Gettin some racing stripes

[TheGreenPunisher]

Dad is an automotive painter...so he will be doing it. Hes going to paint them on, which means front bumper, hood, spoiler, and hatch lid all get repainted. The roof and mirrors are already black...so im going with black stripes starting above the license plate holder, goin up the hood...and then of course they will come down the back over the trunk lid and spoiler...and end there.

Should look good and i believe hes doing it this weekend. Best part, im only $75 in the hole for materials. Labor = free [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

hell yeah sounds good, painted stripes look so much better than vinyl. You will need to post pics up afterwards.

They will start right above the license plate holder, go up the hood through the vents...the roof is already black....then it will go down the spoiler and trunk lid...and end right above the 'Camaro', but they wont continue onto the piece that says Camaro. They will stop on the trunk lid.

And of course....i wont leave you guys hangin, ill get some pics up [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

Couldnt be happier, and good choice not going all the way up and down the front/rear bumpers, it looks much better.

Well, we freehanded the layout of the stripes...and wow. They are so badass. They will be painted on tomorrow during the day. I will post pics ASAP.
