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?

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.
