impcon Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 I just received a '75 Road Runner rebuilder from a dear friend and I am hoping to do the car in it's original glory with a factory striping package. I am considering painting it white, red or blue.. I am inclined toward white with gold stripes, but it depends on what ( if anything ) is available. I'm almost tempted to backdate the color to 1969 Seafoam Turquoise.. we'll see where it goes with the striping if it is available... Any suggestions will be appreciated guys - thanks in advance.
Can-Con Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 Ray's Kits Decals has a rather comprehensive sheet for that car. If you order it strait from them you can have the strips in custom colors along with choice of license plates and tire decals. https://rayskits.com/product/1975-plymouth-roadrunner/
impcon Posted September 15, 2022 Author Posted September 15, 2022 Thanks for the lead Steve.. I appreciate it. I wonder if anyone on this side of the Atlantic produces a similar product? It will be interesting to know..

There's an ebay seller he works with that has some of his decal sets stateside, if he has what you're looking for it saves you on shipping.

I'm sure that a special order (code '999') of Q5 or Q7 could've been fulfilled by Chrysler. From what I remember of these 1975 Road Runners (last year of the 'real' R.R., as it was relegated to an option package for 1976-1980), most of them were EW1 white or KY1 yellow.
impcon Posted September 15, 2022 Author Posted September 15, 2022 Thank you - I seem to get the sense that white and yellow were very common.. those cars do look good in white I will admit. Mopar seemed to be losing their edge with the really unique performance cars around 1975 - or at least it seems that way too me. Most everything after the late 1960's and early '70's was sort of tame compared to the Challengers, 'Cudas, Chargers, etc. No offence meant to people who like the newer years - but nothing was built that compared in MANY respects.. This is only my personal opinion, by the way.
kelson Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 Pretty sure Keith Marks offers a sheet as well.it's not as extensive as Ray's Kit Decals though.

Thank you for the suggestion.. I may be missing something, but based on what I can find on his Fotki page, he offers hardly any decals compared to what I thought he used to. But I appreciate your input - thank you..
