1967 GT Stripes - options

[67DropTop]

I will be painting my '67 convertible Nightmist Blue (from Tamco). The new top will be white and I will be changing my interior to white as well.

In '67 there were Early and Late stripes (wider)



I want the wider stripes. I'd also like reflective, available in '68. Unfortunately, only in the skinnier dimensions. Wider and reflective is not an option (at NPD anyway).

I am also considering painting the stripes, which would be way more cool. But also more expensive and time consuming. If I stick with a Ford white, there is only one metallic, that is Ford Space White.

Note: This is a DIY job I'm doing in my carport.

Looking for some input /opinions.

Any vinyl shop in your area can make them. Even reflective. They just need to order the right 3m or similar material.

Wow, okay. Fresh from that other forum and my first "real" post here. Had to crack my knuckles first.
I wouldn't paint them. Nope. I went with narrower '65 GT stripes on my '68. I think the wider '67 stripes make these cars appear a bit bulbous.
But then again I also have rocker moldings that some would question the "why" of too, so what the hell do I know. If you hold your finger or hand over the screen just right you can get an idea of how '65 stripes would look on a '67 vert. If you do as Chris suggested above and order an appropriate reflective vinyl you can also have them cut to whatever dimensions you desire.

This is probably the best route.
I looked up local vinyl shops and got The Record Man. I suppose places that do vinyl wraps or sign shops would be good source?

I'm keeping the rocker moldings as well. It looks a bit crowded or busy with the stripes. But they also go well with all the other brightwork.

Yes I would say so. They have cutters etc and those same shops usually do PPF as well.
