Hey Jeff, am I to guess, that your going with a white color for the stripes, to match your avatar?

 

Yeah, I am pretty sure that I am going to stick with the white. I looked at some of the other Silver stangs on the board and I like the white better. I may have them Pearl the color, but I have a week to figure that one out.

You have a different idea? I am always open to suggestions.

 

You could do a reverse of the Ford GT. Get Tunsten stripes on a Satin Silver car? I think that would look good.

 

Dunno... here is a Satin Silver with the Tungsten stripes: (thanks to Google for this)

Anyone Have Stripes Done With Mystic Color Paint?if Yes Please Show Pictures! Thanks

 

On the GT/CS the bumpers are different, the only places that would come into play is just under the front grill ( I questioned that ) and where the trunk lid covers the bumper, which is not much of an issue with me. The bottoms of the bumpers are black and don't need the stripes there. Unless I'm missing something I don't see a problem. Also double the price for four stripes ( two front and two back) about a foot long???

 

What he is referring to is the clearing of the parts. When they are on the car, it is very difficult to clear the parts.

WIth my car, they are going to completely disassemble the front and rear bumpers and paint on the stripes. This also allows them to paint the stripes on completely so that there are no hard-stops visible. Then when they are done painting the stripes, they will clear the entire part so that there are no hard edges.

Costs a bit more, but I think that the end product will be worth it.

 

Not my car, but here are those stripes on black

 

I am definately leaning towards the white stripe still. Here is a link to the GT500 Stripe painter and you can play with all the colors.

$2500 seems about right. I paid $2312, for stripes under clearcoat with PPG paint. I also had some front bumper scratches repaires. Don't forget all that should come apart to do the job properly. They sand the hood, roof, decklid, plus my guy said if you go with an aftermarket spoiler there is the possibility that it will need some work so it lines up properly.

I feel no line and the stripes are crisp and perfect.

To give an idea from my bill:

• 6 hours labor@ 44.0 / hr to lay out the stripes
• 4 hours labor @ 44.0 / hr to spray them
• 30 hours total for all other masking, taking apart and reassembly
• $552 in paint and materials used.

Plus they wax and wash the car and detail it before it leaves the shop

Hope this helps,
Donna

 

Finished product !

 

Looks really good. What size stripes and what size space did you go with?

 

Thanks,

I went with 10 and 2.

 

I just got done pulling off the old Vinyl stripes, man that is a pain!

It was cheaper for me to do the work then to pay them for the Time to do it.

 

I know this is old but the stripes were done at Copley Auto out in Copley, Ohio. It cost me 1500.00 but I was the first one and he said that it would be 2000.00 after that. Tallmadge Collision also has a custom shop and they said it would be about 1700.00. If you go to www.harleybill.com you can see all that they did when they took it apart. Quite extensive.

 

Well, dropped the car off today and the striping has begun.

Cool thing with the shop that I am using, Daku Auto Body, is that they post pictures of the progress. Here is a link to the site:
