Stencils & Stripes

Anybody got a stripe kit from this place? I called them about the brilliant blue factory stripe kit and the phone just rings forever.

Re: Stencils & Stripes

Hit up your local sign shop, and ask them about vinyl stripes (like A9 Avery material), or paint mask material. The A9 would be good for vinyl stripes, or the paint mask material, to use as a pattern, to outline the stripes for painting.

What is great about vinyl is the variety & durability.

I've been doing vinyl for about 8 years, at a sign shop. From vinyl, to back lit neon letters, billboards, you name it, I've done it...

Did my wife's 90 RS years ago, before we got the whole car repainted, and the stripes painted on.

Now, I just do vinyl from home, as a hobby/side business.

Re: Stencils & Stripes

I've always used Phoenix Graphix, great quality and customer service. I'd try them if you have no luck with Stencils & Stripes.

It is a small operation, so you might not get him first try.

Re: Stencils & Stripes

i discovered that Phoenix Graphix supplys Year One and just about all of the other resto houses, so I figured it must be decent quality...

You are most welcome, happy to help.

Which is why I don't try reproducing licensed stuff. No licensing fees, etc. If I do something, the $ is MINE.

Besides, you can get REAL close, without copyright infringement/messing with licensing issues.
