Custom racing stripes can be installed on your vehicle in just about any size, shape and color. The vinyl can either be selected from a stock manufactured color, or custom printed. We strongly recommend choosing a cast vinyl in a stock color from one of our preferred manufacturers, Oracal, 3M or Avery. All three of these manufacturers make excellent and durable cast vinyl materials that are a solid color all the way through. With hundreds of colors to chose from, and several finishes including matte, gloss, metallics, brushed and carbon fibre materials, it is likely you can find exactly what you are looking for from one of these companies. The best way to choose a color is to visit our facility and look at samples outside in the daylight so that you can see exactly how they are going to look on your vehicle. If you don’t find the exact color you are looking for in one of the sample books of vinyls, then we can also print custom colors onto vehicle grade vinyl. The printed material will last for several years, but if you are looking for something more permanent, we recommend the cast vinyls in solid colors.
Installation of racing stripes takes patience, expertise and skill. We strongly suggest purchasing your vehicle stripe material from a certified installer and having it professionally installed. Many people come to us to have cheap vinyl that they purchased online and attempted to install themselves removed, so that we can then properly install the stripes. Don’t let this happen to you! Be aware – 3M and other quality manufacturers make lots and lots of types and grades of vinyls. Some of these adhesive-backed vinyls are appropriate for vehicles and some are not. While they make look the same on the outside, an indoor sign-grade vinyl is manufactured differently from a vehicle-grade vinyl and will not perform the same. You can purchase very cheap sign vinyl from 3M online, but even our installers would have a difficult time installing that material on a car. Conformable vehicle grade vinyl is a must if you plan to have racing stripes successfully installed on your car, truck, boat or other vehicle.
