I think you made up my mind. I want old man stripes now. Should look good with my tires tucked under the fenders, stock tailpipe & AAA sticker in back window. Now to find a fine line artist in Florida I like.

Yes and no. Taste is always subjective, but style sometimes takes advice. It’s posted to see if my son and wife were right. Yes they were.
There are some very popular accessories that I see installed on new trucks that scream old man to me. There are also some that scream ‘kid stuff” that I want to completely avoid doing.
Some I have to ask.
I guess just by me asking the question...answers my question.

Really, the only reason I wanted to strip in some blues was to match the boat.
I’ve got two sets of different shades of blue FX4 decals to replace the red stock set. That may be

Look up East Coast Sledz in Holly Hill. Have him hook you up with Mikey the pinstriper.

Star White, which is the new White Platinum is a very classy color so you made the right choice.

☝️ Agree with GABAR. However, if it was a two tone, that would be a hard decision.

1st, If .. you want a Stripe, I'd lay it out with Tape first. 2nd, I'd apply it along the Belt Line, ( where the Power Stroke Emblem is ) and not on the Upper Body Crease below the Windows. I totally agree with A Cobalt or Royal Blue. Remember, its an Accent, less is more. Could be pretty sharp ..

I am an old fart, but I never liked pin strips. I don’t care how good they look when applied, all I have ever seen after about 10 or 15 years look like crap.

This isn’t my truck, but it will be exactly like this one with roof lights.
It does look pretty clean and classy on its own.
Like I said, I’ve never ordered white, so the lack of color throws me off a bit..
IMO..Clean and waxed is just important for white as it is for black.
I may tint the front windows with Crystalline to give it more white/black contrast.

I just picked up my Star White KR with the FX4 and I had my stripe guy paint a three color to match the FX4 colors and it looks amazing. If I was smart enough to post pics from my phone I would....

Boy I Love Losing Superbowls....just sayin'

I still have scars from 91-92 losses to the Cowboys..LOL.

If it’s on your phone, just click reply, then “go advanced”. It’ll walk you through it. It’s easy.
