You don't need to mess w/ removing glass! That would be a huge can of worms. We're not painting a Deusenburg here! My White '06 w/ pearl blue "over" stripes is done. The rocker "G.T.350" stencil just came in, and the painter will shoot the rocker stripes this weekend. The car looks awesome, and I get sooo much attention. I'll post some pics after the final paintwork. I removed my grilles, windshield washer nozzles, etc. I laid out and drilled the hood for the Roush Scoop, and fitted the CDC chin spoiler. I did all the stripe layout, with Shelby's original dimensions, using a laser and Sharpie for final stripe boundaries. Using a laser also confirmed my initial rough measurements. there's no doubt that the stripes are right. The painter was impressed. This made his job easy, and the car was masked and painted the same day. Painted stripes is the ONLY way to go. No discussion!

pics would be nice sounds sweet!

Mine Cost $940. The first quote from another shop was $1700.

In any case, the guy at the body shop removed the front grill, fender, hood, trunk lisd, spoiler, and rear facsia. Sanded, painted stripes, clear coated them and filled the holes in the front fascia from the license plate.

He did a really great job and I tipped him

Awesome!!! sweet ride!

They stated they would have to removed the front an rear glass in order to paint where you couldn't see the yellow.

So were these $1000 prices inclusive of that?

It sounds like I need to go elsewhere.

guys...I am a auto painter. been doin it for 23 years. I have striped 2 cars so far. 1 for $800 no rocker stripes..and 1 for $1000 with rocker stripes...and I think thats cheap! its time consuming as heck. I did not clear coat the entire panels...base coat clear coat stripes. NO NEED TO REMOVE ANY GLASS!!! rope the Windshield molding..... the back glass is no problem at all. I removed the washer nozzels...the rear spoiler...the GT center cap and the 3rd brake light and rear tag.
I just did my own 06 GT which was free by the way samething just stripes no clearcoating the entire panels. I also painted my mirrors...big improvment. removed the GT from the fenders for the running pony emblems havent got the G.T. 300 for my rockers yet...soon I have a hood scoop comimg too Mick
