Something you might want to consider is that while a wide racing stripe looks good it's not helpful w/ the police. Ran one on a street legal race car before the Vette. Repainted car to get rid of it.

I've got a black one. It was painted on and the gloss was put on so you can't feel it. Pictures in my sig and more on my website

Olivier? I kind of like the dual stripe look down the middle.... kind of like a Viper, or an old Shelby Cobra.

I like The Baldwin-Motion striping. The way it starts out of the L-88 hood over the roof and the the entire back of the car is painted and then it comes to a point at the doors.

I've been considering putting a GS stripe on my black '78 maybe bright blue or white. The model idea sounds like a good one to see what it would like.

You usually get those when you lose the race... to the toilet.
