I suggest that if you put stripes on it ,,,you should have them painted on with the same type of paint thats on the car ,,,,then clearcoat the entire car....
but it will look good no matter what because its a VETTE

None yet. I think he will send them to me around the first.

If I go with the stripes, I've decided to have them painted on.

Did he Bead Blast it down to the glass? My paint guy said my 84' needs it all taken off and start from scratch...BTW...What did they charge you?..I was quoted $4,000.00

$4000 for striping/bead blasting and Paint? If so, I on my way!

Stripes??? Two tone??? Who in their right mind would EVER consider a white on blue paint scheme?!?!?
Where's your sense of decency man?!?!


I'll be curious to know the fit and finish of your tru-flex. I've heard good and bad. My personal experience was bad. I tried a front Tru-Flex and it was crap. I ended up staying with my original front, reconditioning it, and going with an OEM urethane rear. For the rear, I kinda wish now I had gone with fiberglass and had it smoothed in for no seams. But oh well...

I know the anticipation you have. It's awesome when you first set eyes on the new paint!

I know, I know. Blue and white looks like crap.

Paintdaddy hasn't said anything about the fit and finish on the tru-flex. I asked him before I bought them. We'll see.

[Evolution1980]

NIIIIICE..... I know the feeling!!! Wait until you see it in person for the first time. The smile that is going to cross your face will be pushing your ears out of the way!
...and you'll never drive the car more carefully than when you drive it home from the shop.
