1989 SN Pinstriping

Hello All,

There are a couple of old threads about this, but I could use some updated information. I am looking to replace the light grey pinstriping above and below the red accent line on my '89 Nautique. I understand there was light grey and dark grey versions. In the pic you can see how it has pulled off on half of the transom. I could probably just piece this in if I could find the right color and size, but there are other areas of the boat that are starting to pull off so I was thinking of peeling it all off and starting over.
Is there a source to order the OE style pinstriping?
Are there any tricks to keeping it straight for a professional look?
I could probably take it to a local marine trim shop, but this seems like something I should be able to do myself. Any assistance or advise from anyone who has done this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The only option we have currently is two seperate Tape stripes. 1/4" and 1/2". Let me know if I can help you out with that. They come on 150' rolls.

You can find the double stripe pinstriping on Ebay (crazy-right!)

the best way to keep it straight and bubble-less is to spray a light mist of water (with a TOUCH of dishsoap in the water) on the surface will help you place the stripe.....apply under slight tension and gently squeegy....once dry, it will be great!

No need - the double stripe is avail Don....... It is a single piece!

The problem is the original size is what is hard to impossible to find, I want glow in the dark silver glitter flake for mine so orIginal isn't really a concern.   

Back in some of the old threads(2008) it sounded like there was a replacement in the exact size. Just wondering if this was available anywhere now. As far as the ghosting, I was hoping to lay the new stripe down right over the goasting from the old one. However, this is probably easier said than done. The boat is in storage, so this will be a spring project. I explore the suggestions here. Thanks.

Steve/Pete, you both say the original double pinstripe (1/2" color, 1/4" space, 1/4" color) is available... can you provide a link? Im only aware of it being available in black and white... the OP needs one of the grays that was offered. I think Brad got some in red from MWCC a few years ago, but I dont see it listed anymore. I know I had a heck of a time putting my hands on anything when I was looking- from the vinyl manufacturers on down. 2-piecing that double pin would be a PITA.

White and black double pin from White Lake

Only in the bright sunshine and after dark. Seriously though I have a friend with a 2000 SAN that has the big N trimmed with the glitter stripe, you don't really notice it until you're close and the light catches it the it just jumps out. I thought it was a pretty cool effect and I may try it if I ever replace the stripes. Once the gray lettering changed to black I'm looking at things a little different than keep it original because I couldn't. Now I'm more for tastefully done upgrades, like Elanor

Scott,

What lake are you on up there?? Have a good bud on Glen, love that area!!


Don,

Changed the 206 factory tape from black to the silver metal flake, tracked down exactly what the factory used, is that what you are looking for??
