OK, I've had most of my previous trucks tastefully pinstriped, and been considering having something done on my '08 Denali. I got to playing with some blue painter's tape this morning before work.
I actually used a blue fairly close to the color of this tape on my '05 2500HD CC, and I'm considering a wider blue stripe (like this 3/4" tape), along with a couple of contrasting colors for an upper and lower pinstripe.
Comments or suggestions?
Aww man I thought it said stripping. :LOL:

It would be different I dont think anyone else has it and if you like it go for it.
i like the look of old school pin striping... but thats just me
I like the look of old school pin striping too, but in my opinion not on a new and slick looking truck like yours. The great part about this hobby is it your truck and if you like the look on your truck you can add them. So if you like it sure go for it.
Thanks for all your input, guys.
I have re-thought my design, and believe I'm going to go ahead with some striping, using something like the attached pics. No hood stripe, this design is sorta like the old Yenko designs from back in the late 60's and early 70's.
Just gotta decide on colors now.
Further comments?
That will look good in a matte black
Cool, post up a pic when you get it all done.
FWIW, I like pin stripes that are just that, pin stripes. My personal preference is for two parallel narrow stripes of two different colors. You can follow the same curves as you would with the wider stripes. Kinduv an old school approach. You can keep it subtle or splash it up. You didn't mention how you would have it done. I assume whatever you do you'll find a good paint shop with a good pin stripe man and have it painted by hand not put on with tape.
But than like everyone else has mentioned, it's your ride man, you're the one that's gonna be climbin' in it every day, you gotta like it regardless of what we think.
And yeah, let's see some pics when you're done.
i personally dont like pinstriping
