Cost of Striping?

[Vipuronr]

I've looked at threads about striping, but they are focused on color and style of stripes.

I know area of the country has some impact on cost, but could I get a sense of what it cost people to stripe their cars, painted at this point. I am thinking of striping the standard factory style of two wide stripes.

I know one body shop (does lots of show cars and Vipers) that quoted me a price, very high and more than I would spend, striping not that important.

Thanks!

~$2500 for painted and ~$500 for vinyl.

I know on the window sticker it's a $5000 option.

I had a quote for fang stripes (similar) plus painting the dsh bezels for $1000. Best painter around too.

$2,500 is a good price actually. To paint the stripes on each panel requirers the full panel to be painted. Its alot on materials to do the job and time too. So when all said and done you'll almost have a full paint job.

$1,000 locally by one of the best around.

To paint stripes VJR3 is correct. Body panels have to come off, clear coat stripped, panels reinstalled to line up stripes perfectly, taken off again to paint and clear and reinstalled. It is a lot of work, more the just painting the car. mine cost significantly more than $2500

Thanks all! Yes, the body shop I spoke to said essentially the same thing about taking off each body panel for striping. Quoted $3,500 if clear coat only the stripes, much more if he has to clear coat the entire panel.

In terms of price/value, not sure I can justify the value (to me) of putting stripes on the car at that price vs. doing other mods. For me, I never had a great desire to put them on, I like them, but also like the clean look without.

Appreciate the perspective!

I paid $3500 for mine and it included removing all panels and clear coating the whole car. The quote you recieved seems about right.

Yes, I realize it is a labor intensive process and that is the reason for the price. It would seem that, for the less expensive prices, that they would not be dismantling the car. That isn't to say that those paint jobs don't come out good, but have to wonder what the differences are when all is said and done!
