Stripe question

[Finn]

Sorry if it has been asked before, I tried a couple searches but didn't have much luck.
Is there like a stencil or something to paint on the r/t stripes on a 68 or is it strictly measure a correct one and tape it off yourself?
I figured Id go with paint over stickers since it'll be on there for the long haul and the color Id like the stripes in I doubt I could find in sticker form  .

there are a few more colors you can get on a '68 then the other years...
black, white, red, green, and gold.
   they come in DECAL form from several sources,but  if you want a custom color you can paint it yourself, several folks here i'm sure will be happy to help you with the dimensions...   

what are your plans Finn?..

Thanks for the reply!
Id like to match it too the wheels I picked out:

A couple other areas on the car well be using the same color and I think it'll look good with the black.
Also another concern that will have to be addressed is my custom quarter panel extensions. I posted them before they were finished a long time ago and Im at school now so I don't any pics with me but they "flare" out now so instead of the V bend in the stripe I may have to change it to match. Ill have to tape out what the standard stripe would look like on the car before I could say for sure though.
The shape now follows the shape of the leading edge of the car so I guess you could describe it as a "w"??

GM Code #84 gunmetal gray met looks similar to your wheel color? LEON.

If you want to paint on the stripes, best way to do it is with a stencil. Contact the guys over at Phoenix Graphics. They helped me out a TON when I painted the "440" callouts on my '69 hood.
If the stock stripe dimensions will work, they can make you a "negative" stencil pattern you can use.
Good luck!

Thanks man, here's another shot from my phone I took a couple days ago:

FYI - We called Phoenix Graphics asking if they would sell us a "negative stencil" for 68 stripes. We are applying a custom color as well.

We got a "no thanks" from them.

Try Performance Car Graphics.

I found them pretty customer friendly when I bought stuff from them. I'm not saying they can definitely help, but I found their prices and customer service to be pretty good.

Performance car graphics sold me a 68 negative, which after talking to the painting it turns out he wants a positive (stripe color on first, stencil on, main color, stencil off) since the stripe color has flakes or something in it that make over spray a bitch. I have the 68 negative still though and I don't think he'll need it. Ill double check but if you still need one let me know.
