I just got my car back in September 2017, and the paint isn't in the best of conditions. I am planning on repainting it this summer, I will re-do the gray that is on it currently, but i wanted to add stripes. I have never seen this though, and I made a quick Photoshop mock-up of it to see how it would look.




Again, this car isn't mine, I just made this in Photoshop to see if i like it or not. Opinions?

 

IMO, it'd look fine if the stripe were a color that was more suitable to the base color. Such as black. Maybe white. I'd probably lean towards black.

 

I never cared for stripes that flowed off the hood onto the nose and spoiler.

 

Silver stripes would look better.

 

I don't like stripes.

 

The car looks decent in the pic. But I agree - and this is just personal opinion - silver would look good.
But it ultimately comes down to what you like the best, go with your gut. You are the owner and have the say. Customize it to your plan. There is no wrong choice if it's yours.

 

On Camaro's I prefer the rally style stripes that the 60's Camaro had. I like on the thirdgens when they follow the contour of the hood, here is mine for reference. Stripes on the hood, decklid and spoiler only. I think they look far too gawdy when they go over every inch of the car.

 

Preferably, no stripes.


Alternatively, black or silver. As was mentioned before, that blue doesn't go well with the base color.

 

Can often be bad advice.

Another feel good phrase that just isn't true.

 

^^^
Haha!

 

Since your asking for opinions, $h!tcan those stupid stripes. Isn't it enough that you have a rare, one year only color? Why do you have to ruin it with effed up stripes?

 

Tough love

 

Tough love multiplied

 

Only the fords run the stripes all the way down to the ground Camaros only run just past the hood or stop on the hood.

 

Damn Charlie, tell him what you really think! LOL!!!


Not a fan of the stripes either.

 

No offense to the OP, but he asked for opinions and I'm just trying to be helpful.

 

Leave the stripes off.

 

Another vote for "no stripes".

As others have mentioned, there are some stripe patterns that look good on third gens. However, the front to back/bumper to bumper ones look terrible IMO.

If you want to see what a (terrible) repaint with stripes looks like, there are a few pictures of my car floating around here. I hate the way they look. But ultimately, it's your car - have fun with it!

 

Hey, no offense taken, thats why I posted this!

 

I'm probably going to do black stripes with this pattern instead of the one i posted. Do you have pictures of the back of this car? im just wondering where all of the stripes go and end. also, I dont have T-Tops, mine has a solid top, so would the stripes follow on the roof as well? thanks Tibo, and sexy car btw

 

So, new photoshop edit, How does this look? better than the blue?

 

Looks like you lost the race so bad that the other guy peeled out across the top of your car.

 

what a description...

If you go with stripes then yes, i think black is 100% the way to go. Maybe just not exactly those ones.

 

Imo I agree with Charlie, nice looking car and one of my favorite colors on these things why take away from it. I admit tibos looks good but to me it is the hood and the color combination, reminds me of the 1st gen pace cars with the houndstooth interior. Your car in that color looks slick as is.

 

That car shouldn’t have stripes.. I don’t like stripes, but especially that color.. anything will clash and look amateur..

 

Those are better but not a fan.


Go with the factory style grey with the blue rocker stripe.

 

Yup

 

Yes, better.

 

The car is a convertible but even with a hardtop you only run the stripes on the hood and trunk lid. Keep em off the bumpers.

 

The black stripes are way better, but hardly noticeably with the hood louvers. I'd leave it gray but ultimately its your decision.

 

its yore car if you like it do it dont mater whot anybody else thinks !
