I wanted to repaint my 69 camaro. It's currently black with white stripes, but there are imperfections in the paint, scratches, etc, that should be fixed. I have always loved the look of yenko stripes, but was thinking of doing something custom. A friend photo shopped up the idea for me to get an idea of what I'm thinking of. Something different. The stripes would be in vinyl or whatever material they use when you don't pain them on. They would be in desert digital (AOR1 pattern). I'm in the military so it kind of fits. Looking at the picture it kind of grows on me, but I figured I'd toss it up here to see what others thought of it. I'll attach a pic of my car for reference.

I don't like it. The only way it would work IMHO is if the pattern was black, white and gray. The tan matches nothing on your car. If the interior were brown, it MAY seem like there's a theme - but even then I think it's a stretch. Now, if the whole car were digital cammo, that might be cool. My $0.02.

I really like the stripe, but intofx is right about it not matching anything else on the car. you need something else on the car to go with it.

I agree with the others. If you add the stripes, they should be one color.

I agree on the color also. Another thing that doesnt look right is the white walls. LOL
