Double Light Blue Pinstriping?

[wkasak]

I am having a terrible time finding the original factory or comparable double light blue pinstriping for my 1991 GMC K5 Jimmy? It's a double stripe 3/16" on top, 1/4" on bottom with 3/16" clear space in between the two. Has anyone bought or sourced this before? It's even hard to find the stripes individually in the two sizes in a light blue? Can't be that hard to find? I have been all over the internets...

Thanks in advance!

When I was at a dealership we used to get similar 3M striping from Carquest. Thick / thin double stripe but no clear between.

The middle is just open space for the body color to show thru...just a clear covering that gets removed after installation if I can find it as one double stripe.

You could use a 3/16 pinstripe, then below that lay down some 3/16 masking tape (used for pinstripping with paint) as a guide, then lay down the 1/4 pinstripe. Just as an FYI, the new pinstripe tape probably won't match your existing one since it may be faded. Don't know if these 3M colors are what you're looking for:

Thanks...I just order that tape. Didn't think of the masking tape but that is a great idea. I'm ordering that too.

But light blue doesn't come in 3/16

Hopefully the 3M stuff will work. I'll post an update when I receive them.
