    I'm getting ready to add the GSX Stripe and Decal kit to my red '71 Skylark/GSX Replica. My question is regarding the pinstripes that outline the black stripes... what color would be "correct" for a red car as the pinstripes are red on all other colors? I've looked at as many pics of red cars as I can find and all I see are what appears to be white, or orange color?

    Also, are these pinstripes painted on or decals?

    Any feedback is appreciated?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    The pinstripe on a red X is orange. I will see if I can find th paint code that dave Kliner gave me when I painted mine. It was close to a Chrysler Hugger orange.

    Thanks Jim! That would be great!

    I ordered the Phoenix Graphics Stencil & Decal kit, and haven't received yet. By any chance do you know if that pinstripe is part of the Stencil, or are they painted on by hand?

    Thank you so much,
    Bob

    I have another favor if you don't mind... Since your car is the same color scheme as the one I'm doing, would you mind sending me some full size pictures I can use for reference? There's not many Fire Red GSX pictures online, and the ones that are, are small and faint!

    Thanks,
    Bob
