Default New Stripes

Spent the weekend doing some stripes. They are carbon flash from Vettestripes. Install was pretty simple, prep the surface and pay attention to the placement.

Not your normal GM stripes. Painted on and then Clear coated over.

Any tips or tricks for us newbies thinking about doing our own? I long time ago I played with this on other cars but bubbles always were a problem.

I had no issues with bubbles. Make sure you buy a felt covered squeegee so you do not scratch the stripes. I didn't like the guide center stripes, so I used a tape measure and made the space a bit larger. Take your time but anyone can do it.
