Pinstripes went on today, I was going to usev1/2 inch, but I think the 1/4inch provides enough contrast.
A couple of things if you've never done this,
1.I keep a heat gun handy so I can make the tape go around difficult corners
2. Superglue all the tape ends
3. Don't overstretch the tape, just pull it enough to take out any sag
4. When you pad the stripe down, don't run your finger down the tape, this can stretch the tape. Instead pad it down all along it's length, then go back and run your finger down the length of the tape.

YepLookin good. Are you goin " The Full Monty " with the retro stripes and sticker's ?
I love it.Yep
Stickers came in today, I should be in bed since I have to get up at 3AM to catch a flight to Laguna Seca. Two days ago, after buffing this thing out, I could hardly get out of bed.. but I digress.
I couldn't wait to see how they looked so I did one side.

I'm not sure what to do about them, I wasn't a fan but they're sort of growing on me. They are 18x9s so they are a bit narrow.Lookin good! Wheels look niiice
No, I just covered up some stuff ( like my restored gas pump) and went for it. Since I was only doing the red it was no big deal.Looks nice! Having the black top & bottom is a unique look!
Sorry if I missed in earlier posts, but it seems like you painted there at your shop. Did you do inside with just some plastic thrown up, or what? Just curious how that process went for future reference!
Great, was curious, likely be a few years yet before I have a place to try it!No, I just covered up some stuff ( like my restored gas pump) and went for it. Since I was only doing the red it was no big deal.
