Black stripes

[Shehadehd]

As far as striping the arctic silver box, I've done an offset stripe and chrome badge on the back. The offset stripe is a "ghost" color, so it only comes up in certain lighting and can actually change from a dark gray to a light silver depending on your viewing angle. I'll try taking better shots, but this is what I have for now.




Comparing the two photos, you can kind of see what I mean by the different colors it gives off. It looks pretty OEM in my opinion and is more classy than flashy.

I think the side stripe ties in nicely with white and some of the monochromatic colors.

So this is actually a vinyl stripe. I was looking for a way to give some extra dimension to the car, but in a subtle way. I found this etched vinyl that gives the car a ghosting stripe. The vinyl is clear with scattered frost hazing and so whatever color you put it on gets an "etched" look that varies from a matte version of the color to a high gloss, depending on the lighting angle. I tried taking a couple extra pictures to show you what I mean.

Very interesting. I had assumed the 'ghost stripe' was only possible with a respray. Great to know one can achieve this look without spoiling the original factory paint.
