pinstripes
Hi,
Does anyone know of a good source for factory pinstripes for a 1993 F150? I have done a search and didn't come up with anything. I took the factory stripes off my truck because they were peeling and chipping and faded out real bad. I would like to order a new set and put them back on. Thanks for your time.

Dude, now is the time to experiment a bit and go crazy with some of the ultra cool new designs and graphics that they have at any decent speed/aftermarket house. Unless of course you WANT to stay stock - which is kewl too - I guess. SIGH! Just a thought for ya.
Cheers!

The factory ones on my 88 are one piece, about 3/4 wide grey with a 1/4 red strip down the center, but all one stripe.
To reproduce that just go to an auto body supply and they should stock a solid wide strip, then just put the narrow one down the center

Hey,
Thanks for your replies and suggestions. I am going to check out the link someone posted pertaining to factory stripes. My truck is black, ext. cab stepside with silver at the very bottom. It has a small tri-color stripe seperating the black from the silver. And then, the same stripes only bigger along the sides about where the door handles are. Only thing, the stripes are silver, purple and pink. UGGHH!!!!! Felixr, I removed them by using a round eraser type wheel that fits on the end of a drill. It is made for removing pinstripes. I bought it at an O'Rielly's parts store, but any paint and bodywork supply house should carry them. It works wonderfully! It removes the stripes and adhesive at the same time without dulling the paint underneath. I had tried everything, including goo-gone, oops, simple green, etc.
