Alternative to traditional moldings
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have an 80 Scottsdale I'm painting 2 tone orange and white. I originally wanted to add the factory moldings to seperate the 2 colors. After reading quite a few people complain about the difficulty of installing and/or quality of the aftermarket kits I've been considering other options. Has anyone used or done anything different to seperate the 2 tone on 73-80 trucks? Maybe just a simple pinstripe or a different type of molding? Here's an example of ideas I'm looking for. Any pics would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen them airbrushed to separate the colors, looks good, pinstripe would look good also if done right.;)

You would think as many people on this forum that someone would have some good ideas and pics.

I painted a 3/8" stripe to replace the vanished-long-ago 1977 trim.

When i worked at sundance colors we did a 1 inch stripe in silver the added some airbrush color to give it a brush aluminum look. Sorry no pictures.
