3M Striping Tape
Hi everyone,
Here's a couple of pics of my 28 with the name on it and also the panel stripes in gold that I did. The local pinstripe guys wanted around $600 to pinstripe it so I did it myself for less than $35 using 3M scotchcal striping tape and 1" gold letters from Hobby Lobby which I outlined with a black permanent magic marker. A nice coat of wax over everything and it's perfect. This isn't everyone's cup of tea but I like the effect it creates. Not overwhelming, just subtle with the outlined panels. Since I live in Texas, the name Chupacabra just came to me. For those who don't know about this creature, here's a discription I got off the internet.
The most common description of the chupacabra is a reptile-like creature, appearing to have leathery or scaly skin and sharp spines or quills running down its back. This form stands approximately 3 to 4 feet high, and stands and hops in a similar fashion to a kangaroo. In at least one sighting, the creature was reported to hop 20 feet. This variety is said to have a dog or panther-like nose and face, a forked tongue, and large fangs. It is said to hiss and screech when alarmed, as well as leave behind a sulfuric stench. When it screeches, some reports assert that the chupacabras' eyes glow an unusual red which gives the witnesses nausea.
Have a great day and keep the shiny side up,
Milner
