Default Body Shop Guys come in-question

Have you ever ran unto a problem getting a pinstripe when just doing one panel and had to go to a decal shop to have them computer match the one you have? Is that possible? I have run into problems finding the same stripe and it matches the bottom color of the truck so it needs to be right. I show the truck so I am trying to figure something out. I have been around town and can't find the stripe at automotive supply places. Any help?

Replacing all the stripe is a problem because they don't have anything close to the bottom color of the truck. So starting over when a different stripe might not match the truck. Everyone likes the stripe on my truck so I am trying to figure out what to do. I know you guys know all the tricks. Any on line companies do matching up?

It is a basic factory looking pinstripe in two colors. One matches the bottom of the truck color. I will borrow my friends camera and take some pics to post. Thanks.

yea well if its just a regular pin stripe... youll have to get two rolls in the colors you need and sizes and really what you have to do is stripe it twice once in one color and once in the other and only leave the stripe you need and peel the other one off... if its one stripe in two color you should be able to get it from the dealer but they are pricey.... take some pics ...

Go to your local part store and they will match it for you.
