1988 Paint Stripes

Where can I find paint stripe decals for 1988 Bronco II? I currently have a solid white B2 being painted 2 tone, but shop is asking me to find the decal striping.

Searched a few forum posts, but links are now dead. Any sources for stripes would be appreciated! Below is the exact desired color scheme I am seeking. Many thanks!

Go to your local vinyl shop. They can make you IDENTICAL replicas
3m may have something similar in their catalog but it will not be the same

You do NOT want NOS stripes that have been sitting on the shelf for the past 30 years

Pic: Both of these blue kits are available NOS, but as you said, the OP does not want them, because...by now...neither will be any good.

These stripes are composed of two layers, outer stripe layer, inner adhesive layer.

Over time, changes in the temperature causes the outer layer to become stuck to the inner layer, so when you attempt to peel the outer layer off, some/all of the inner layer comes along with it.

This is very good information and most appreciated, Bill! My experience with vinyl shops is they also will not guarantee the decals for more than 1 year. Same with van wraps. Has anyone applied vinyl paint stripe decals with long term success to recommend a vinyl source? Thanks!

I have. They call it HIGH PERFORMANCE vinyl.

These stripes are now 6 years old and still look like the day I had them installed. I no longer own the truck but ran into the guy I sold it to over the summer
