Bert P. Stripe Kit Installed
Hi all,
I purchased a stripe kit from Bert P. last Fall and had them installed last week.
My decal guy had to make a few changes to the Spoiler decals, as the ones supplied seem to be for the European Spoiler. They were shorter along the edges, and the curve didn't quite work.
I even ordered another set from BMW, using my VIN # and the stripes that I got were identical to the ones Bert supplies.
I'm very happy with the outcome!!
Cheers, Phil

Whatever happened to the art of handpainted pin stripes? We had a guy in high school who made a lot of $$ with a paintbox out of his trunk, a good eye and a steady hand....

Those stripes are too big for hand striping. They could be done with careful masking and an air brush. Not worth the effort or cost. And as Phil said, mine are exact as to the factory stripessansouci wrote:Whatever happened to the art of handpainted pin stripes?

I read quite a while ago that a member here bought a set from Bert,
installed the stripes & was happy. But, after everything was dry & set,
he added clear nail polish to the forward edge, above the turn signal so
it wouldn't peel away while going 150 mph or there abouts.
I was impressed.
Sweet lookin' Six, Phil!
