with stripes to decide. I taped one on my car just to see how it would look and i took a couple pics, i can have those up later tonight.


-All your help is greatly appreciated, thanks

 

I have seen one or two 3rd gens with them and i think they look really good depending on color combo

 

Post those pics! I think it would turn heads

 

old school

 

Can't believe know one posted this one. This is the best job ive seen at it.

 

Damn, that looks cool!

 

it looks good, the only thing i would change is the angle the stripe goes down at toward the front of the nose... it doesnt flow with the body lines, it needs to be more of a 45* angle than a 90* IMO

 

I love em the way they are..................but if I was gonna get mine painted like that I would widen the stripe near the front also. If you widen the stripe then you have to deal with your side blinker being smaller then the stripe itself.

here is a crappy photoshop.........notice I painted over the blinker cause with the wider stripe it would look like complete ***.

 

gotta say im a fan of how the car looks now, i dont really like the wider stripe.

 

here is the only picture i have of hockey stripes

 

What if the leading edge of the stick followed the body line, but the trailing edge went straight down?

 

agree

 

thanks for all the input guys. my friend cant find the chord for his camera so he hasnt got the pics up yet, but they will be up asap. just for future reference the stripe will be done in gloss black with dark gray outline.

 

I'm gonna do mine in Honda silver with black outline!

 

That is a sick looking car and made me set on doing a black stripe just like that on my car when I get my new wheels powdercoated black.

 

Here's a chop I did of kandied's car. The stripes were already chopped on the car, I just changed the color.

That color is hot.

 

Damn, that car rocks!

 

Feel like chopping some onto mine, after making it all white?

 

I like the overall look of the black car, but i think our cars are too boxey for the traditional hockey stripe.

 

I don't have PS anymore. Sorry. But if I do get it back, I'll give it a try. A buddy of mine is great at PS. Send him a PM. His name is ardoller on the site. I'm sure he would help u out.

 

 

Don't every worry about using photoshop again. There is a free program out called gimp that is very similar to photoshop by freelance programmers. I know the name sounds goofy but it is totally free, no pop ups or add on, or spyware.

Here's the link
About.com: http://www.gimp.org/windows/

You will need the GTK + 2 runtime environment, and the actual GIMP program. Pass the word on. I was using photoshop trials doing all my work too. This program will read all you files you made even if you saved them in photoshops default format. I just found the program a few weeks ago and have been trying to tell people about it whenever I see them doing photoshop work.

 

sorry i took so long but i finally got the pics here they are:





please be honest and dont make fun of the ugly guy in the car.

 

i think the stripes on the car above my post look out of place. maybe its just me.

this looks awesome!

 

Honestly? I REALLY don't like it...

But it's your car, do what you like.

 

i really like that silver Z. its so oldschool!

 

once again the stripe will be done in black with a gray pinstripe border. i am currently trying to get someone to do that on the photshop board.

 

I think it's gonna look cool.....

 

here is my camaro its a 82 camaro (z28 clone) i like it: let me know what you think about it.

 

Here's mine...



kinda sorry that I did the stripe now though....seems to be too popular..

 

Dang I'm in love with this car color does anyone know what color it is.

 

I think hockey sticks look good on 3rd gens,i really like 'em on white though!So i'm a little biased since i already love white third gens,i'm sick of the heritage stripes i see on 3rds all the time.Nice '82 by the way.

 

FANTASTIC.... BEAUTIFUL....

here is mine, and check out page 15..

Here you go...mine are a one off custom set!

 

It's photoshoped. There is no temperature in the reflections, and you can see where the brush missed in the wheel-well where the car was originally red.

 

..the 90 degree hockey stripe can be made to look good when done right but doesn't match the front nose, neither would a 45 degree. Someone should look into photo shopping it from the rear instead since its flatter and it'd hug the fenders nicely. Just a thought.

..on a side note I like the way the photoshop'd gray 'maro looks with the red trimming on the wheel wells.
