Do you guys have any of these stripes for sale? I really just need the tailgate and the RH bed side. Is this the vermillion color? The truck is dark blue (code 29) and grey (code 90)Thanks

Pretty.

I've mentioned this before, but - just for fun -

When those stripes came into the plant they had a protective masking on them.

The stripes were applied to the vehice while it was still in primer. The secondary (inset) color was sprayed on the body side first.

Then, after baking (300 deg for 1/2 hour) the inset area was taped off with butcher paper and the primary color was applied - all over the rest of the truck, inside and out, including inside and out of the pickup box. The truck was baked again at 300 deg for a half hour.

When the paper and protective covering of the stripe were removed - VIOLA! Two tone paint job.

The adhesive body side moldings were applied on the Final line, about a day later, to complete the effect.

Thanks for that info Keith. I'm having the grey center repainted. The stripes are actually pretty nice (a couple of marks on the gate and one on passenger side). I have decided to keep the original look and leave the red. If I can find the nos ones I need I'll replace the gate and passenger bed side. I found the one for the gate last night.
