I am thinking about putting a stripe on my car i am really a fan of this stripe
http://www.zzpdecals.com/product_images/lg_side_streak.jpg

but i dont want it to be a sticker im going to paint it on, i want some peoples ideas on this some sugestions i was thinking about was painting the stripe a sunburst metalic orange its more of a burnt orange color, but that might look to flashy/bright so another idea i had was to get a quart of clear coat and then some pearl or some metalic and adding that into the clear, so i would just mask it off skuff it good and then paint it in clear so it would be a ghost look

i would use an orange pearl if i used pearl or some sort of metalic or aluminum i just want some peoples ideas

What color is your car?
And what color or two colors are you deciding to go with most, and I'll see if I can try something in PS for you.

I guess it is red from the one pick I saw on your website.
I actually need a pic of your car though.

Ah now I see the orange you want, what the heck, didn't show up when I saw the car. I will redo it anyways since the car I shrunk down too much.

seems ALMOST blasphemous to put a MOPAR stripe on a Poncho, but hot damn it looks SOOOO good.

EDIT: but Rook, I REALLY like yours. I like yours so much more than the rough/primitive version. I just might do this to my own car.

hmmm, black on red or silver on red?

Sadly, I like mine to the point I started contemplating it for my car.

BTW, this ain't Mopar striping. It's much more elaborate ala the fender 4drgt posted.

20gtp02: freehanding.
