I need to put a white pinstripe on a 71 GTX. What is the width and measurements for placement?, painting vs. pinstripe tape? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks, Joe.

There are basically 3 ways to apply the paint stripe;

A)Freehand
B)Using the tool with the wheel that follows the body line
C)Use the masking tape that has the pull-out sections for the paint

The factory stripe was a long way from perfect in width. It was usually good and straight, but the curves varied considerably.

The stripe is approx .200 wide, 3/16" pinstripe tape (.186) would suffice if you don't want to paint it on as original

I have the same factory prints as posted, they might be clearer though
