Help applying new pinstripe.

[imported_UnsanePyro]

Yesterday I noticed that the pinstriping on my car was starting to peel a bit more than before, and since I never really liked the gold anyways, I figured I would take it all off. The first door went fine. Then I found out that half of it had paint under it, while 1/4 of it had primer under it, and 1/4 has something else.



I need to lay down a new pinstripe now, because there is no way I would have the money to have all of it painted (a girl at work said get some green paint )

Wierd eh? Every other panel has paint/no paint.



Does anyone have any suggestions for a a good pinstripe to use? Will one from someplace like PepBoys/AutoZone work fine?



Any helpful hints to laying it down? GSRStilez said degrease the area, and lay down blue painters tape first, to make sure everything was level, and then its just a matter of time. Thanks :up



BTW, those top lines are primer, the bottom ones are silver/flake (though no green?), and sorry about the picture quality, I took it with the PDA since its a quicker then getting the camera.

It might be obvious to some, but with the use of an assistant put the tape on the full length of the car in one go, check its level, trim the panel gaps (very) carefully with a scalpel and then press it all down.



I also got told to avoid washing, waxing etc for a few days so the adhesive could cure properly.



Hope this helps.
