Pinstripe Covering For Taillights

[turtles_ride]

^and if you don't go with the colour of the car, how many other things you have on your car that are the same colour as the pinstriping you used.

i thought it looked so so on mine, nothing special, but i really like it on maries, turtles_ride, and the recent bronze mist (cant remember who)

Auburn Night thank you very much. hehe :P

looks good right?

auburn night huh? dont recall hearing that color before... looks the same or similar to bronze mist though


and queen_b, check this thread again, there is only one comment about your car, and it wasnt even directed toward you, but you know that... you just quoted it.

get over it.

I haven't either, I just called a GM dealership and gave him my Vin# and he gave me the color name and paint code so I dunno. hehe

^ Either way, it's a sweet color! I'm thinking it's a little more brown/umber than the Mist is... maybe?

Its weird, at night it looks deep dark blackish purple, but in the day, it seems more brown. I can't really put my finger on it, but its gonna be black soon.

I picked up 2 things of pinstriping yesterday at pepboys, same color silver as my car... i'll try to do that, then if i don't like the silver i'll try the black.... just have to think of a design that would look nice... and for you guys that like... left the reverse light cleared, did you use an exacto knife to cut off the pinstriping around the light? or did you just not stripe it all together?

[FormulaNERD]

i ran a pin stripe around the border of the reverse light, if that makes sense?

yeah, i saw yours, that looked pretty nice

[Youngblood77]

I just never striped it, but I did the same thing Form did, and ran one pass around the light, covering the ends of all the horizontals. It's the cleanest looking method IMO. G/L Sno. :thumbsup: B)

I did the same thing as form. slick i tell ya

it would take alot of work, but has anyone thought of trying to do the honeycomb type pattern similar to what's on the firebirds?

hmmm, looks horrible to me.

Can you quit being such a useless piece of $hit and add something intelligent once in a while, like how your honour would do them maybe. If you don't like em don't do em. Nice skulls by the way, doood!! Grow up.

[sound_xtreme]

To each their own. Turtle, if he doesn't like em, so be it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to voice it.

Hey for anybody that has done the "touch-up" strips at the end of the horizontal strips or around the reverse light, (what Eric did), how do you get the pinstriping to curve so nice around the reverse light spot? if that makes sense.... thanks

[smlzalero]

I posted in the other thread.

^^BTW your custom cut out look GREAT Sarah!!!

anyway...i'm going to go out and get white pinstripes for my white '04. i thought that looked damn good!!

i'm either going to cut out my custom logo for myself (artist sig) or do the olds symbol, i can't decide!!

(how many rolls of the pinstripes are needed for the mod?)

[cutelilcntrygrl]

It shouldn't take more than 2 rolls.

Stealth, just heat it up a little bit and use your finger nail, if you have any. That's how I did mine. Or you could *very gently* run a razor blade over it. Just be sure not to cut the light. And then just peel the pinstripe off.
