Russell, go back to the body shop and talk to Ken. You'll never hear me make a statement like this again, but Ken is my man! If he's not there, Max also helped me out. Regardless of who you talk to, you'll get great results! Best to bring your car in for work on a Monday or Tuesday. Let me know how it turns out!

I'm picking my car up for REAL today, so I'll post all of the 'final' photos up around 6 tonight.

Pat, they actually didn't wetsand the clearcoat, but scuffed the clearcoat first, taped the stripes, sprayed em, and went back over everything with a clearcoat so there would be no ridge in the paint. When my fingertips glide over it I don't feel the slgihtest rise in the paint. Amazing work!

Thats exactly how my stripes were painted on,no ridge.They were cut with a 1500 to a 3000 grit and followed up a sweet buffing out.
They did it right on your ride!Again,it turned out excellent!

Looks awesome, I guess I am the only one who thinks not removing everything is a great idea. I HATE anyone doing body work on my car (I trust my body shop but I just don't like it). Awesome results

Oh good I was hoping someone might have it. Did you find a need to paint everything behind the grille black or does it not show through? If you did paint it, what type?

I was just about to post pictures in the other thread you had. I didn't paint mine. The thought didn't even cross my mind when I put it on. The bars are so close that everything behind is almost invisible on a black car. I have more pictures of it in direct sunlight that I'll post in a bit.

Blake your car turned out really nice! Nothing better than a fresh set of stripes except maybe a blower!

K, thanks for the heads up man!


Thank you very much Rich! I couldn't be happier with the results, minus the gaping whole in the front bumper. Which will no longer be an issue as of Tuesday. Hah! If I could pocket a blower it'd be on there by now. I better start saving up for one so i can afford it in a couple of years.
