I can copy it out of my 78 book if needed.

If you like, I have it on file and was easier than uploading since my account is nearly full.

The lower band of colour is painted around the base of the car. The pinstripes and call-outs are decals from new and standard. On a W50 Formula in 79 you also get the large Formula lettering along the base and painted hood scoops with matching pinstripe surrounds. A standard Formula has hood-coloured scoops and small Formula call-out on fender below the chrome Firebird emblem.
