Show your stripes!

[bugedd]

I am getting a bit ahead of myself, but this weekend I am picking up a former race car body to build on the side then swap my parts over, and my mind won't quit thinking about paint. The car has a roll bar, the loop behind the drivers seat. Can't decide if I will keep that or go with a full length roll bar which I already have. I think I decided on the metallic white that is seen on newer Lexus and some Audi's. Then I was thinking a metallic charcoal stripe with the roll bar painted to match. Now I have to figure out what kind of stripe to do. Gundy, I'd like to see a good pic of yours, from what I recall I liked it.
So everyone, show me what you have!

I'm going without stripes on my respray.
I like the wide stripes on the car now but
just wanted to have it clean and tidy for a bit.
This is the only pic I have at the office.
I'll find some rear pics when I get home this PM.

Very nice, I do like that

I would really think about the white pearle on a small car with alot of open body lines and metal fender beads. My wife wanted a white pearle on her BE and I finally have got her on Primrose Yellow

well I should be quiet now.
but white with blue cobra stripes is good or blue like the Ecurie Ecosse sprite.

Sup-Wit-Camel, I stand humbled and awed.

You sir, obviously don't mess around when it comes to stripes...

Here is the rear of the stripe.

hmmm...the original eggshell white looks good on the car,so I don't see why a metallic white, a bit brighter, would look bad??? And a silver or some other metallic strip like Gundy's would make a nice contrast. Tough to say like any paint job, hard to visualize

There is a pearl white that is to my eyes very close to Old English White - see it on Escalades - I was tempted when painting Ms Triss but didn't want that look.

I don't have a high res of the rear and now I will never have one with the new spray. :wink:
I sent a high res of the front.
