painted the stripes on the 89(pics)

Finally took some pictures of my paint. sprayed it under the carport a little over a week ago then I decided i wanted some stripes to break up all the black. wanted to retain some of the factory stripe look so this is what i came up with silver metallic. the stripe is outlined with a small charcoal stripe. The tailgate letters came from james dean creations (great guy to deal with).

Looks great! I have been thinking about doing something like this with my 4runner.

What kind of paint did you use? Spray can?

damn, again that is a sick paint job, looks factory!

Come up and do mine please! How much did the TOYOTA sticker cost you? I would like to put one on after I get paint.

Does he have the V6 and SR5 stickers too?

The toyota tailgate letters was $25. they are discontinued from the dealer and these are great quality and a breeze to apply and yes he has the V6 and SR5 as well.
