E-Bodies.org Cuda Challenger Forum

Hey everyone,

As mentioned earlier, I removed the longitudinal vinyl stripes from my 70 Challenger and ordered a BumbleBee stencil.

Ideally, the BB stripe is painted on before the clear coat, although that is not the case here as this is a painted and clear coated car that I am adding the BB stripe to it. 

My question, what's the best way for a professional painter (not me) to apply the BB stripe and clear coat without having a big edge as it hits the existing paint and clear coat?  Is it possible to wet sand the edges a little or another means or will I be stuck with a distinctive edge, much the same as applying a decal?

Re-clear the trunk lid and quarters with the stripe application.  :alan2cents:

Paint it with single stage and live with a slight edge. IMO  It would look and feel about like a vinyl stripe.

I agree with Shane. Less coats the better.

@RUNCHARGER (https://forum.e-bodies.org/mlist/runcharger_192) Looking at your bumblebee stripe while I prepare to put one on my car. Not going with a stencil kit, just going to lay it out. I've seen several different methods to wrap the stripe under the bumper. Is there a correct way to do it? Here are a couple others that I have found.
