Looks like somebody held it by the back bumper and dipped it in white paint, then left it to dry standing on the back bumper. In short, the stripe is way too heavy but it can be saved. Combine that stripe with elements from 67 and 68 stripes and you'll be ok, like outlining it with a this stripe and leaving color on the leading edge and valance of the car.

If you're building a custom car, you should also consider a custom blend of Hugger Orange instead of the muddy brown original color. No offense to anyone running Hugger Orange but hold a chip next to a House of Kolors orange and it looks like pumpkin pie filling. Take a look at the modern version of the color on the Camaro convertible concept car that was in all the magazines a couple months ago and you'll get the picture. Then, make the stripe bright silver or pearl white and you'll have something unique.

And when in doubt, hire a professional designer. Not a shameless plug, but friendly professional advice for the many people with a similar dilemma. Our services are way cheaper than an un-pleasing paint job. I would rather have you hire my biggest competition, (who I'm probably friends with anyways) then paint it and regret it or debut an ugly car on another thread here.

You wouldn't build your dream home without blueprints, would you?
