Default Paint/decal

I have a 2004 CE coupe. I would like to have the paint scheme of the Z16 of that year. Does anyone make decals to order, or should I just have someone paint the car? I think some years ago I had heard of someone who made decals. I realize the hood of the ZO6 is carbon fiber and painted. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks for the information. I will get a set of these as soon as I have my front bumper repaired. It was damaged as a consequence of a section of flying truck tire. I missed the truck afterwards, as my missile guidance system also was damaged.

Any idea of the cost of the stripes? I sent a note to the company, but have not heard anything, yet. I did not understand the pricing shown on the company's web site.

I've seen a couple of cars that have had the stripes done in paint and cleared. They look amazing. A good airbrush painter could duplicate the carbon fiber between the silver and red, but it would be labor intensive and expensive.

It looks like $200 to $245 plus the shipping charge depending on whether you want single color or two color C5 Commemorative Edition style stripes...

On the Z16, the stripes are decals. Mike at vettestripes.com can set you up with similar stripes - and they are a top quality product.
