Did a little messing around with some cheap pinstripe tape, it looks a little orange/pink in certain light which is kind of annoying but I think I like it. Breaks up the black.

I did the front grill as well, I did the top bar and the bottom bar to kind of keep a theme with the rear.

I need to figure out something for the side of the truck no but it's really easy to go overboard with pin striping, I was fighting it.

So far so good! I think I'll do another coat this year as it's looking a little grey'ish which I think is from using wheel cleaner on it.

Truck looks good I like the blacked out look. Plastic Dip has a clear spray also that I put on top of mine which helps with the fading and wear issues. Some Home Depot's carry it but I ordered it online.

I need some help with the side of the truck, I think I need to tie a bit more red into the bed area maybe?

An outline with the red pinstripe of the appearance package hockey sticks would be cool.

oooooh, that's going to take one keen eye and a steady hand. I like the idea though!

So you would end up with something similar to this without the matte black in the middle. The top line runs on that body crease so that would be easy to lay. They way to go about it is one long piece from front to back then cut it at the doors and the bed that way it's a perfectly straight line.

I see what you mean about the body lines! I just don't think I can make those 90's. I like it though thanks for finding that!

Pin striping bends very easily.
