Default Testing the look of stripes

I have a 12 base coupe in Arctic White and I am interested in testing the look of some stripe designs.

Question is how best to install a stripe and still be able to remove it if I decide I don't like the look after a number of days.

I am thinking some custom variant of the silver stripe on white like many of the 13 427 Verts.

Thoughts? Pictures?

Look at photos first. That should give you a good idea.

If you want something that is cheaper to strip and throw away than GM OEM stripes, try vettestripes.com to see if they have something that interests you.

As mentioned, Google is your friend. If you are thinking of some type of striping, someone has already done it.
If they haven't, probably a good reason why.

Plasti-dip. if you don't like it, just peel it off.

Tape off where you want striped, spray a few coats, peel tape while wet and let it dry.

Dont like it, peels right off. Make sure you spray enough coats so its thick and easy to peel if you dont like it.

Gold on White would be interesting...

IROC-Z28 had the White with the Gold trim, i think it would look nice...
If not over done

You may end up doing stripes and your rims in gold too !
Worth a try, dont like it ... Peel it !
