I know what you mean about the striping. I spent 2 days doing my 68 it had strips on the sides and hood top of front fenders. What we did was paint the car the base color then taint he strips the same color but 3 more coats then cleared it I think 3 times. then sanded and recleared. Depending on where you were looking at the car what strips you could see. I don't think I have any of those pictures as my X got them and that was 27 years ago.
