I however not fond of flat black on the red car it changes the look of the red and seems to make it less shiny.
No offense Joker I love you're SS. its just the flat black does something to the red and you had no choice. Gloss black would probably not look good on a red car ether. It looks like I am stuck on white. I also dont like the red car without stripes to much red. Verts are ok cus the black top.

John you sure have a lot of talent to tackle a project like this. I admire you're work that car looks better now.

None taken. Everyone has individual preferences and tastes. And yes, I had no choice.

John has done an outstanding job on these stripes and I think it looks really good. I have always liked the black w/ flat black stripe combo.

Since I had used it to place the lettering on earlier all I had to do was wet the back of the stencil and place it over the S and the Y and then replace the letters. Done!!!

Looks Incredible....really nice

I treat mine just like the rest of my car (for the most part). I wash it with McGuiers (sp) and occasionally use ICE on it. You just want to make sure you keep the oils off it. On that note... I spilled about a half bottle of tire shine on my hood (don't ask me how) and the stripes looked badly stained. I thought I was going to have to remove them. I washed them about three times and it removed all the oils and the stripes looked good as new!
