I always loved the stripes on various "Martini Racing" cars. If some of the photoshop experts out there were looking to try it. I and I'm sure others here would like to see your interpretation. "Martini" cars are usually white or silver.

what are "martini racing stripes"?

From Wikipeadia: Martini Racing is the name under which various motor racing teams raced when sponsored by the Martini & Rossi distillery that produces Martini vermouth. Martini's sponsorship program began in 1968. The race cars are marked with the distinctive dark blue, light blue and red stripes on (most often) white or silver cars.

Here's a quickie.

Alright, that's a good start. I wasn't thinking a race car per se, just cosmetically inspired by those stripes and colors. I like what you did there.

Here's mine. I would have like to sweep the rocker panel stripe up and over the rear fender but it's beyond my skill level.

And another one. I'm thinking I'd like my "Martini" camaro to be similar to the Indy pace car, a white 'vert with that full bumper to bumper stripe. I also really like that Nickey pace car so I 'm going to try and PS the wide stripe from hood to spoiler as wide as the rally stripes. I'm loving the AR Torque thrust rims too and I'm thinking about getting the spokes painted red.

Whoa! Radically different, you really took this outside the box. It's fantastic!

Here's a red one. I used GIMP and INKSCAPE to manipulate the photo. I wanted to chop in AR Torq M wheels with the spokes painted lt. blue or red but this is all I had time for this morning. Took me an hour, which isn't bad considering I never used INKSCAPE before and had to download it.
