OK, so I stripe all my gear, bikes, and even a couple of the cars, with reflective pinstripe tape.

I'm weird. Let's move on.

My mom has a new car - a Chrysler 200. She LOVES this car, but she's a Florida Gator and wants me to stripe it when I visit over Christmas. Just a regular ol' automotive, 1/8" over 3/16" pinstripe...but she wants Gator colors, orange and blue.

I can't find any regular pinstripe in dual color orange/blue...nevermind reflective. Don't have to have reflective, but let's face it...mom's 78, driving in Florida (in HER words "the land of the newly-wed and the nearly-dead") - reflective may not be a bad thing, but if I find regular vinyl she'll still be tickled.

Anyone have any ideas? Or do I buy two single-color stripes and space them myself...?

Spacing is not that difficult.....if you can get the first one straight the second one is actually easier.

When I lived in Florida, Gator color stripes were available, I did more than one while there. Maybe a local thing. Have you looked that way on line?

P.S. That's too bad about her choice of colors.

You didn't say what colour the car is.

Cool site, but mom's....boring. She just wants straight-line striping along the body lines.

Thanks though : )

I've been digging through Gator fan websites and stuff...no dice. I'll figure something out, even if I have to do singles and try to space them evenly.
