Good morning , everyone. Today I finally get my vette back from the body shop where I had the Grand Sport stripes done in red put on to the Vette. The shop has had it 4.5 days and last night( Friday) I get a phone call to come and pick it up Sat. after lunch. Owner of the shop said he had some problems getting the stripe top lay right and does not expect me to be happy. C'mon after 4.5 days. Will see this afternoon. If not happy , I am not out anything but my time adnd deprivation of not having the Vette home. I did want it back so I could have gone to Detroit for the Dream Cruise. Hopefully I can get it squared away for the Metro Cruise in Grand Rapids next weekend. Will see what happens this afternoon. Have a good one , people!

How hard is it to degrease the paint, mask off the area... scuff sand, shoot and clear?

Just got back home, stripe looks good - for vinyl. seems the vinyl on the side fender stripes is a gloss and the hood stripe, gas panel, etc are more of a matted finish. I need some sun to let it set outside and see how it looks. For now it does the job. (}-= next step or improvement is wheels. Looking at the Vintique Wheel website and lioke the V40 wheel. basically a old Torque Thrust wheel if you remember back then. Want to paint the black spokes white to match my body color. Will see what happens.

What he said. Where did the guy get the vinyl from - did he cut it himself? One of our members, Don, has some nice vinyl stripes that he's happy with. He can chime in where he got them. Matthew |

I bought the center and back stripes from Corvette Central and the side fender stripes from Eckler's. Why 2 companies- Corvette Central was back ordered on the fender stripes until Oct. I was told.
Posting of pictures - would love to but someone is going to have to explain the process to me. |
