I think the color is fine, only thing i would change is take that angle off and just run it straight

If you want it to look incredible, find a custom pinstripe "artist" in your area. These are guys that actually paint the pinstripe on by hand with some pretty wierd looking pinstripe brushes. Call around to your local custom hodrod shops and check out the work they do, its amazing!

I thought of that,But I plan on possibly painting the beige parts black to match the truck if I end up going the big wheel look, Which I will get to early next year so I wanted something Temporary that I could tear off when ready.I think youre right on about the angle now that I look at it.

How's this? You can see my (Champagne color) pinstriping in my gallery. Unfortunately I don't know how to post the pic as part of the message.

Here are 2 pics of PC Poppy's truck w/pinstriping:


Looks good, PC. I'm thinking about removing the 4x4 decals from my truck and adding pinstriping...

I want pinstriping, but am not sure what color would look good on my Tan Terror. Black?

dzervit,

Black would probably be good, but you might want to talk to someone who does pinstriping for the dealers to see if they recommend a particular color/design for your truck. I plan on doing that to see if they have any ideas that I really like.

I got my pinstripe from a local napa parts store and had a body shop put it on.

Mine matches close to the bottom tan color.
