Default Stripes
Hi RS,

Striping is purely subjective. Some guys go with the taper and some don't. I have an A&C and their assembly mount shows no taper and they show a one inch spacing between the stripes that are 7" wide. If you go to ERA's website they show stripe specs listing only a 3/4 " spacing between the stripes that they show (and provide dimensions) as tapered.

There is also the option of adding the border stripes. Usually these are spaced 1/4" out from the broad stripes and they are usually 1/4" wide.

Look through the members galleries at some of the guys cars and that should give you some ideas to help you decide. Striping, basically comes down to personal preference.

Tony
