View Full Version : Any Victory Red w/ Silver Stripes?
06_SS_S/C 07-25-2007, 01:41 PM I've found one picture of a red SS with silver stripes, I was just wondering if there were more out there. I'm going ot be using (at least the plan is) metallic silver vinyl and do two stripes about 8" wide down the middle, and I was kinda hoping to see any other pictures out there.
THANKS!!
Coblt ss super 07-25-2007, 01:57 PM hm can i ask y silver and not say black, im just curious thats all
06_SS_S/C 07-25-2007, 02:03 PM I dunno I feel like if I do black then I will need to do other things black to make it look right. I've always like red and silver combos
DARIN616 07-25-2007, 11:40 PM red and silver look great, i always wanted a red s10 extreme with silver racing stripes but that was a long time ago. but no i dont have any pics lol
OrngBalt 07-25-2007, 11:50 PM How about charcoal metallic silver stripers? I just happen to have some for sale... hmmmmm. ;)
xCobalt05x 07-25-2007, 11:56 PM im about to put some silver metalic stripes on to match the interior trim
06_SS_S/C 07-25-2007, 11:56 PM I started up my own vinyl sign shop here about a month ago so I don't need to buy anything. Thanks though. :)
R&C_rallySS 07-26-2007, 12:03 AM Don't have any pics, but I have to agree. Red with silver stripes is very nice. Blue with silver was always my fav. though. Good luck...want some pics when it is done...

sweet, what do you charge to make up something like that? i would def be interested in ordering some stripes from you for my car. but they would have to just be stripes and not pre cut since i have a body kit
06_SS_S/C 07-26-2007, 12:37 AM Vinyl itself is pretty cheap, most of what I charge locally is labor. Depends on if you need it for the entire car or just hood, roof and trunk and what kind of vinyl you want as far as color. The metallic stuff I'm using is more expensive then just flat colors.
Also this is what I'm thinking for design for the hood. Start it 2-4 inches away from the front of the hood and go all the way back with the smaller stripes around the outside. What do you think?

I'm looking at doing the entire car. I have the SS/SC wing. but like i said i have a body kit so i would probably need it to be about 6 to 8 inches longer then what you would cut it for an SS/SC. My body kit has more bumper surface then the factory ones. I'd pretty much just need the 2 long strips and i can cut it myself. Would like to get the same color as the factory silver trim or as close to it as possible
i like the pin striping on the sides of the stripes. cool design but im looking for it to right up to the edge of the hood, down the front of the bumper, back to the roof, the trunk, the wing, and down the back bumper
06_SS_S/C 07-26-2007, 12:49 AM Ya, that is what I'm just planning on doing for my car.
I can go out and measure and see what the total length would be and get you a price. The only silver I have is metallic, so it isn't going to really match that well I dont think. I have a flat grey that might be a closer match. I will go out tomorrow in the sun and see what looks closest.

Autotrimdesign.net That is where i got the ones I am selling. it has a really good shape and design to it. and when i laid it out for a rough look it lookes awesome.
The one thing you have to be careful about with metallic vinyl is it'll fade something fierce in the sun. I work at a sign shop and just last month I replaced stripes on a guy's Grand Prix that were gunmetal metallic on a red car. They look great when new but his old stripes were faded so bad in spots that they looked almost white. Maybe if they had some UV guard on them it might help.
xCobalt05x 07-27-2007, 10:59 PM cool, just let me know what you come up with 06, im pretty sure im going to go with the metalic though.

Well, I'm hoping I can dodge some of that being that I'm up in the northwest and the sun isn't too intense. The car is parked in a garage during the weekend when I'm not out driving. I'm going to be using Oracal 851 which is cast and supposed to give me 6 years on the metallic, so we'll see. Hopefully it does.

xCobalt05x 07-28-2007, 02:53 PM racing stripes on a 14sec. car is rice IMO
thats your opinion. and if that was true then why would they come on a GT mustang from the factory and those cars are a 14 second car? and those are far from rice
SpoiledAlice 07-28-2007, 02:54 PM I love the red and silver combo. Good luck finding some pictures. If all else fails...photoshop it, and see what it looks like.
