Well, i am gearing up for my winter pant job, and have decided that i want some kind of stripe on the car. Its a light blue, and i will try to post a pic later tonight. should the stripes stop at the bottom of the hood, or go all the way down? same for the rear? Als, andy ideas for something different from just plain straight stripes? thanks in advance
eric

 

If you're going with a stripe I think that it should go all the way down.

 

Camaro? Firebird? What Year?

 

oh sorry, its an 89 Camaro RS here is a pic. its is going to be the same color, only cus you dont see to many around

 

you should do a white stripe from the bottom of the front to the bottom of the back.

 

thats what i was thinkin, but maybe a pearl white. anyone got photoshop where they could do both styles of stripes for me? one all the way down the front and one just to the bottom of the hood

 

Stop on the hood. Honestly, I think stripes that go all the way down to the bottom of the front look stupid (no offence intended to anyone who has/likes them).

 

gotta go all the way down on camaros..

 

I also think a white stripe would look good. I'm not sure about stoppin at the hood or not though, maybe people should post pics of cars that have, and dont have the stripes stop on the hood. Just so you get an idea of what you want. That's a nice shade of blue man, good idea keepin it.

 

project86, i agree, could we get some pics to compare?

 

I think stripes should only be on the hood and the rear hatch. Espically on chevys.

but anyway, i was playing around in photoshop and this is what i got...

 

all the way down imo

 

after seeing the photoshop, i like all the way down, now i just have to decide which color. i never thought of going with black or a dar charcoal like in the pic, i like it thank guys

 

All the way down is ghetto...

I wouldn't stripe it because I don't particulary like the way they look, but if you are going to do it do it right. Heritage style stripes...

 

Heritage all the way

 

Stop just before the front of the hood, and just above the rear plate at the bottom of the spoiler.

 

I beg to differ.

 

as do i......

 

With those wheels, I think a metallic silver would look great. I am a fan of stripes all the way down...

 

i like both styles, but with only going to the hood, to me it looks in complete. almost like some one swapped out the nose piece and hadnt painted it yet.

 

No way dude! Pearl white stripes?

Definitely just plain white if you do white IMO.

 

Ummm, it's how GM did it...

 

The stripe passed the hood looks a little busy
with the license plate holder ...

 

stop at the hood and just on the hatch like heritage stripes....the only way to pull off a stripe all the way down is if its like Demon355's GTA

 

i know that is how GM did it, but there is alot of things GM didnt do right (V8 in a S10 for example)

 

like it better just in the hood

 

I like it all the way down.

 

gonna do some mock ups tonight and will post later and tell me what you think

 

Leave the "all the way down" for Ford and Dodge trucks as well as on the roof. Chevy has traditionally stopped their stripes at the leading edge of the hood, trailing edge of the trunk lid and never any on the roof. I prefer Chevy's way, at least on Chevy's and leave Ford's method to the Fords....

 

that's it, i love the way the stripes on Willie's taper like that and follow the lines of the hood. Done

 

It's hard to tell on my hood pic that it's a cowl induction hood. I only have one more. This angle shows it better. The color is semi-flat black.

I don't have any with it on the car but I'm planning on taking some this weekend. I'll post some more then.

Willie

 

Just took the first pics with the hood striping. And one rear too.

Willie

 

IMHO style it after the heritage stripes.

 

Well,

 

Well, took some rattle can to the hood this weekend, and didnt come out that bad. I like the way it looks, so this winter when i repaint, it will be going in this direction

 

Pic doesn't work.

 

fixed the pic, truck in back ground is for sale (lol)
