Well, my car's paint started falling off several months ago. Summer's coming so I'm planning to totally repaint it.
What do you guys think about painting on some racing stripes?
I´d like to keep the same color and was thinking of just a wide stripe along the top of the car.
I remember seeing a picture of a white 94-95 bird with a blue racing stripe and chrome wheels. It looked awesome.
Any pics and opinions will be greatly appreciated.
not a big fan of the stripes either but wow THNDRN 1 those stripes actually look decent, how bout sum more pics of the whole car??? to give us an idea???
THNDRN 1: Your car's paint when you only had tint and exhaust tips was like mine is now, and it gets worse everyday. I'm really dissapointed with Ford's paint quality.
That's a very nice ride you have there. Great looking stripes!!!
I'm also considering shaving the emblems on the tailights and while at the shop, shave the Ford emblem also.
If you put racing stripes on just put them on the hood and trunk lid only. I think it is too much when the strips continue over the roof. Just my opinion though
am i the only one that has never heard of "ghost stripes" before? is it the same color paint but with fine aluminum in it to make it reflective? how does one find/make "ghost" paint?
i'm repainting my 93 to a slightly sparkly gunmetal gray... maybe slightly darker gray ghost stripes would accent it well... just a thought.
To get my stripes I mixed a shade of PPG blue pearl in the clear coat, sprayed on the stripes over the black basecoat with the blue and then clear coated everything. I think gunmetal gray slightly darker gray ghost stripes would look real good and accent it well! But that is of coarse just my opinion.
Those bleach sprayers are fun as all get out. I love mine! :thumbsup: I was thinking about putting a racing stripe (sorta) on my car too, basically just painting the top of my hood scoop silver as opposed to the black the rest of the car will be, but I can't decide whether or not it'd be tacky. Sometimes I'll think it'll look good, then sometimes I think it's the ugliest idea I've ever had. So I'll probably leave em off, since I'm not sure about them...
Some cars look good with stripes but I don't think a bird is one of them. Makes you look like a kid. The hard part about fixing up your car is when to say thats it. But thats me.
