Are they tape or painted on? I have the silver paint and was thinking of putting pinstripes on as well.
Mine are 5/16” 3m tape. The rule of thumb is to use the color of the interior as the color of the stripe. my interior is black and that wouldn’t add the pop I wanted. I felt that silver would match my chrome package nicely, which IMHO did.

I like it. Think I'm gonna have to make the change and remove the big hockey stick decal/stripe and go with a more subtle pin stripe. Not sure on color though. Magnetic or black? Wish I could see a mock up of both.

Given all the black, I think black would work. You can actually get two tone tape and you could add black/gray.

I like the lightning blue color. It's almost the exact same color as my Harley, which has silver flames pinstriped. So figure use the blue on silver.

Went old school pinstripe tape ; put on myself because I have done so many in the past . Real easy just takes right amount of stretching as you apply . I used 1/4 inch Prostripe brand available in most chain auto parts stores . Like Jon 54 said match interior , black does and added red for more pop . Might go crazy with 3rd color silver . Now all I need are my STX decals , Tasca has had them on backorder forever .

i thought about doing the hood and may still. I tried to do it in a poorly lit garage when it was 95*. Sweat pouring off and I said screw it. The shop that installed mine highly recommend the 3m tape. My roll came with 150’, so I have plenty. I think my tape cost $40 and my shop charged me $40 to put it on.

Prostripe 5 bucks for 40 ft. . Seems a little more flexible than 3m tape making it an easier job . It is good they lasted forever on my other vehicles . But 3m will also last .

Your "hockey stick" decal looks GREAT to me!

That looks very good. :like: May do this on my Ranger.
When I first started looking for a new truck, I looked at the F-150's and really liked the stripe scheme that they used on the sides of the XL for the STX Sport Special Edition Appearence- think they where silver and black

Would personally never do vinyl/tape my KW is all hand painted pin stripes and gold leaf, My ranger is pretty low on the priority list for anything other then driving It does break it up a bit though

I posted a question months ago about putting pinstripes on my Ranger. I was one of the first in my state to get my Ranger and it’s been good to me. But it lacked something, and I thought pinstripes was the ticket.

well, I finally pulled the trigger. I tried to do it myself my my eyesight and old shaky fingers just weren’t up to the task. I had a local shop do it and glad I did. It really adds to an otherwise dull side view.
I decided to go with something a little bit bolder on my Ranger. Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd.
