    Default Good place in S/E Melb to get bumper pinstripes redone

    I want the striping on Ruby's front and rear bumpers re done, as it's starting to peel off in places.

    Any recommendations, rough prices?

    Why not do it yourself ? i redone the bumbers on my old VN "S", I just used the pinstriping from a local speed shop . Just use a hairdryer to heat and remove the old ones ,Then give the bars a good clean . The easiest way to apply them is to first get a spray bottle and fill it with a mixture of water and dishwashing liquid, spray it on the bar then lay the pinstrips over it , that way you can move the stripes into position so they are nice and straight, then trim the ends of the stripes , The stripes will be stuck firm when the soap dries

    Because I have the most un-steady hand possible. And if i get some place to do them, if it gets stuffed up, I can blame them.

    thats why you spray the area with soapy water so you can move the stripes around till you get them i position .
    Check out the yellow pages , you could prob get someone to do them on site for you
