Stripes

[Sheck44]

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

Satin black!

what wheels and finish on them?

[Sheck44]

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
Steve

I like the more subtle look. I saw a wrx rally blue with Nissan Silverstone stripes that was awesome. As others have said silvers or grays compliment those types of blues very well without slapping you in the face. (Like my white on lmb, lol)

I agree.. using vinyl to play with different color is not a bad idea. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with the color scheme!
