Has anyone had stripes put on their car by a reputable company?
I am considering 10" dual stripes, do not want the hassle of trying to do it myself, and need a recommendation for a company in Melbourne to do it.
Cheers

Whoever installs stripes make sure:
1. No blade is used
2. Stripes are cut by plotter
3. Application film is used to install the stripes, no matter what the installer says, they will never be aligned properly without it
4. Make sure they are not using cheaper printable Vinyl as opposed to laminated gloss or Matt finish. Compare the top surface with the sample cards to make sure it's the same material you selected
Printable vinyls are only required when you want printed pinstripes and will need to be laminated after the print before application.
But they can not be cut by plotter - will use blade

I'm getting closer to considering stripes (just need the car to arrive!).

I'm tempted to do it myself, but probably won't.

This 3M site lists accredited installers around Melbourne and some other cities: http://www.designerwraps.com.au/stockists/where-to-get-it-done/

I suppose if they are 3M recommended then you can not go wrong. Any comments?

I notice that VW&G -Vinylwraps in Campbellfield did this 69 Stang:

I don't have stripes, so need them as well. I've had one disaster and am now having second thoughts about anyone touching my car again! Will probably leave her as she is I reckon.
