help locating square dot fade for 90 formula

I am trying to find a source for a square dot fade for a 1990 formula that has red top accent stripe and fades from charcoal to grey.

So far I have had no luck.

it goes around the whole car. (My car looks exactly like the one you see in the thirdgen.org message boards logo at the top of the page) It seperates the two tone paint job along the entire lower portion of the car.

Try Year One/Next Generation. They should have it and if not then Phoenix Graphics.

well at this point I have tried everything. NOoooo One carries the dot fade. I have tried every suggested option including GM (discontinued).

The only possible close match that might be made is with a 86 trans am charcoal square dot fade from Phoenix Graphicx and a red accent stripe across the top.

The original, tapered at different areas,ex. the front and rear bumpers. The replacent one will not. Also, the original had all of the three colors on the stripe, red, charcoal, silver.

The replacement will only be charcoal and fade to clear and will have to pick up the silver from the paint below. Then the red accent stripe will have to be added. Also, the stripe will not taper like the original. But what is a guy suppose to do?

At this point, it looks like this is my only option.
