Pinstriping question

**Cujofreak** · 10-07-2007, 09:01 PM

So i've decided to add some red pinstripes to my black magnum. I have heard the you should use clean nail polish on the wrap-arounds (when cut at the door edges) to keep it from unraveling.

Has anyone done this before?

I have done pinstripes many times before and have never had ends come up.
Just make sure that the surface is clean and try and not stretch the tape too much on the end of the stripe.

Should I be concerned about car washes?
I'm going to wait till next saturday (1 week since painting my grille) until I get my car washes. Should I hand wash for a few weeks to make sure it is securely stuck on or should I be fine to go through touchless washes?

IMO I would say it should be fine. I have never had any issues with this.
I don't know what brand of pinstriping you are using. I have always used standard pinstriping that I got from the local auto parts store (i.e. Kragen, Pepboys).

Ok great,
I'm using Multistripes by Trimbrite. I got that from Canadian tire (an all purose wal-mart type store here in canada).
I'll wait a little while just to make sure, it hasn't been 24hours since applying them so i will wait at least a week.

Thanks very much for the help!

Cujo,

I bought the ones from Advances Auto Parts, and had them on for about 3 months, and no probs what so ever. I took the car through many car washes, and had not peels up. I'll see if I can find a better pic, but this was just recent.
