Hey Steve,

Is there a stencil for the Manta stripe (or even the version you did) available somewhere or do you just have to find a painter that's good enough to symetrically freehand that on your car. I've been wanting a Manta stripe for about four years now but I afraid to let someone do without knowing how it will look when completed.

Any GOOD painter should be able to stencil it by looking at that pic.. it really follows the hood lines pretty closely..

The back stripe ties it all in together and gives the car a cohesive look. Many people thought it came from the factory with the stripes.

On guy has done them in red on a black car and I know someone local who did it in pewter on a black car..

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery..

Oh, and they lay it out with tape first so you can see how it will flow. I am sure a vinal place could duplicate it also but I like paint.

3rdgendecals.com has the front manta stripe, but not the back stripe. I emailed them to see if they could produce it, but I haven't recieved any reply. Wonder who could make it out of vinyl..
