Default Correct 2 Tone stripes

Ok. so I ordered the "red" 2 tone decal kit for the silver/claret two tone colors from Ecklers who get sells the ones from Phoenix Graphics (factory shipped)

https://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corv...1981-1982.html



I got the kit today and peaked inside to see what the stripe looked like. Its not even close....it should have a bright red stripe in it to make it "pop"
Anyone know where I can get a the correct color stripe?

Have to agree with you Tommy, not much "POP" there.

Unless the protective clear mastic that is covering the actual top surface of the stripe is throwing the color off and making it not look so vibrant.

I am actually more concerned about the darker claret stripe..it looks to light compares to the photo of the car you posted a photo of.

Get a hold of the manufacturer and get them to look at this thread you started and see what they are going to do. Hopefully they do not say that they have sold hundreds of these stripes and no one has every complained about them.
