all the chrome will be flat black and the wheels are black with a chrome lip. along with a black tail light panel..

My personal opinion is the correct 69 stripe (hockey stick) .... I think it still works with the wheels and so forth and I think it really looks good on the newer cars also. I think that is the stripe I am gonna do on my Orange 69 unless I do a Yenko stripe . Very nice looking car by the way..!!!

thanks. the paint was literally still wet!

i was also looking at the grandsport style stripes but i dont want to get shunned!

The Grand sport stripes look very good also. I bet you could get someone to photoshop the picture you have posted several different ways to really see what it would look like. I think the chrome lipped black wheel looks 100% better than all black also. We put a black rim with a polished ring on our black Tahoe and it looks killer. Are you doing body color bumpers ? How about spoilers ?

yeah i have a pic of the wheels in the build thread. the bumpers are smoothed and are the color of the body as well. i modified the rear spoiler to be adjustable and it will be body color on top and flat black on the rear (i think) with flat black struts

I am not sure what you should do on your 69 but you could not have used a cooler example to show it. :cool:

what can i say? cant argue with perfection!

i found it on a red 69..

is this the "dx1"? stripe

Yes that is the RPO DX1 stripe (though it's hard to see the stripes running up the center of the hood, in that picture....here's one that shows it a bit better.)

Stencil kits for this stripe are available from Phoenix Graphix and Stencils & Stripes Unlimited, among others.

thanks. i was also looking way outside the box at stuff like they use on the saleen mustangs and stuff. just something inspired and somewhat original. i wish i had some photoshop skills..

hockey or bumblebee

Yea that's the DX1 stripe. That's Nineball's Hugger Orange SS350 car.

the hockey stripes are always sweet. just my .02
the nose stripe does look good, just always been a fan of the hockey stripe

Love the nose stripe -- but I'd eliminate it going up onto the hood... just a nice simple band (like the one shown) on the nose.

You and everyone here are making great cases for hiring designers. It's not cheap for a good one but it's a lot cheaper than a lame paint job you regret putting on.

I like the hockey on the 69 camaro. Its been my favorit since I was a kid. Each to their own though.

I vote for the DX1 stripe, not seen very often
