To stripe or not to stripe

[KansasOBS]

100% yes on the pinstripe. Need something on a solid color to break up the body lines.

This^ Looks like it could have came off the lot new with them.

Dug out some old junk I found in basement LOL, Just pens and markers I must have down for a test on paper for something LOL. Go buy few dagger stripers and some Sign Painters 1 Shot Enamel and go play.... Paper test must have been some test I did for the tail end of long pinstripe line like yours.

That’s pretty awesome! Pinstriping is becoming a lost art for sure. The vinyl stripes like I did are easy. What you’ve done before is true art that can really be appreciated.

I'm liking it. Has that new off the lot appearance as has been stated. Silver stickers/silver stripe? It adds some balance. contrasting colors in 3 places and silver adds some contrast/bright in a 3rd place, bright in the trim, decals, stripe looks good!

No straight line like you did in vinyl or paint is easy to get perfect... Gotta have good eye for it, measurements and guide line etc... You did VERY nice !!!

. . . that is the question???

I laid this stripe down pretty quickly. Any thoughts, Yea or Nay? It’s just a vinyl stripe so I could yank it off pretty easily if it’s a no.

did ya use a wax/silicone remover first before you laid them on? And NOT pull or stretch the tape line.....

was thinking that as well wax/grease remover, multiple brands out there. I like PPG dx 440, Acry-solv, 3M, etc. The key is to remove wax before pitting decals on.

Are those obtainable at the local parts store or do I need to go to an auto body supply store? I want to do some small cartoons on my trucks, in enamel, and want to properly prep the surface first.

I used some alcohol beforehand. I thought that might be solvent enough to remove any wax or residue.

Not my thing, but looks real good on there! I vote yes.

Or should I just say, you won't...
