1965 Reef Turquoise pinstripe colors.

White
Black

Oftentimes the interior color dictates the pinstripe color.

Here is a Reef Turquoise with the Black stripe.

Another example; My friend Dons '65 still wearing all factory paint with Black stripe.
I think I've seen one RT '65 with white stripe and IMO it didn't look right at all. I do not know if it was as built.

I have been doing hand painted pinstriping as a living for 35yrs. and have done quite a few 65, 66 ,67 GTOs. A majority of the time you want to use the interior color, such as black or white as the guide. White interior white stripes, black interior black stripes. If the interior color matches the exterior, say black or white, use a red stripe. Blues or aquas can go with a white or black stripe.

i have seen rolls of tape with double lines, 65 should be single. have weighed in on using tape or having a line hand painted, just curious what the cost is for hand painting. my interior is met. red, would the hand painted lines be red or met. red? the Lemans is firemist metallic charcoal.

Thanks for the input guys. I should have mentioned the interior color is turquoise. Maybe I should go with something to match the interior, but I'm leaning toward white. I was quoted $100 per side for a pinstripe Friday. These guys are getting hard to find unless I'm looking in all the wrong places. Seems everything today is vinyl, ugh.

If I were to come out and do your car it would be in the 200 to 250 range. As for the color, I would use a non metallic bright red with a few dropps of magenta to tone it down a bit. The color would really "pop" off of your charcoal metallic. As for striping with metallics, I do not recommend it to anyone. The reason being is the metallics do not flow out of the brush well and leave metallic trails in the stripe that give it different shades of color, depending on the light angles. Metallic colors only look right when sprayed. JMO

I own a body shop and once in a while a car will come in with painted pinstripes and we have NO ONE to call to replace the painted stripe. I have owned the shop for 28 years and we had 4 local guys that we could call back in the day. So now we have to replace it with a vinyl stripe. If the vinyl stripe is not close to the color of the painted stripe we then have to vinyl stripe the whole side right over the painted stripe. I'm doing a concourse restoration on my 65 black car with white interior. I plan on doing the stripe in white but will need to go out of the county or maybe even out of state to find a perfect striper.
