Most of this is self explanatory but for those who don't know here it is anyway.

Items required:

Wheel pinstripe size and color of your choice.
Vinyl rim pinstripe decals wheels bike, car, truck graphics - $12.99 : House of Grafx, Your One Stop Vinyl Shop
Spray bottle with water and dish soap mixture.
Sponge and/or terry cloth.
Cleaning clay.
Rubbing alcohol.
Girlfriend's hair dryer.


Procedure:
1. Spray soap and water scrub wheel with sponge or cloth.
2. Clay bar the area to be pinstriped.
3. On a clean applicator do a final wipe-down with rubbing alcohol.

4. Spray the soap and water mixture onto the cleaned wheel.
5. Peel back first section of vinyl while spraying the vinyl's adhesive with the spray bottle.
6 Carefully maneuver the vinyl onto the wheel in the correct position- avoid contaminating adhesive with dirt and debris.
7. When you are satisfied with the position squeegee water out of the vinyl with your fingers until the vinyl adheres.
8. Use heat gun with light heat not spending too much time in any one area speed up drying. This will make the vinyl stick to the wheel real nice.



9. Repeat steps 4-8 for the next section of vinyl. I overlapped my vinyl about 1/4" between sections. Get creative with scissors to save on the vinyl for the final wheel section as the vinyl connects to create the circle. There's no reason to overlap more than 1"

Final result:

 

Here's a picture further away.

 

I Like This idea wayy better than my reg .."Advanced Auto" Vinyl Pinstripe , i had to do all the curves my self, was a bitch to get all wheels perfect

 

im doing this as soon as my stripes come in!! its taking forever

 

I had my brother do my stock ss wheels. Hes laid alot of pin stripe and took him only a few mins. The hairdryer helps out alot to make it stick. Good write up man.

 

me too!! hope mine come in first buddy

 

me three just waiting on my stripes

 

im gonna rip urs off for copying me

 

what color?? im gold and venom is blue...

 

red.

 

before u ordered em you were like hey jorden, you should get some rim strips they would look good with ur calipers...and showed me wherre to get em too, and now im copy'n u lol

 

u know how i get... i just ramble on..u coming to halloween party!!!??

 

if i can work my way out of workin lol i havnt seen the new schedule yet...

 

u best come!! im going as "kyle" hahaha

 

Good write up sub'd for later

 

so....glasses, newbalance shoes with no tread, camera, and a dr.pepper lolz

 

HAHAHA thats me!!! but no kyle from south park

and change DP to vault...gosh i thought u knew me

 

i doing this what size did u use?

 

Agreed what mm vinyl did you order? I'm doing apple green

 

this is so weird i just saw an evo at the sti vs evo shootout with the similar rims with the same color pin stripe

 

Can you post a super upclose of how the vinyls lay over each other?

 

I love it, Im going to do green but I want to see the color first, how do I do it on that website? I also want to color match the pin stripe when i paint my calipers green also. Rims will be powdercoated black.

 

good idea! this will be the perfect way to cover up the polished lip the black Drag DR-34s that my friend wants to get have. He hates polished lips.

 

i ordered mine offa ebay....search rim stripe and there ya go

i ordered the 5mm for my stock ss/tc rims.....

 

6 mm for 18" (Hyper gray) MSR 045's

I'm not positive if that size would cover up all the red or silver polished lip. 6mm fit into the half circle groove just about perfect. I would assume 7mm to be too large.
