Photo shop help needed

I found a picture some time back of what I think is a really neat paint idea. I am thinking of adding the same stripe to my new 81 but really would like an idea as to how it will look on my red paint. Also my big glass window car.

My car is below.

What colour is the stripe in real life Dean? Or, what colour stripe do you want on your car?

The color looks like a flat black or gray black. But maybe some other colors will go better. Well not pink or purple.

I don't like the look of that stripe at flat compared to the gloss of the paint. I think a stripe would look great but I also think it should be of similar gloss to the paint.

Nothing yet also I am open to different colors so I guess that is why I would like a photo chop.

There was a thread a couple weeks ago, photoshopped a motion stripe on a 71.

I like the flat black and suspect it would look great against your red..possibly only on the back v. back and front..

Dean....Good Luck is all I can say.

Check out this thread. I asked for a photoshop "artist" to change my vinyl top from black to SADDLE. I found a real photoshop wise guy...

...it was worth it though....made me laugh really hard.

If you look in the first photo the sign on the ground lists a detail of the mods to the body. Wish I could read it. Sure looks nice. Definitely would sell if it were a kit. At least I would buy it. Dean got anymore pics that show the info more clearly?

I like the red color but there are very few C3 Corvettes over here and most are the same red as mine. So I really would like to see my car photo chopped in the same paint scheme with flat black stripes.
