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.

 

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...

 

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.

 

I like the heritage style would it look nice from bumper to bumper though or no. Do you know how to do photoshop

 

Yeah, but the Heritage stripes ended on the 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.

Love stripes but I'm partial.

 

You think you could photoshop the black camaro with the heritage stripes but starting from the front bumper please if you have time.

 

What you mean that you are partial

 

He means he likes stripes, because has one. Look at his sig pic & you can see his Camaro.

 

Oh i understand now

 

I'm decent with PS, but adding the stripes & having them conform to the contours on the nose, is a bit beyond me, to make look right.

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!

 

I just want to know if it would look good i dont care if it don't come out good if you have some time can you please PS for me. Also i was wondering to the 25th stripes go down to the rear bumper or not

 

they stop @ the spoiler

 

if you print you could draw the stripes

 

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.

 

Yea i was thinking of painting the scoop black too only and the rest silver

 

Did you draw that if you did could you add a ss hood on it for i could paint it and see how it would look best

 

how does this look?.....

 

That looks cool.

I say do them like that pic or like the 97 30th Anv camaro SS

 

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

 

Full body stripes look ridiculous. Stick with heritage style stripes.

 

Forget the stripes...keep it clean and paint the headlight buckets.

Have a look at Kandied's car.

I've always wondered what a third gen would look like with this color/stripe combo





(Sorry it's a ford!!)

 

for posting a ford on this site lol jk..

 

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.

 

Do any of you guys know how to photoshop for you could photoshop me this car but in silver http://www.gmhightechperformance.com.../photo_01.html i would pick the same color but I am wanting to have a different look from everyone else

 

TGO has a specific forum for Photoshop requests. I suggest asking there.

 

I put a post right there but no one has replied to it

 

That would look better in matte black with a big super charger hanging out the top of it with some headers poking out the side.

Although I'd never considered it, I bet dark metallic blue heritage stripes on a white car would look amazing. makes me wish I didnt have my cowl...

 

I think stripes look better on cowl hoods though from what i seeing

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

I think the single stripe is more of a Firebird thing. This pic makes me wanna put a single stripe on my white GTA.

 

I am gonna paint it like this but with ss hood

I was also thinking of getting the scoop black and the headlight buckets

 

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.

 

I just wanna tell JMR thank you for the outlines, i printed the one with the ss hood and I now have figured out exactly what Im going to do with mine, after I get everything painted within the next month Ill post pics, Im doing atomic orange with the black stripes

 

I have a white RS with red stripes and I considered getting the SS hood - I was going to stripe it like this.

 

This is what Im planning on doing with mine, and yes i did color inside the lines, im just that good. LOL

 

check out my album , i have the 25th ann stripes !

 

cars Fin ugly !

 

 

dude this car is sick. im about to repaint my car and really like this.. whats the color code??

 

Someone did a photochop of my car and added the SS hood.

 

I just got my car primed yesterday! Found some minor flaws, cant seem to get all the imperfections out of my hood though. Got a lot of wet sanding to do and still have to prime my ground effects and hatch but its comin along. I have to get the car painted and ruinning by May. So sometime next month Ill post pics of it finished

 

mine is in my sig
