  • Started my stripes over the weekend

    Well we got started on my stripes on my Camaro over the weekend . Took forever to lay them out . Found out that tha hood on these cars are not stamped out dimensionally even. One side is about a quarter inch shorter than other from the center line.Here are some pics up to first coat of basecoat .Click image for larger version

        we still went off of the centerline on the hood since its even to both sides of the cowl , but measurements from centerline to outer edge of hood is where we found that it is off. one side of the hood is wider than the other side.

          Nice, but why did you do it? Was it not easy being just green? ;)

            LOL ! Everything i have ever owned i have to basically put my signature on. For the amount of money it was for the vinyl kit from G.M. for the stripes i am painting them on in the color i want .Never been a big fan of waxing a car with vinyl stripes,much easier when there are no edges to worry about.Even though the stripes look factory the custom color will give it that one off appeal.

              i wanna see that color with a white stripe!! the 2 green camaro we have had they ordered with the dark silver stripes. after having issues with the vinyl stripe kits, we refuse to do them anymore. the cars are either ordered with the stripes in place or we paint them on.

                  so we finished the paintwork last night . Started with base white then added a white pearl. laid out our stencil and did 1 coat of green pearl over that . in one of these pics you can see the stencil in white over the white pearl. Sprayed the green pearl over that then took off the stencil before clearing. So in another pic the Camaro ss is very ghostlike on the hood. in the sunlight it will suddenly jump out at you when you get it in the right light.

                            laying out the rear spoiler was a big pain in the arse,but the end results i think were worth it .
