    My Prius is the Seaside Pearl also and the pinstripe goes good with the color - how did you do it/did someone put it on for you?

    I did the body moldings but had the stripe done when I had the windows tinted.

    The pinstripe is real nice!

    I've seen pictures of a Prius with lightning bolts and I think this is better.

    Can anyone tell me what they consider a reasonable price to have a pinstripe applied?
    Thanks!

    Well the pin stripe it self is around $10 or $20 and it only takes around 15 or 20 minutes to apply it. I would stripe a car for around $20 labor.

    But in the real world I would think most shops would want around $50 to $60 including the stripe.

    I have been in the custom Corvette painting business for over 20 years as an independent and mostly did used car lot cars to pay the bills so I am probably cheaper than most.

    I really think they did a great job striping your car the body lines look awsome.

    So, a shop would be about $10 more than you would charge. okay.
