Responsible for the design of the 69 Camaro?

It would be difficult to get the stripes to line-up if they were all painted.

That's true, Kurt!
But why hasn't anybody made a complete decal-kit for the aftermarket, it´s even easier to line up if everything if it´s a decal!

I think Rick's has complete decal kits for several of the stripes.

Original GM production methods for 1968-69 Camaros utilized the "doghouse" assembly style, which included the fenders, painted separately from the rest of the body. If the car was to receive the optional SS & RPO D90 sport striping, the factory also painted the fender stripes. After assembling the whole body, they applied self-adhesive vinyl on the doors to complete the sport striping. This vinyl decal set from Rick's, manufactured to original factory striping specifications, allows you to easily do the job with a self-adhesive, vinyl decal which duplicates the SS & RPO D90 sport striping on your car without the risk and expense associated with painting.

I think they just mean they have decals for the door, not the complete  striping kit!

I called Rick's super sales hotline to confirm, its the entire stripe as a decal. No paint needed.

But I'm talking about the DX-1 here and I can't find it as a decal only.....?

[abiddle]

Ah yes, sorry I didn't know you were only interested in the DX1. You are correct, then make decal-only kits for all of the stripes except the DX1.

Could you possible ask them by any chance, if they can make the DX-1 as a complete vinyl kit?
It's hard to reach them by phone from Sweden and US companies seldom use email as a way of communication, that's my own experience!   

[abiddle]

Yep, I did it before you even asked. I went to the website of the mfg Phoenix Graphix and submitted a request via email. Response below...

Thank you for your interest in Phoenix Graphix! Unfortunately the DX1 is
only available as a stencil. We're sorry we couldn't be of more help. If you

Wow, thanx!
....and they really did answer, that's great!
It's a pity though, with the answer....
....it wouldn't be hard for Phoenix to make one I guess.....I have to contact them myself now that I know they use email!

Zl-1 #3 did have a black lace stripe right up the middle at one point. If you know where to look you can still see where it was repainted years ago. Is this the stripe your thinking of?

It had a black stripe on the hood as many other COPO 9560-9561 and Dealers did it because they would be more easily sold.
Thats why its, "called" the COPO Paint.
I dident mean Special COPO Paint as Special ordered Paint

[68L30]

Different stripe and it was not put on by Berger. It was on prior to Rose owning the car and could have been done by Meyer & Gibas , Lutz or Buckner... Just not Berger or Rose. It went over the hood roof and deck from what I remember. I did not see the car with the stripe, just with the stripe removed and holding much of it's factory paint. Very cool car.
