350GT'12 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 So I have the painted stripe option on my 2012 GT 350, and the upper/center stripes are painted on. But the side panel stripes and lettering are the stick on variety. Can someone please tell me if this is how the "painted on stripes" come? Is this customary or did I get a half job on my painted on stripes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcmotorworks Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Are you sure the rocker panel stripes are vinyl or is there just a clearcoat ridge about a 1/2" above the stripe giving it that appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350GT'12 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 There is a clear edge that I can feel with my finger, just a little above the top strip of the rocker panel, and again just a little below the lower white striping of the rocker panel as well. It runs the entire length of the rocker panel. It looks and feels different than the stripe on top, which is clearly painted on. I could take it to my local garage for their opinion, but what I am seeing is painted on stripes on top, and vinyl stripes on the rocker panel.

ITHERTZ66 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Maybe you got vinyl rocker stripes that were clear coated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcmotorworks Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I believe they are painted on stripes, but Shelby only clears over the rocker stripes not the entire with quarter panel, fender and doors, with a ridge just above the stripe. There generally is not a bottom ridge which you describe (clear goes all the way down) so I don't know. Maybe it's a Hybrid. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swa737 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I have the 2011. Top stripes painted and lower are not. If you look into the front wheel well where the stripes turn the corner...you will see the vinyl... Edited March 11, 2014 by swa737 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
