will decide soon
Understood. If you decide you'd like to part with either boot, feel free to let me know and we may be able to come to a deal.

Slightly off topic but is there a place that will paint fill the numbers/gates on a stock ****?

Easy to do on your own. I grabbed some hobby paint and a toothpick, looked great!

Bob, this does not require the skill of faking an undiscovered Francisco de Goya. A properly experienced Detailer can mix paint and do a professional job.

I see you’re located in Florida land of millions of retired men. A 70 year old was just a punk kid back in the heyday of hot-rods. Such a car was beyond him then, but the old farts are now finally getting the car of their dreams. Where there are classic hot rods, there will be drunk smelly old-farts that can paint a long complex pinstripe totally by hand. Paintbrush in one hand and glass of bourbon in the other hand.

My dad would often make custom body parts. He would fabricate the parts (things like floating front fenders etc) mount and paint to match the car. To add pinstripes, he would send the customer to see old Jim out behind the junkyard in the bad part of town. If the customer was having trouble understanding the directions, I was dispatched to show the way. Bob was a smelly, lecherous, old drunk, he made my skin crawl. Sure enough, old Jim would greet us sucking on a glass of cheap whiskey, which he would refill it as he mixed paint. When the paint was ready, he just started the stripes, no measuring, no hesitation. The artwork always looked great, straight, balanced side to side in every way, but still retained the handmade touch.

If you want a really superior job, find an old Jim etc. I’m sure the price is still a bottle of whiskey.

I remember seeing this thread a couple of years ago. Also believe Suncoast carried some of their product.
I have no affiliation and have personally never even seen their products.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I go to a custom bike show now and then and there is usually a pinstriper at the shows, who I am sure would be able to do it albeit I will have to bring along some Miami Blue paint.

That is the part number for the Carrera T alcantara **** or leather? Using other vendors with this part number it seems much cheaper than suncoast

I wanted to use the Alcantara ****, so I bought the OEM set. I had my guy change the stitching on both Alcantara and Leather to yellow, haven decided yet which boot I am going to use.
My guy just sent me the pictures, hand stitched.

He is working on the steering wheel next
