hi this is my first post on here but i have always lived in socal. i have a red 97 gts twin turbo in progress build and an 04 red srt.
anyways, i had a question about getting stripes painted on my gts. right now i have silver fake stripes and having friends with striped acr's and blue/whites, mine just looks cheap and ugly when im parked next to them. i want to get the real things painted on. i wanted silver stripes.
can anyone recommend a paint shop that could do this. thanks in advance
Yes.
Where are you located?
There is a shop in LA that can do this and another one in OC.
I just had an aftermarket hood painted by a local shop in OC, stripes and all. It came out very good.

Don't tell him unless he's a member !! ;D and buys us all breakfast !
LA or OC are both the same distance from me but i would prefer OC because the roads are better. What is the name of the shop and if you dont mind, how much did you pay for your hood? I wanted to get some idea.
and sure i dont mind springing for breakfast but it will have to be after my TT build is finished because right now im searching the couch for change :(
LS6 Molester,
I had my GTS hood painted at McLaren Unibody. Phone: 949-855-0145. Ask for Brian. Tell him Dan (the guy with the Vipers) sent you.
Their shop is in Lake Forest. I have had them repaint a fascia and fender on my black SRT-10, a side sill on my white / blue 06 coupe (wife went four wheeling) and the new hood on my red / silver GTS. All paint work was quite good.
I bought the GTS hood from Autoform Development. Check their website for prices (I can't remember but guess about 3K). It is a fiberglass pin on type, GTSR copy with open vents in the center. Saves about 75 lbs over stock and helps the car run cooler on the track.
As I recall, I spent about $600 to have the new hood painted and striped. You can pay alot more.
