Well all I know the painted pinstripe on the fender was covered but true it was Haggerty

And not like Allstate. Any rate the hood graphic I saw for the Camaro will be vinyl

Your vinyl turned out great on precious

And when you wax the car be sure and get some 3M painters tape and mask off the edges - it was impossible to do on my checkers but a breeze to do on the hood & rocker stripes on my Mustang.

Thanks Amy! yea the Camaro's owner's manual has a warning to keep wax off the hood vents (which are black) and the other black trim of the car

What do you use on your vert top to keep it conditioned?
Are you driving the stang to the Nats? Great photo opportunity Camaro/Mustang side by side

It depends on the weather but I do plan on taking the Mustang - a bunch of other people want to see it. I use RaggTopp cleaner and protector.

FINALLY the car gets dropped off tomorrow for new paint!!! We've decided to paint the stripes instead of going vinyl after being reassured by my insurance agent that in the event of an accident, the painted stripes will indeed be covered. Haven't even dropped it off yet and already can't wait to get it back!
