Need Help Decoding A14 Road Runner

[SuperStockDodge]

Okay, I have red stripes on the way but I can't decide on the hood. I am afraid it will get a bit busy with the flat black stripes. Also, I am not a big fan of how hard the original flat black finish is to take care of. I was considering a modern flat paint that can get wax on it. Stripes will be there, just not 100% correct. Opinions?

Well here is what I did to duplicate the Organisol and make it durable and easy to clean with some vinegar and distilled water mixed 50/50. Works on everything including wax. I used DCC9355 which is a modern urethane with texture and flattening agent added, and 3:2 extra thinner vs. 50/50. I have the exact formula if you need it. The stripes were a little gritty for a few months but now they are perfect and easy to clean and look very similar to Organisol.
Some guys have success with "hot rod black" paint.
Here is a old thread showing what I did with a photobucket link...

I recently did Hot rod black on two of mine it laid down nice and so far I like it, the organisol mix was crazy expensive compared to it too which was a big factor to me. Another thing to consider is synthetic car wax the turtle wax ice, I heard it will not wreck flat black, don't remember where I heard it from, but it seems nice to use and I still am very careful waxing near hood stripes anyways . I think all that would make your car a quadruple black and I'm not sure what the next step up from a trifecta of black is but with hood stripes your car would achieve it.

I have buddies that have used hot rod black on other types of cars, I probably will go that route.

When I added the hood stripe to my car Hot Rod black was used, without the organisol. It does make it easy to clean and looks good enough for me!

People also keep suggesting instead of paint I have "wrap" stripes made for it...I wonder if any has tried that yet?

Ruby Red Reflective Stripes are on...still sitting on the fence about painting the flat black stripes back on it should have. I am just not sold on it and personally I think it will be too much. Gonna roll like this for now.
