Help with Painted Stripes
I recently struck a truck tire tread that was laying in the road. It tore the driver's side corner of the spoiler and flipped up and put a dent where the fender and front panel meet. Something flipped up and tore my vinyl stripe putting a couple of deep scratches in the hood. I went to a reputable shop and was told that it would be cheaper to replace the fascia and that the entire front end of the vehicle except will have to be repainted.
This might be a blessing in disguise. The front spoiler was chipping already and I really want painted stripes. So I am planning on having stripes painted on. I have seen Camaros that used different colors for the stripes and am thinking of going this route. I really like how clean these stripes look. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97040 First my camaro is Red Jewel tintcoat. I currently have black high gloss rally stripes. I intend to stay with the stock size stripes. I prefer dark color stripes. No Dr Pepper can, thanks. Paint shop suggested a black with some of the same metal flake found in the RJT. I am also considering 2 different grays. Cyber gray metallic or a darker gunmetal metallic color. Thought is darker center with lighter pin stripe to accent the stripe or vice versa. Any thoughts on color combos? I'm going for a subtle and clean finish. If anyone has pictures of painted stripes I would appreciate it. I remember seeing an IOM with pearl stripes but haven't been able to find it. Too many hours looking through old threads. Thanks for the help. |

I would go with gunmetal metallic color. It would be different!

I was thinking of that, gun metal metallic center stripe with either black or cyber gray outer pinstripe. Black is a safe color. Trim is all black and tinted windows. I am going to debadge the car and install the heritage grill as well. I intend to put a wheel like this on in the future.

I went with CGM on my painted stripes, really not actually CGM, ut the painter picked out a "House of Colors" Metallic grey and it looks great, as soon as I get it out of the shop I can post some pics., but he grey really looks good on RJT

On our CGM Gary shot a mixture of blue and silver metalflakes (pearlescent)over gloss black that picked up the blue in the CGM and silver gives some sparkle. We did "Dr. Pepperize" ours by outlining in red, but I think it really looks good, I'll bump my build thread in this section to make it easier to find if you want to take a look. I'd shoot a light metal flake (probably silver) over the gloss back. Good luck.

That would be great! I am horrible at picturing things in my head. My painter is saying that painted CGM or Gunmetal with extra metallic flake will pop a lot more than vinyl.

When I referred to Dr. Pepper, I meant the RJT on white or light silver which to me looks like the color combo from a soda can. |

I like Dr Pepper. I've seen RJT cars with every color stripe in person, and the ones with white stripes look the most sporty and interesting. But, if you want dark I'd recommend the new metallic black that Dodge is using on their new fullsize trucks. Looks very nice up close, it isn't super metallic. Very subtle metallic black. Stop by a Dodge dealership and check it out in person.
