Talking What color pin stripe to use ? ALL of them

I was messing around with some stripes. Could'nt decide on a color, So i'm gonna use all of them. Pictures do not show the real deal. I'll get some pics in daylight this weekend. When the sun hits it , It is like a pink floyd laser light show. I did'nt think i'd like it. I was wrong. I will redo them after a dewaxing, As they were put over fresh wax for easy removal. In the dark , Just a small amount of light , Lights them up. Looking at the reflection in a store front , I almost crashed.

I've got it running all the way to the grill , But i think i'm gonna stop them a few inches before the grill. Whatcha think freinds ?
Keeper or weeper ?

BATMAN,
I really dig the 'rainbow' effect. What color are the stripes in the daytime? Where'd ya get 'em?
Can't wait for daytime picts.
Keeper, for sure...
I think you should stop them a few inches before the grill.

s&c,
Those stripes are unique, but not my cup of tea...

Thanks guys, Prism tape has come a long way from the days of trans am dash boards, Its more of a holigraphic -(spelling) look. Heres a couple of pics from today, Take into account that it's dirty and covered with sap. (dam trees ) And still a picture does not show the real effect that you see with your eyes when your 10 feet away.

It's just a silver stripe when the lights not hitting it. And it will all be redone with about a 5-6 inch stop from the grill. And a bit more time spent on the stop cuts at the seems, But still pretty happy for a first attempt.


And Harley , "I Got You Babe"
