Has anyone used a vinyl stripe kit? They sell the racing stripes, but are they any good or are they cheesey.

 

I don't know about the stripes, but I have a vinyl blackout decal. It has been on for quite a while, no bubbles, rips, or edges coming up.

I would assume that it just depends on the quality of the vinyl material / adhesive.

 

I'm not a fan vinyl stripes and I'd rather see them painted but I understand not everyone can afford paint. Most of the vinyl kits I've seen, held up pretty good; So it's up to you.

 

Ive seen a few and there not that bad if done right.

Good Luck

 

try RVINYL.com ive used their products on some interiors ive done before and they have really good quality. never used it on exterior though, but give them a try!

 

Thanks,

I originally wanted some old school purple flames (black car), but I think it would be a little over the top. I just dont want to look like a poser, ya know what I mean?

 

i've had black vinyl stripes on my car for about 4 years and they've held up real well

 

Mine have held up pretty well. As long as they're done correctly it'll look great. Read up on how to install them properly, use lots of soap water and a credit card

 

+1 on the soapy water, but i'd definitely NOT use a credit card. that's a good way to scratch that vinyl up. if it's a lighter color then the scratches won't be as visible, but the first stripe i laid down on my hood i used a credit card and it scratched it to hell. had to pull it off and cut another one. i used a squeegee on the rest and it worked great (sp?). let it sit in the sun for a day or two to dry up and stick real good and you're good to go.

 

oh my bad lol
