Got bored , so decided to stripe.
I got a hair up ma **** yesterday and this is the result. Color is Gun metal metallic , and is done entirely with rattle cans cause I didn't feel like breaking out the air. Well see how it looks when it in the day light by the time I finished it was dark out and the garage lights suck. But I am liking it.
center line was a pain to track front to back
carrying the stripes down the front bumper was probly the most daunting task , but I think it turned out good.
Not as bad as the front bumper , but still no joy here either.
Now for the fun part ( and my personal favorite part )
And the end results
Ill get some better pics during the day light hrs , I hate the lights in the garage. I have about 8 big shop lights to hang but am too lazy to put em up just yet.

Honestly it doesn't look bad, but the black side trim may change colors.
After looking this morning at how it attaches , I don't want to remove it because it leaves a groove behind it. I may tape a section off and experiment with some alternative colors for it. It may end up being white or the same gunmetal gray as the stripes .

Ok I finally got out side and got some pics in the sun. Its not bad but there are a few places that need some touching up . All in all though at least its pretty straight.

Thanx, its actually a ford color acrylic lacquer made by Dupli-color . I used 3, 8oz cans at 8 bucks a can. When I get ready to shoot the clear pearl Ill use ppg and a gun. Ill cut the entire car with some 1000 grit and I want to eliminate those red pinstripes. The great thing about the fords back then is the base coat is about 1/16" thick so there is a lot of room for sanding.
Im open to suggestions on the bumper and side trim as to what colors would look good with white and gray.
