white roof no cab trim

[twotrucks]

Looking for some examples of white cab roof without the dividing trim. Trying to see how others may have worked around the lack of trim. My truck has no moldings/trim and I would like to paint roof white when I paint it.

I just went thru this when I painted my 68. The line where the two colors touched looked terrible so this past weekend my painter taped off a 1/4" area and we bagged the whole truck so we could shoot a new stripe in this area. I didn't want to drill holes and install the trim either.

Not perfect, but that's how I did it.

Mine doesn't have trim at all.

That turned out nice cooper.

In my opinion white vans are a signature of this era really sets them off

I would think even some of the wide pin striping material would do the trick too

Thanks. I agree, the white roof cap sets these trucks off. I would have gone with a nice pin stripe but there was a little bugger over an 1/8" wide so I elected to do the 1/4" stripe. I think I would have liked it a little better if it would have been thinner and possibly a little lighter?

That does look good cooperhw. Thanks

Cool. Let us know how you solve this issue. I always like to see "another way".

Here's how I ran it....totally winged it. Thinking a red pinstripe may be in order once the hellish wet sanding is done.

That looks good. I also wanted just a pinstripe, but needed a little wider.

I do have the advantage of a short headache rack to confuse the eye across the back...leaving just the cab radii on either side but I think I'd do it again this way. Appreciate the compliment and good luck.

Just wing it!
