It's all in the details. I want to clear over the stripes, plus if anything ever happens I will be able to fix it just like the rest of the painted surfaces. I already have the color down for the stripe, just need to sand down, tape up, paint the rest of the car, then peel and clear. I have a color that I can't get in a decal too for the stripe.

Could you post how many segments are in the stripe. I cant say for others but ive cleared over factory mopar stripes and they do appear to have a painted on look and have went far past the life span of if they were not painted over.

In my situation I could not use a pre cut stripe or I would and simply clear over it. id like to have the high reflective stripes but I add a bright fine silver tone to the base mix and can get a good balance. Being a resto mod no matter what the quality or the money put in I know it will never have the value of a rare optioned org. resto car no matter how high the quality of work is unless you find the few select buyers that have the same tastes and finding that buyer more then not never happens.

Your RR looks very nice, but id have to ask did it come with gloss painted bumpers factory or chrome?

I have a car with the original 71 RR stripe and another with the 72 version. Which one do you want and I'll count & measure it for you.

You say it's all in the details and then say you don't care if it is the same just close etc... Then you even say to paint over stripes. That never makes sense to me since it always looks homemade and inaccurate. I get it's a Satellite but right is right and what your doing isn't going to look right no matter how you want to justify it to yourself. My Satellite was cloned years back by a different owner but he used correct stripes etc... The Matte Black stripe when hit with light has a Gold look to it.
