I think they look better if you don't go all the way down. Start on the hood and stop on the trunk lid. But that's just my opinion.

 

nice looking good

 

i like them goin all the way down. it looks real sharp

 

To the OP, it looks really good, nice job! Here's mine from a while ago:


Houseofgrafx.com sells a kit for around $80 already precut. You may have to give them a few more measurements because of yours being 4drs but they are easy to contact and easy to work with

 

nice man the pin stipe is real sharp i was think about puttin it down mine too

 

i think black stripes look good on the cobalts.

Shoot me a PM and ill hook it up since i do vinyl

 

bump

 

Anyone have stripes on a black cobalt??

 

I got mine at www.edecals.com, for less than $100.00. I got a 120" strip which will come 2 60" for $89.00 plus shipping. They're 8" stripes with .25" pinstripes.

 

hey joey what paint did you use to paint the rims..are they gloss black or just black..i d been wanting to paint my stockers for awhile

 

i went gloss and it came out great

got a couple more here

 

i feel the same way. like 70 SS chevelle stripes

Looks good all done. Black pinstripes along the edges would really bring them out though. My friend has the same kit same colors car and all and did that, looks great. Love the wheels too, most likely doing that this winter with my stockers.

 

i have a red cobalt ss with 80% window tint and stock rims. i ordered rally racing stripes and i cant decide on what color to get. either black silver or white? and should i paint my rims black?

 

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

 

If you wanna see a red one with white stripes mines on i think the second page. I love the red, white and black mix on cars, I'd do the stockers black too.

 

i love the black and red and u should def paint your stockers black if ur stripes r black. im also a big fan of white stripes. so, to each his own man, all will look great.

 

thanks guys im thinkin black because it will go with all the other black and red stuff like interior. and how much would it cost to paint the rims black. like how much for all the cans of rim paint? and how many do you need?

 

i used i can primer, 3 cans gloss black(to be safe, two might do but this is just incase), and two cans clear coat. the key to the rims is the prepping and the clear coat. sand ur rims really evenly and make sure u tape your tires up good. the real key is just be patient man. make a day out of it and just relax never rush the coats and you will have great results.FYI im doing the same black and red theme throughout and its badass lookin.

 

how many cans of primer? you just sand all the regular paint off? than primer, paint, clear coat? how much did all the paint cost?

 

i used one can primer and probably around 30 bucks plus tape and sanding stuff. go to auto zone and get a praint prepping sanding block. the grit is very low and you just scuff up the rim so the paint adheres better. just make sure u sand evenly for best results though.

 

30 for all the paint? or per can?

and how do you get the center piece to come out... mine wont. btw your rims look pretty good. look just like the powder coated ones and they look like you bought them that way. nice job. oh and my stripes come with pin stipe, should i put that on too?

oh and i dont know if you would know or not. but do you know how to remove vinal from cars? because i got stripes on the side of my car and i want to remove them because im putting rally stripes on.

 

30 for all the paint. i just used duplicolor and it worked great and thks. just focus on your stripes first because if you have never done it before, like i didnt at the time, it takes alot of patience so just be relaxed or you will screw the vinyl up, also like i did but i was able to salvage it with leftover vinyl. just put on the pinstripe when u get satisfied with ur stripes. and as far as removing vinyl you can buy removing liquids specifically for vinyl and they should just come right off.

oh and to get off the center piece i just slipped in a pocketknife and just popped it out. it can be a PITA but there not that bad.

 

what kind of duplicolor? i was looking today and theres like 10 different kinds... like engine paint truck suv paint . ext.. and do you have to spray multiple coats?

 

i used the truck van and suv stuff. as far as coats i did 2 primer, 4-5 gloss, then 5 clear coat. there is a couple how to threads on the site about painting your rims if you want pictures and stuff.
