Stripe Selector

*venom* · 09-29-2006, 07:00 AM

My brother had posted this a while back so I thought I would bring it back to help some of you. You dont have to be safe and get black or silver there are many other colors to chose from. 94-04 should stay with an 8in with pins and 05 up 10in. I have up my stang with 8in other members feel free to post your stripes. Enjoy

Venom... I think if I ever saw your car in person, I might just be inclined to dry hump it.. Yeah.. Actually I think it would be more like convulsing on it..

And I just realyzed.. This is another dead thread revived by Pilks!

Venom...the car is sick.

*venom* · 12-18-2006, 12:25 PM

Thanks another one back from the grave. Hopefully I can get it painted soon and will be 100x meaner.

Hey Venom - Can you provide some specs on your stripes? I've got a Black 94 GT Conv that I want to stripe, but with gold vice silver (interior's tan). I know the 94's have 8", but how about the pins, and the distances between stripes and distance from stripes to pins. BTW - where's you find the info on the stripes?

PureStang · 01-22-2007, 01:34 PM

rallystripes.com is where theyre from. its the 8" w/ pin striping kit. the big stripes are 1" apart and the pin striping are 1/4" apart

Looks good!

I used blue painters tape 1/2 to do the spacing inbetween the 8in stipes. The pinstripes I just eyeballed it. The most important thing is to make sure that when you lay down the painters tape that its centered take your time and you could do each panel one day at a time. Dont rush and use lots of the solution mixture if you mess up just unpeel it add some more of the water alchohol and soap mixture redo it but make sure paint is smooth with no dirt you may want to clay bar it before adding stripes. When its on right dont be afraid to use a hairdryer to shape the curves and help dry the stripes just dont get it to hot or you will melt it or it will stretch out the vinly which is good when going around curves but bad when going straight.

I know this thread is old as shit, but i'm thinking about doing the rallystripes.com 8" pin stripe thing. Any ideas on color? I was thinking dark blue, i'd need matching bumper inserts.

*venom* · 09-14-2007, 08:04 PM

I would not do vinly stripes if you live in a hot climate and car is directly in sunlight alot. I have removed the stripes because they were showing signs of deterioration. It was extremely hard to remove the glue and for me It would not be worth doing it a 2nd time as they only lasted 2years. Granted I live in Florida but 2 years is not enough. For me getting them painted is what Im going to do but have put it off since car is not done yet.

Jack also had the same issue so its not if this will happen but when. To me it seems like its an issue with the quality of film more than anything else. Im not sure if the quality of stripe that rallystripe.com uses but I would want to use something thicker with some UV protection. I would ask how many years the film lasts and if it has UV protection.

*JackThe Ripper* · 09-14-2007, 08:34 PM

+1, they were a pain in the arse to get off. I was about 3/4 done when i had the brilliant idea of yanking off the vinyl, then putting paper towels on the residue then soaking that with 3m adhesive remover, then covering it with saran wrap and letting it sit of 15 min. The residue turned into a fluffy jelly and wiped right off.

even knowing that in retrspect it would have still taken 6-7 hours to get them all off at LEAST.

Vinyl Stripes FTL.

then again... rallystripes is what, 40 bucks a kit?

as long as you take car of them you should get a few years outta them

*JackThe Ripper* · 09-14-2007, 08:36 PM

Hey venom, not to jack the thread, but what is with the white hood? isnt that carbon fiber?

zigzagg321 · 09-14-2007, 08:37 PM

I was wondering the same thing.

Steeda97 · 09-14-2007, 10:06 PM

I don't really live in a hot climate. New Jersey, haha. 2 years in Florida probably means 5 years here, and i don't think i'll have the car in a year or so. (looking to upgrade in about a year). I just wanted to spruce shit up. Make it a little unique.

Its Carbon composite, does something special

. Not sure but I think its easier to paint.

Steeda97 · 09-16-2007, 08:33 PM

So anyone have any ideas for color? haha.

Mixedbreed02GT · 09-17-2007, 03:48 PM

you know it would be cool, if someone could design a program that would let you

select the year of mustang
the wheels
the spoiler
the sidescoops
hood scoops
stripes
hoods
sideskirts
and other accessories

and then the image would be rendered to your specificications, so that you could actually see a computer model concept of what your car would look like when it was all done.

*venom* · 09-17-2007, 06:44 PM

I would add stripes after the car has been lowered and a chin spoiler or another more aggresive front bumper thats lower than stock plus wheels. Racing stripes dont look right on the a stang,well that doesnt look like a race car. I dont see that you have lowered your car.

The chin spoiler should be in today. I'll be lowering it soon, probably within the next couple months.
