I am going to have some "freehand" pinstripes done on my 87 GN. I was going to go with the Orange/Yellow to match the Turbo 6 emblem on the Grand National logo on front fender. I am starting to think this might not blend well with the Blue accents I have under the hood. Does anyone have ANY PICTURES of their cars with Blue Pinstripes or other colors? It seems I have seen some at the GS NATIONALS but could not find any pictures. Thanks in advance!
 
I had a double stripe added when I had my windows tinted 20 years ago.

Free hand tape by someone who was an artist with tint and striping back then.

Blue on top about 1/8" thick and thinner silver blue about 1/16"-3/32" on the bottom.

No close up pictures however.

I still think the two tone blues looked good on my WE4, well, until it got totalled anyway.... :rolleyes:

No comments on the wheels either. :p
 
Thanks SALVAGEV6! Just what I am looking for. I figured if I can not find two shades of blue that look good together I can do the same color with different widths of stripes. Having mine done with a brush and by hand. It's kind of a lost art now but still a few guys around who are good at it. ANYONE ELSE? Thanks

I think it's a good idea to set the car apart from the rest. :cool:

Little yellow stickers are my MVD legal tint stickers. :rolleyes:

Then again I knew it was legal before I had the stickers. :p
