Default Questions about stripes

Ok here is my car with metallic silver vinyl stripes

They are starting to fade badly and are dirty and nothing will clean them unless someone knows something that can clean vinyl, but i was going to remove them... now the local guy at my Maaco shop told me he would paint from my rear decklid to the front of my bumper , stripes and clear coat them for $250... now ive seen other work he has done and its turned out wonderful, but it seems as though the price is really cheap......

thoughts, comments, ideas

Motorhomes and boats typically have vinyl stripes, so I'd check a motorhome or boat supply place for vinyl cleaners and protectants.

I've heard good and bad on Maaco paint jobs; and alot of times, it depends on the actual shop location. There are several Maacos in my city,but I only hear of 2 that are recommended. $250 is cheap for painted stripes, obviously. If you've seen their work, and if they guarantee their work, I would do it.

I would personally get the Maaco to do it, if you can trust the guy and you know he does good stuff go w/ it. also it would be cheaper than getting new stripes/install.

by the way where did you get your rims? are they roush like clones?
