    Accented the windows, door handles, and right above the fog lights.... Also plastidipped the front emblem white and might paint a little red in there too. I can post tailgate pics later.

    ive got experience with vinyl pinstriping. I design it on the computer then send it through the plotter. Did you use vinyl or paint? Vinyl is more forgiving, especially in times of regret

    That's a nice job on that pinstriping!. I figure the trees'll take care of any pinstriping I'll be getting.

    He used paint but put a stencil down first. I don't think he's done any lines as long as this before, but I trusted him and I think it looks pretty damn good for doing this job for free. He's a tattoo artist but has been pinstriping a lot of different things for the past couple years.

    There are definitely a few imperfections here and there... but I like it. I know what you mean about vinyl striping but I just let him do his thing.

    It's your truck and you seem to like it, so cool. I need your friends name so I can be sure not to let him near my truck with a brush though. Not that the quality is bad, pinstriping is just not my thing.

    Nothing over it... I'm going to give it a day and then wash it and put a coat of wax over it... so we'll see how it holds up.

    Btw, that is a Nascar Modified in the reflection. My younger brother races Nascar Whelen Modified Tour, among other series as well. This picture down below is of his tour type modified.

    I had pinstrips painted on my Taco two weeks after purchase. Had them done in red and black to match the colors of the TRD logo. The gentleman has been doing it for 50 years but it's becoming a lost art.
