Love those stripes. do you know what color those are called? Anthracite?

I bought the stripes off e-bay. They are 8 inch stripes and were for a Chevy Cobalt.

They are like these: Chevy Cobalt 8" Vinyl Rally Stripes Racing Stripe Hood Trunk Roof Free SHIP | eBay

You need to contact the seller to find out what colors he is offering.

I just wanted to see what they looked like on the car (for a year) and then I will have then painted on. I like the back but the front I would follow the hood gap closer. I plan in painting the stripes on in a gun metal with a little sparkle to match the Arctic Silver's sparkle.

I would look at having them done in 3m 1080 film. It is a wrap film and is what they use to do the complete color change wraps on cars. It comes in about 30+ colors I think now and several are different shades (matte, gloss, satin) of gray, anthracite, aluminum, and silver. I installed some on my dads truck a while back and it goes on super easy compared to regular vinyl because it has air release channels. I work with this stuff for a living so I might have a little more experience than most but it is still probably something a DIY person could do with just a little patience. You can kind of curve it as needed as well where regular vinyl is not as forgiving. I purchased it off of ebay and you could probably take it to any sign shop and have them cut whatever text or stripes you wanted out of it for not too much money. Best thing is that it will probably come off a lot easier when you want to take it off instead of breaking into a million pieces like standard vinyl often does. I put black vinyl "boxster" script side stripes on my car about a year ago in standard vinyl and would have done them in the 1080 material if I had known about it at the time.

I'm still looking for that picture somebody posted on this site a while ago and then they deleted it. It was a "ghost" effect of 986 on a trunk lid. I think I know a guy that could do that for me, but I can't remember exactly what it looked like and I'm far from an artist.

But I love those ghost stripes too. Decisions, decisions.
