Default Pinstripe!!!

Well last Thursday washed my truck and kinda took off sum of my pinstripe in the process at first tried to save it then i said **** it and took it off. well go in the shed and grab the red pinstripe and it was a bright red mine was a darker shade. long story short i put that bright red on just so ppl wouldn't ask why is there no red there. today the new stuff came in my measurements were correct on the width but wasnt as dark it was close enough so for an hour i carefully took the red pinstripe off without taking the silver one that was under it off and place the new one down. i think i did good i think i might have to redo the one but i took my time and cut it like the old ones were. sorry for the crappy photos but the tailgate i didnt touch snice it was still good and u cant notice the difference and the last pic i was bored so i ended up giving it eyes lol. btw i adjusted the left eye after taking the photo lol

Looks like you did a good job with it, I can't imagine that stuff is easy to put on in a perfectly straight line.

The dealer I bought my truck used from put pinstripes on it .... best thing I ever did was take them off. It cleaned up my truck a lot. I couldnt stand the wax that would always get caught underneath them, so I removed them and the 4x4 logos.

thx all the truck did come with silver stripes but the top ones were getting messed up im guessing thats why it had the red ones on top. it takes time and a steady hand which i surprised by how much i did and it seem simple. i wouldn't mind doing it but see i already had a straight line i just had to cover most of it with red.
