I took my SIM 2LT/RS to the paint shop today to get some custom painted stripes put on. Being that I have always loved the Silver/Burgundy color scheme that was used on the Shelby Series 1. I thought I would keep the stock Camaro colors and I am going with Red Jewel Tint coat for the stripes. The only real hard decision was what type of stripes to get, I decided to go with the stock OEM stripes and a modified spoiler, my brother wanted to go with the Bumble Bee style rallies but I just don't think BB stripes look good on a LT. I am getting a extraordinary deal on the stripes as he is only charging $900 for the entire setup that will take roughly five days. It is being broke down like this:
Day 1: Layout stripes (Thanks to Embalmer for his roof shot of his car)
Day 2: Two Coats of Red Jewel Tint coat will be applied
Day 3: One coat of clear will be put on and wet sanded
Day 4: Second Coat of Clear will be sprayed
Day 5: Complete Car Buff and Polish
The guy that will be doing the work is Mitch Diamond. Some might have seen his work at SEMA or some of the Truck magazine. Here are some links of his work.

Anyway I thought I would show some picks of Day 1, and will be back tomorrow with day two picks:
