1968 Camaro finally gets all it's stripes. We go over the painting process explaining how Frankfurth's lays down Z/28 stripes. A few corrections on my intro, '67 Z/28 stripes appeared on the second half of the production, both '68 and '69 Z/28 had similar stripes. '67 SS's had the front bumble bee stripe with chrome vents on the hood, the plain hood was reserved for regular coupes. '68 SS Camaro's had the bumblebee front stripe and a side stripe, plus other combinations. '69 SS's had the so-called Hockey stripe. For reference please visit www.camaros.org

FYI there is no paint with integrated clear. What that shop probably shot first was a single stage gloss black, then came back and sanded that and cleared over it. They probably told you that to make their paint work seem more worthy of the price they are charging you.

Those rear stripes are in correct they should be around a 1/4 inch away from the chrome trim on the rear window ,or the chrome trim on a vinyl top

If the rear spoiler was dealer installed the stripe is under the back of the spoiler ,the 69 rear spoiler is a little wider there not all the same ,its single stage or 2 or 3 stage paint

In Restomod land we do it the best way we can. It's modified so that it is as clean and crisp as possible.

If that was true we would see 67 Z /28 cars with out the stripe but we don't they all got the stripes ,the early 68 cars got the bumble bee stripe I can't remember the month the 68 cars got the hockey stick stripe

It's not a '68 Z/28, it's a restomod so we build them the way we want. '68's never had a cowl induction hood either, but I did it this way because I liked it. My other '67 (Texas Camaro) has a stock SS hood, but I put ice-cube trays on it instead of the correct parallel chrome fake intakes. We're making these actually work because Gen V engines run much hotter than old school SBC. The Cowl Induction intake actually becomes a hot air extraction vent. I gave up on correct and original 10 years ago. The Camaros I build drive like new cars, with modern suspension (Roadster Shop) and 8 speed transmissions. They're nothing like stock and original Gen 1 Camaros because they drive like crap, hence the improvements.

1968 Z/28's never had the hockey stripe. That was SS cars. The early '68 Z's had 302 badges instead of the Z/28 badge on the fenders.
