Stripe replacement

Does anyone have a good source to buy replacement stripes? And I've tried google, but I haven't found a really good guide on replacing them. I have a big gash on one (thankfully, it was the stripe, and not the paint!)

Thanks

Check out www.aestheticreations.net

I haven't used them personally, but I hear good things about them. That's the only one I know off the top of my head.

That's where mine are from. They do good work (although a little slow, depending on the time of year), and can do pretty much any custom idea you can think of.

Yup they are good. Did I hear they are no longer a vendor here on NAM? Something about IB's rates.

When you do find some, take your time, it's really pretty easy, ya just have to hold your tongue the right way as you do it


how I did it.

They did pull their vendor status, due to financial reasons. Sad; I wonder if it will lead to fewer sales due to less advertising, or if the strategy will pay off.

If the strategy involves IB recognizing that smaller grassroots vendors are wanted by the membership, then I hope they get a better price to be a vendor here.

CooperFlags is another one, but I can't speak to their products as I've never used them.

I used Mighty Stripes. They appear to be good quality and have held up very nice in the year I've had them on. MightyStripes.com
