I may end up getting mine painted someday after the warranty is up and I get tired of all the spotting on the stripes. How much did it cost? -yellow pony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildAzCat Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yup, I believe that painting the stripes will be in my future as well. Can't wait to see how yours came out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummm...why did they cut out around the rear break light, faux gas cap, and plate area and not paint in, behind and around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormeaston Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hummm...why did they cut out around the rear break light, faux gas cap, and plate area and not paint in, behind and around? Isn't that the way the original stripes are?, I'm at work so I can't check it on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC2873 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hummm...why did they cut out around the rear break light, faux gas cap, and plate area and not paint in, behind and around? that's the way the vinyl does. I had my shop do the same thing to make it look as close to the original as possible. We measured, took pics, had set back exact on the roof stripes, etc....little more trouble to do it this way, but well worth it. That is a great price that he did the work for. I suspect at this price, he did not clear the entire panels or did he. I would think at that price he cleared painted stripe only which is the way I like them as it still gives them an "edge". Looks great! Craig :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if you're going to paint why not make them look painted and not like vinyl? There is someone there that had their stripes painted, black car, and it look AWESOME with the stripes done as if they were painted day one. Here is a pic! Guess it's personal preference!

No, but if you want them to look clean without jagged edges, you'd have to have the hood, bumpers, roof, and trunk all completely re-clearcoated. If his was done this way (the right way, IMO) for $725, I'm shocked. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
