One last thing that I really need some opinions on, so please help me decide.
I am wondering if I should put the same black stripe on my hood...
Another question, my side body moldings, I am going to keep them black for sure, but should I have them painted gloss black or go with the satin black that they are originally??

I really like the look of the stripe. you should paint that satin black as well as the molding. that would look sick!!
I thought the satin stripe, but I really would like it to be under the layer of clear(making it gloss) without a line where we had to tape it off for the mat clear.

Lookin good man! Looks like its comming along nicely. The paint should lay nice and smooth, im looking forward to seeing the color on it , i also like how you didn't paint the all of the engine bay. Gives the color to come into its own .....
I have been working on my car as well, still have a bit to do but hopping to have it on the road by saturday. As far as the redying mine im not going with the black im doing a darker grey with black headliner and black carpet it going to be 2 tone to break up the colors a lil bit . What type of dye are you using?

As far as they dye, last time I used the duplicolor vinyl dye and it worked good, but it was a little shiny. I think I am going to use Krylon plastic paint in a satin finish, I heard it works good....but I am not sure yet.
Good luck with your car. This summer I think I may take a cruise down to your area for Woodward...make a weekend out of it, we will have to meet up.

one or the other, dont do both
Agreed! I think doing the stripe in a satin or clear would look good. But with that color, doing the molding would be a bit much! On the other hand, doing the moldings and leaving the hood, i think would give the impression that something is missing,

For my year car, the moldings only came in black. I think it would look funny if it didn't have the strip since I am so used to it, but I am worried it would look funny with it, or it may be too much
This is what it looked like before the stripe....looks better with it IMO when it was blue....

Cool im using the duplicolor, it is a bit shiny but since i armoral my panels to give it that shine. I was ok with it.
as for when comming down here let me know man i'll look foward to it ..
Like said be B4, i have a long ways to go on my car. I got the saleen wing and it did not mach Any of the factory holes . So! this winter im going to take it apart, and tig weld all the holes in and make templet an make new holes , and im breaking the hole car down to media blast all the paint off, before the ppg onyx black and ppg concept clear go's on. As far as underneath go's the car has no rust so i think a satin look under there will be ok! The car only has 79k on it and was all original when i got it, so there were only minor dings and where someone side swiped it at my old work back in WA. Its a cali car so i was happy to find such a clean car , as you know being from Michigan, its hard to find them that clean...

I am going to paint my truck similar to that with Burt Orange or Persimmon Base Coat with Yellow or Red pearl on top. Probably go with a ghost stripe on it. Just deciding what color pearl to use for the stripe. I am thinking Yellow pearl for the truck and Red pearl for the stripe. I am shooting for a sunset coloring effect.
Black Stripe = HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
But either black or white would look real good on it. I was going to do mine up about that same color with a black 70's mach 1 striping scheme. with the two stripes that wrapped down the fender and faded out back to orange as it got to the rear tires.
you can always just paint the car solid, see if you like it, then paint the stripe on, and if you dont like it, just repaint the hood, a little extra work, but w/e
why is it that chrysler has all the good colors?
