Ok guys, I need some input here. The 69' SS/RS is in the shop now undergoing the body work and will be painted next month in French Racing blue ...

I am having a VERY hard time deciding on stripes. I want to go with something non-original as far as design, in either white, gloss black or satin black ... I've looked at a thousand pictures and still cannot decide. So was wondering what you guys thought ??

Oh, and the car has the 2" cowl hood

Thanks in advance
Steve

what wheels and finish on them?

Satin black is high on the list (top pick right now)

Wheels are polished Rushforth Livewires ...

Keeping a bunch of the chrome bits on the outside ... rear bumper, mirrors, window moldings

Thanks
Steve

What about a Gunmetal grey with a 1/16" accent pinstripe in (red, Orange, green...ect) to separate the colors ? That's my game plan on a Lexus Ultrasonic blue color.

I would find someone to spray carbonfiber look stripes on it. To me black would look like a Ford Boss theme.

Ya, thats where things get soooo confusing. I want to do something different but still not go too crazy. The blue is very intense, so i think I have to be very careful on choice of stripe(s)

Above a few ideas from Mr. J Rushforth ... Just wanted you guys to chime in with your thoughts

Thanks

What about graphic stripes? I'm thinking checkered flag or stripes that fade into floating cubes. Tough decision for sure. I think you've chosen a good base color though.

One thing to consider possibly is using vinyl to try out some designs and options before committing to paint. Sure, you'd have to redo some of the paint to add the stripes in permanently but it might be an option for you.

Good luck!

Exactly what I've been thinking lately... Choosing the base color was easy, this is by FAR the hardest decision I have to make on the car. Choosing wheels was the 2nd hardest decision
