78 Pace Car wheels- red stripe
Can anyone suggest a way to restore the red stripe on the pace car wheels? I think the original is painted on, but are theer decals to replace the painted ones?
Thank you!

I always thought that red stripe looked great, I bought some red pin striping from a local auto parts store and just went around my wheels with it, been on for a few years and still looks good even after using Eagle etching wheel cleaner on them.

Hi RZR,
A friend neeed to do 2 stripes on his Packard wheels.
He made a very simple mechinism that held the pin-stripe tool from Eastwood that worked like a compass that you use for mechanical drafting, only bigger. It turned around the perimeter of the wheel and he could set the position. It wasn't too much work to make and the stripes looked great.
BUT... I'd look for a pin-striper too!!!

Alan
