I found the orginal painter of the stripes and custom colored cars and verified it with Andy "Electron Blue" McCall.I am going to have these done by him because I want the exact original stripes and quality of workmanship, only problem is it's a 5 day process and about 1 1/2 away! [Eek!]

Alpine White or Sebring Silver [Confused]
That will be a tough one!

Go with teh Sebring Silver since it has the metallic in it and will really shine! I was so close to getting stripes for my SS when I had it, but never followed through with it (money problem). It's gonna look awesome!!! Defintiely show pics then!! [Cool]

Great idea, ...tough decision on the color, both would look great.
This is something that I've thought about for a while, ...too bad I'm 12 hours away from MI., it would be awsome to have the same shop that originally did them. [Cool]

Now Pewter might look better than silver [Cool]

It would not stand out as much BUT would make people take a second look.

Bob, I don't know if this will help but here are pictures of a NBM Berger SS with silver stripes and a NBM Berger SS with white stripes.Maybe you could photoshop the car to make it black. [Smile]

Or - in my youth a friend had a '69 Mustang
Boss 302. It was black with clear stripes that
had a gold fleck in it. The stripes were very
subtle, until the sun or headlights hit at
the right angle, then it was awesome!

Just a thought!

Bob, I would go with the silver stripes. Makes it sudtle looking. You know I like silver stripes. Your getting them painted instead of decals like mine? Whatever you get,I know they will look great.

Here's my  -

Go with the silver stripes.

White stripes on a black car have a "skunk" look (unless that's the look you're going for, then I'd recommend the license plate: "SSKUNK").
