OK, so I stripe all my gear, bikes, and even a couple of the cars, with reflective pinstripe tape. I'm weird. Let's move on. My mom has a new car - a Chrysler 200. She LOVES this car, but she's a Florida Gator and wants me to stripe it when I visit over Christmas. Just a regular ol' automotive, 1/8" over 3/16" pinstripe...but she wants Gator colors, orange and blue. I can't find any regular pinstripe in dual color orange/blue...nevermind reflective. Don't have to have reflective, but let's face it...mom's 78, driving in Florida (in HER words "the land of the newly-wed and the nearly-dead") - reflective may not be a bad thing, but if I find regular vinyl she'll still be tickled. Anyone have any ideas? Or do I buy two single-color stripes and space them myself...? |

Spacing is not that difficult.....if you can get the first one straight the second one is actually easier. When I lived in Florida, Gator color stripes were available, I did more than one while there. Maybe a local thing. Have you looked that way on line? P.S. That's too bad about her choice of colors. |

You didn't say what colour the car is. |

Cool site, but mom's....boring. She just wants straight-line striping along the body lines. Thanks though I've been digging through Gator fan websites and stuff...no dice. I'll figure something out, even if I have to do singles and try to space them evenly. |
