69 Driveshaft paint stripe color chart?

    I know I've seen this somewhere, but I'm coming up short on it. I need to paint two driveshafts with the correct stripes and can't recall where I found that chart. It's from the 69 assembly manual if anyone has one floating around.

    Do you just mask it and paint it?

    Yeah. I clear it afterward so the DS won’t rust.

    Curious, how wide are the stripes looks like one stripe width between strips, will you use GM yellow and green?

    I would guess Adam uses painters one shot which is a pinstriping/ sign painting paint.

    The factory put them on with a brush while the shaft was spinning on a lathe. You could easily duplicate it on the car

    I usually just mask them off and hit it with krylon. Unless it’s already in the car, but that never happens lol
