Default Show me your pinstripes

Just got a sterling grey '07 extended cab. All grey, it needs something to break it up. Pinstripes is the most common and easiest way.

Post pics of your pinstriping?

Same problem dark shadow grey metallic, I want a pinstripe, not sure what kind. Also my flareside makes things interesting, I've never seen a flareside with a pinstripe

Here's a couple (albeit not very good) of my gray STX. I'm sure I could find a few better in a bit. I believe it was a double 1/16" silver metallic. I liked that it followed the door curve. I couldn't tell you if it was stock or bot though... It was on the truck when I bought it.

My race car and team colors are Grey paint with Orange & White stripes. So, to carry over the team colors subtly, make the pinstripes match team colors?

As an option ive considered before, was to stop mine at the cab like many of the 97-03s did, with mine being a flareside. Just a possibility, i think ill look better continuous though

See in my opinion your truck is too nice (assuming the way it shines in the photo) to go decal it all up with big graphics, if you really wanted to tie in your race car which is really cool by the way, I'd do a thin orange and white pin stripe. Idk who'd make it or what it'd cost though

My thinking, I would have to get two tapes and make the custom stripe myself.


What I am more looking for is ideas on what body lines to follow, how to deal with the "4x4" decal, and the front fender badge.

I believe every pin stripe I've seen so far goes between the bed rail and the 4X4 decal and above the F150 fender badge. I guess the real question is to follow the front door "swoop" if you will. Personally I'd follow it, there are a few that don't they go straight front to back and they look fine. Keep me posted in curious how this will turn out
