New pinstripes

[ITSONLYABUICK]

I was getting a little bored with the all black paint. There are not any badges so the car is completely blank. I had the pinstripe guy lay down some hand painted stripes that match to colors of the "b" on the wheel caps.

would have also looked nice with a red and silver strip. Stripes aren't my cup of tea but it looks like he did a good job non the less.

Deja-Vu

Looks similar to stripes I had "painted" on my GN back in 2007--I had color-matched the "Turbo-6 swoosh" (what you referred to as "b" on wheel centers) colors on my still-existing side badges.

In 2010, took attached pix after refurbishing/installing "GNX-similar wheels", by Enkei.

pin stripes

Your car looks awesome. Shows good taste. They say mimicry is the highest form of admiration. I'm going to be a copy cat one of these days.

Thanks!

[somewhat sad to now report, but the "new owner" is now having the car repainted--guess one can do that if one has access to their own body shop & idle cash,,,car really didn't need it though IMO...]

Yeah I like it also. I had that on my GN back in 1997-2001....sold
I had a thicker orange and red strip going down the car. Starting thin in front and getting thicker towards the rear. The only thing I didn't like was the attention from a certain group of "menish" men down here in in Ft. Laudrdale FL. that have a thing for bright and rainbow colors, if you know what I mean

Not that there is anything wrong with that

Flat Boosted - HA HA HA.... definitely no "Rainbows"

Turbo Monte 2 - I read the story on Molly who designed the GN. The swoosh is actually a lower case b.

Thanks everyone else for the comments.

I agree, no rainbows.

Im serious though, I loved the way it looked, just not the way they looked at me.

It really does look nice though :wink:

I didn't know!---the swirling, turboish 6 definitely makes more sense to me...

I'm not a fan of stripes. Didn't even do them back onto my gn that had red ones but, I have to say yours came out very nice indeed. I like it alot.

 

[ITSONLYABUICK]

Oh...forgot to add that it only cost me $40.

 

[st1nger]

oh thats just mean 40 bucks thats just mean lol

 

[Squid4life]

Looks good! I like the idea of the colors too!

Ouch--and I thought I got a good deal @ $100,,,must have been the "expensive paint"

I work at a car dealership so I got the guy that does all the other striping to do mine. I guess he gave me a deal since he does so many cars. He has those "screen prints" too, but the only Buick one was the triple shield logo. I didn't want that one.
