pinstriping
Has anybody had their HHR pinstriped ? ( I mean paint not tape) How much does it generaly cost? How much striping did you have done? Any regrets after you did it? I'm interested in your thoughts on this. Thanks

I thought about having mine painted on...but decided to go the tape route. That way if I want to change it down the road it can be ripped off and replaced with something new. Here's a close up of mine which is Light Gold Metallic. I paid about $60 to have mind done. You can see other photos in my photo gallery.

It all depends on what you want, and how much you want to pay. A friend of mine does striping, vehicle lettering (fire apparatus a specialty) and other work. He gets darned good money for darned nice work. He will also work with the tape striping. I bought some made by Sharpline Converting. 3 small white stripes. He's going to help with this gratis. He would probably charge between $75.00 - $100.00 for something like this (including materials). So, the decision is up to you. If you go painted, make sure you get someone with great references and some primo examples of work you can check out.

I am practicing again, I have striped all of my life, but have not practiced for about ten years...if the touch isn't gone I will be going out to runs as a vendor if not later this year,definitely next, will be striping my HHR as soon as the touch has returned...Of course members here will see a substancial discount...Suggestion, use tape or a grease pencil, study decide before hand the design you are looking for, check a striping artist named Kafka, he is working in a stlye that I will emulate, but not copy...he also has price ranges for some of his work...He is amazing.
