Just got my stripes painted
Hey guys and gals,
Been lurking here for quite some time. Picked up my 2SS Sept 30th and I have to say that this forum has been a wealth of information....made the 41/2 month wait just a tad bit easier!! Made a few mods...Magnaflow axle back, Tint (5% rear 35% front),Diablo tuner, 2 12 inch subs, some minor interior additions and just recently had custom stripes painted on. Black stripes with a touch of silver pearl mixed in. Also had a razor thin red pin stripe applied where the black meets the SIM. I absolutley love how it turned out!! Really sets off the red SS badges. Not sure how the pics will turn out....I know there are alot of people banging their heads trying to figure out if the should paint their stripes or go with the decals. Hope this helps a little. Tell me what you think. Overall paint cost was around $1000. |

Very Nice... really like the Camaro put on the rear. The red pinstriping is a perfect touch... who thought of it?

My idea.....had plenty of time to make my final decision (just under 5 months). Always makes you nervous when they start flinging paint around! Thankfully I am very pleased with the results. Thanks

Great looking. I wish I had painted my strips. Most likely will a few years down the road.
