does anyone know an easy and a cheap way to put on some racing stripes? like painting it myself with something. any ideas would be great

 

what are you talking about?

 

sry i didn't make myself a little more clear, i want to have stripes like these

 

1. sand large area carefully with 400-800 grit sand paper
2. mask off area to be stripped
3. spray paint wait until dry
4. sand down with 800-2000 grit sand paper to remove ridges and make it smooth
5. remove masking and mask off entire large area
6. clear coat wait until cured
7 sand with 800-2000 grit sandpaper.
8. use rubbing compound compound
9. use polishing compound
10. step back and admire your work.

or:

1. buy a vinyl at autozone
2. apply vinyl from autozone
3. step backand admire your work.

 

nice last steps, thanks for the help. would any paint do?

 

automotive paint. make sure it is automotive paint. Go to duplicolor's website for training on their different types of paint.

 

definitly try it with some vinyl first, it can look great, is even right out of the box so its alot easier then painting, plus if you dont like the look, it peels off. wink1.gif

 

yes, i would definately do vinyl on our cars.. i think i have only seen ONE tiburon with a stripe that looked good, and it was one stripe, and was offset to one side.. he had a silver car, with a gunmetal stripe.

 

^^ pssht... you just don't have good taste is all...

 

lol, taste is just someones opinion.. my taste is good taste to me, and your taste is good to you..
