DIY Stinger Stripe

Rolled my own stinger stripe!

Made from 3M GLOSS Black Metallic G212 Scotchprint Car Wrap Vinyl Film 1080 Series. Also used the vinyl to cover the front grill orthodontia.

The 3'x5' vinyl set me back $40, and there's a lot left over.

Hmmm...looks like a DIY project I could try. Any suggestions as to where to buy the vinyl?

Thanks!

Perfect! Now do the top and the rear deck. And when you're finished you can come over and do my Z07 - when it gets here.

Looks great! Now you need to change out the tire lug nuts to black.

Barry, did you need to use lots of soapy water to get it to adhere?

Also how did you cut it perfectly?

If you have photos of the steps you took too, that'd be super helpful.

It looks really well done.
