Stripes
Hey there everyone, I have been working hard on my car to have it looking more presentable by the time I arrive at the Nationals.
Can anyone tell me in regards to teh stripes, some cars have a second skinny pinstripe beside the 2 main stripes. How far from the main stripes are these and how wide is this second stripe? Or is there no set dimensions? If no set dimensions can I see some pics of your stripes so I get an idea of how they look, and if you could include the above measurements that would be great. |

No rules on the thin side stripes, just whatever you and the painter think look good! Glyn |
Thanks Glyn, I thought that might have been the case.

The line marking tape I used Dave is 6mm wide. It is plastic and stretches around curves ect. Any auto paint supply joint will have it.
When I marked mine I thought that the second line would look good with that 6mm gap. Make sure you use the right tape though as the paint will bleed under normal masking tape. Gav |
Or you could choose to run no pinstripe......
Original race cobras had plain stripes.... no pinstripe... But yeah i think the trend amongst pinstripers is 6mm gap with a 6mm pinstripe. 400TT will have all the info on stripes. http://videos.streetfire.net/photo/o...ra_1022710.htm Towmaster |
Thin stripes
David,
I have the thin stripes to the outer edges of the main stripes. They are 6mm wide and 6mm gaped from the main stripes. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...d_day_2005.jpg |
Well it looks like I got lucky.
I have no internet at home (puter crashed) so I did not see any of these messages after 5.00pm Friday. When I was at Supercheap on Saturday morning grabbing masking tape and some gp thinners to clean my gun, I spotted a roll of 6mm tape and grabbed it. After marking out for my stripes at a guess, it did not look right with my colors so I pulled it all off and looked at the roll of 6mm, I layed a strip of this down beside the main stripe and thought it looked right, also though the same size stripe was about right so masked up a 6mm stripe, painted it and was pleased. |
