Default convertible stripes

i was wondering what an 87-92 convertable with racing stripes would look like. does anybody have any pictures? is it even possible to pain a convertable top or would you even paint it?

I think you can dye or use that vinyl spray on the top but uh yea I dont think it would last or match the stripes on the car very well. The striped verts I've seen never messed with the top

if you do stripes on a convertible, just leave the top out of it, just like you would a window

i'd leave the top alone, most striped verts dont' bother with the top.

do the stripes the color of the conv. top. for example, a red car with saddle top, do saddle stripes. if it is black on black, just do the color stripes you want but dont do the stripes on the top.

I wouldn't stripe the roof of any car. Hard top, or Convertible.
