Vinyl stripes
#2
I would have to recommend against going with vinyl. I put two silver stripes on mine in vinyl and about a year later they had a brownish look to them. Took it back to the guy who put them on and he said it was some sort of mildew/mold. He pulled them off and painted them on for free. He didn't clear them in so now (5 years later) they'er faded and chalky. One of those things I wish I hadn't done altogether. Just thought I'd share my experience with you.

I wouldn't buy cheap stripes. They will fade. mildew, come off in car washes, etc. I would also pay some one olse to install them. Consittering how much money most of us have spent on our cars, saving $100-150 is meaningless on something this highly visable. One year from now do you want to be making excuses about why your stripes loot like crap or why there are bubbles in them or they are not straight.

I got mine from a local sign shop. It's made from the company 3M and it's been on for about 2 years. every so often (6 months) I just get rubbing compound and clean the white stripe from turning color. If i had the money I would of went with paint on stripe.

Well, that is true in MOST cases. However, I sell vinyl decals for less than almost anyone out there and use the highest quality vinyl. Soooo, in my case it may not be true

I'll back Brent up on this. He does great work for a great price! I've ordered from him a number of times.
