Was this paint scheme available on the 69 Camaro? If it was does anyone know what colors were available with it?

The SS stripe for 69 was a "hockey style" stripe that ran along the top of the fender and door. The SS stripe in the picture is correct for a 68. A friend of mine used the 68 SS stripe on his 67 RS and it looks great.

I don't think I've ever seen this stripe on a 69, not sure how it would look with the body crease flowing off the top of the wheel opening. The crease on a 67/68 is lower than the 69.

For some good pictures of the different stripes look in the Classic Industries catalog (pages 272-274). There's one that looks like the RS "bumble bee" stripe that splits and runs down the center of the hood that's pretty cool.

I like the 68 stripe better, you get to see more of the 2nd color.
