After much deliberation whether to re-stripe the car in vinyl or paint i took the plunge and went for the paint
a nice shade of Anthracite grey with just a hint of metallic.

10" over the top with a 1.5" gap

2" Rocker stripes with 0.5" gap then a 0.5" pinstripe either side

When I have saved enough.
