Local Vinyl Pinstriping
 
Hey, I am looking to get some auto pinstriping done but don't know who does good work. I have to assume vinyl is the best option as paint would require every part touched to be sanded down and re-clear coated. I am in the Minneapolis area, and hoping to hear if anyone knows any businesses they would recommend. Thanks in advance!

Was thinking of this taking the brilliant design by 311RS and adding my own touch. Am I calling it the wrong thing? I figured paint would be way expensive....

Oh, I was thinking the small "pinstripe" type they use to do. Thats more of a graphic, any graphic design or vinyl place could do that for you.

Happen to know of any good ones? I am a bit... overprotective. If anyone has experience with a good graphics or vinyl place, I'd love to give them my business. I am told the 311RS is actually a paint job... seems expensive. Wouldn't one need to sand all those panels off of their clear? Spray the blue (black in my case) and then respray the entire panel? So, entire front bumper, quarter, doors, and rear bumper?

I wouldn't paint it on. What happens when you want sell? Might limit your market. Vinyl for sure, plus if it doesn't turn out as planned, peel off.

I vote leave the wicked white alone! It's sexy as is.

or just paint using the plastidip, then you can still peel off.
