Default "Racing Stripes" like on Berger cars, etc.

Anyone know where I can get a patter of these stripes. I'm going to paint them on b/c decals will eventually fade and deteriorate. The next problem is deciding what color. They're going on a red '00 SS. I was thinking black, but should I go with satin or gloss? I've already got the satin Berger panel, as well as a billet grill w/ 69 ss emblem. I wanna get these right the first time. Any help is appreciated!

Jay at 3rd gen Decals might be able to do a reverse vinyl to use as a paint stencil. They're not a complex design so you could just measure them out and mask them with 3M fineline Blue tape around the edges then mask the rest off with normal paper tape.

Ya, I thought about just taping them off. We own an autobody, so it's no big deal. I was just tryin to make it easier to get them done. Thanks.

A stencil is gonna be more of a pain in the *** than it's worth really. Just measure them out and free hand mask it.
