Primal Decals 621 Posted April 29, 2015 As you see in the picture i had a local pro professionally paint red pin stripes down the sides, there is also 2 on the hood that follow the body line as well and red around the circle on the fog lights(which isnt shown,took picture before it was done) and there is also pin stripes on the rear.. just curious if you guys would do anything else anywhere to this. im open to any ideas to make it pop..As you see red stands out pretty good on this..

dirtrocker 60 Posted May 1, 2015 This Sorry, as an airbrusher, I always go for the skulls. Or this Or carbon fiber look on the center section of the hood. With black, gotta go with something that pops or greyscale/black & white images. Just my opinion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moody Blue 505 Posted May 4, 2015 wrap everything below the stripe in matte black...give the two tone look. I would probably remove the pintstripe and redo it in vinyl too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks Moody.I was kinda thinking of removing the red on the sides or something. the more i keep thinking about it and keep looking at im not impressed with the sides at all..what to do , what to do lol...it was painted with hotshots paint by a pro here, is there a safe remedy of removing the red paint without affecting my original? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 4, 2015 Most on clear can go bye-bye with a pressure washer at a sharp angle. Smooth clear just doesn't give it enough bite. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtrocker 60 Posted May 4, 2015 Check into Plasti-Dip Dip Your Car It's a peel-able coating you can change the color of your car. It holds up pretty well on rocker panels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfatty500 454 Posted May 4, 2015 Your in California, where custom is "King", allegedly. Your "Professional" should know not to put black on red or vice/versa , or white on black/red. Especially without an accent color (or at all). Take it back and have him refund your money and hire a Pro. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moody Blue 505 Posted May 4, 2015 Check into Plasti-Dip Dip Your CarIt's a peel-able coating you can change the color of your car. It holds up pretty well on rocker panels. Gotta use ALOT of this stuff to make it peel easily. A few coats will look good for a little while but really needs to be 5 or 6 good thick even coats to really come out nicely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtrocker 60 Posted May 5, 2015 I've used it on lower rocker panels for 4 wheel drive trucks. Yes, it takes several coats. Besides, it was just a thought. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks everyone for your ideas.whats a safe remover to take off the paint he used? There is no clear coat over the red. He just just brushed it on with a pinstripping brush and thats all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
