Pinstripe Install Guide

Before installing, carefully cut out each section from the strips


4-door: 4 pieces per side
2-door: 3 pieces per side

Preparation (VERY IMPORTANT)

  • Clean the car first
  • Wipe the application area with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or soapy water + microfiber
  • Your car cannot be waxed or ceramic coated
  • Fully dry the surface before installing
  • Ideal temp: 60°F-80°F (15°C–27°C)
    Below this, lightly heat the surface with a heat gun


Tools needed

  • Masking tape
  • Squeegee or credit card
  • X-acto knife or scissors
  • Measuring tape

 

Step 1: Start at the Door

  • Begin on the door panel
  • Use masking tape to position the stripe
  • Center the stripe so there is equal material on both sides

Tip:
Measure from a line on the car to the stripe on both ends of the door to keep it straight

Step 2: Cut Excess

  • Cut the excess vinyl on both sides of the door, leave about 1.25 cm (½ inch) past panel gaps
    → This will be tucked later
  • If you have a 4-door go back to step 1 and do the same on the other door

Step 3: Mock Up Rear

  • Align the quarter panel piece with the door stripe

Step 4: Mock Up Fender

  • Align the fender piece with the door stripe

Important: Double-check alignment across all panels

Step 5: Start Installing

  • Peel backing and install around a third of the stripe first
  • Keep slight tension on the vinyl
  • Use a Squeegee or credit card to lay it down

Important: Make sure everything still lines up

Step 6: Set & Peel

  • Squeegee the tranfertape to remove any air
  • Slowly peel off the transfer tape
  • If vinyl lifts, press it back down
