Vinyl Information and Color Samples
We use the highest quality 3M (or Avery, where 3M is unavailable) vinyl on all stripes, lettering, blackouts, and small decals. We create (from originals!) and cut all our stripes and decals; we are the manufacturer, not just a vendor of someone else's products. Nearly all of our reflective decals are 680 or 580 engineer grade, the best for color stability, low shrinkage, and prevention of cracking due to the sun or aging. For nonreflective decals, we use 3M Scotchcal 7125 series, with correct casting (texture) and thickness (thin, with high adhesion).

All vinyl can be waxed except "mb" matte black (it will stain). However, new products are available that will remove staining.
All decorative stripes include detailed installation instructions, and most include vehicle location instructions and photos.
BUBBLES are YOUR RESPONSIBILITY with stripes, blackouts, and lettering, no matter what the reason.
Partial sets or pieces of any stripe are available.
Almost any stripe/lettering (but not hood blackouts or printed decals) can be made in almost any colors that were used by Chrysler. Inquire before ordering non-original colors for a stripe, and specify exactly the color desired. Special-order stripes cannot be returned for a refund. Reflective vinyl costs more than nonreflective.
Large-size reflectives will fade quite rapidly when exposed to continuous hot, bright sunlight. Reflective black stripes on a black car in daylight will have little contrast. Matte black will be subtle, but noticeable contrast in daylight, but will not be seen at all at night. Matte black looks great on any color, especially a gloss black car! (click here)
3M Antique White vinyl is a very close match to NOS white stripes and to W1 alpine white paint.
LG Ledger Green and OG Olive Green, are custom-printed vinyl colors. They are the correct color print on 3M Scotchcal Electrocut white gloss vinyl. The color will not fade because it sinks into the white, and is not just on top of it. No screen print lines, and no variations in color.
B5 Blue vinyl is an excellent match to 1968-1970 Chrysler B5 Blue metallic paint. Same cost as any nonreflective vinyl.
Flourescent vinyl is not well represented in these samples. See photo inset in second row from bottom to get some idea of how much brighter and neon-like the three flourescent vinyls are, compared to ordinary vinyl. Fluorescent vinyl has an outdoor durability of 3 to 6 months when exposed to consistent direct sunlight.
Free color samples are available by USPS mail.
