ProStreet83C10 · 03-19-2012, 11:54 PM

hey guys, so on sat my car club im in held our annual car show INSIDE our mall and had a great turn out. also had a pinstriper come (came last year as well) and was offering pinstriping on vehicles during the show at a VERY GOOD price. Well, i gave in and had him do some striping on my pickup. Heres some pics, i had a small hood striping done and a tailgate "tramp stamp" as some may call it. I also had the striping done in the 2 colors that are already striped on my truck, which is a purple and a VERY light blue. Heres a pic first of the colors already previously on my truck.

Previous striping colors

OK, on to the pistriping, first pics will be base color on both tailgate and hood, then both colors and final striping.

Base striping (purple)

Top striping (light Blue)

Finished striping

Tell me what you guys all think, positive or negative. i think it really added personality to the truck!!!

AntiGov · 03-20-2012, 01:04 AM

that guy looks like he knows what he's doing for sure, could prolly do it blind folded.

burb1085 · 03-20-2012, 01:19 AM

INSIDIOUS '86 · 03-20-2012, 02:23 AM

That's classy. He did a heck of a job, two thumbs up from me!

survivingalone · 03-20-2012, 11:14 AM

nice...what did he charge?

silvereagle07 · 03-20-2012, 06:27 PM

Sweet! That looks real good.

bigsj · 03-20-2012, 07:07 PM

Thats some nice work...

ProStreet83C10 · 03-20-2012, 08:17 PM

well, before i go throwing the price out, what do YOU guys think that job is worth. Once i get some replies/guesses i will tell you what the ACTUAL price was.

88Jimmy4x4 · 03-20-2012, 09:22 PM

looks great, just dont ever use a cleaner wax or it will take it right off

Gyawo · 03-20-2012, 09:33 PM

Love the hood. I like that it is just the outline, you don't see that very often, most guys fill in. I am trying to teach myself how to pinstripe right now, and can attest that it is NOT easy!

69BBsuburban · 03-20-2012, 09:35 PM

Looks WAY better than what was on it before.....
But then I'm biased.....

bigwheel15 · 03-20-2012, 11:19 PM

Im pretty jealous, ive been wanting some pinstripe work done on my truck for a while.

westie 666 · 03-21-2012, 02:02 AM

No idea what it cost but worth every cent.

lurch115 · 03-21-2012, 07:06 AM
