I have painted several 70 Chevelles with the striped hoods but never attempted an Olds with stripes all over the place. I took detailed pics of the original stripes to be able to reproduce them but thought it might be better to buy a stencil kit.
Any opinions out there?

 

The stencils would be the easier way to do them, rather than killing yourself over all the measuring and such.

I have no creative auto-painting skills or abilites...
I have been planning to get the black stick-on W29 stripe set from Fusick some day. I guess the big thing is to get all the wax off of the paint so they will stick well. Patience is a bigger thing that will be needed...

 

I used the Stencils and Stripes W25 hood kit.

Worked great.

 

I had my paint shop paint the stripes. I vote for quality over expediency.

It may take a little longer to measure out, but they sure look nice under the clear coat!
