I have a lot of people wanting redlines, orange lines, pink lines...well you get the point. Heres the secret to painting you own redlines.
Tools needed: 1. Colored paint pen from Wal Mart 2. Wash Rag or towel for mess ups 3. Hammer (no real reason, just feels good to have it on hand) lol

Yeah and please do not try a Marker, these have paint in them, and it flows out nicely. Sometimes you have to do 3-4 coats for it to look uniform.

i do them in white with a paint pen then a couple coats of the color you want the next day, seems to get better coverage that way (im a painter by trade and its all about coverage)

Eccles, I had my girlfriend paint the tire stripe white first a couple of coats then the next day paint the red. It really makes the red stripe POP. Thanks for the Tip.!!......Jaxon

this is what i do, red pin stripe, if you just pinstripe in the groove where the stripe should be it comes out great. and its easy to replace if it peals up unlike if the pain cracks then you have to get rid of the flakes and re paint.
