Best looking Gill Insert set up on the Camaro5 to me! Have my Black Fades from Autotrimdesign and am currently waiting on my stuff from stripeman to get my project started. Hope mine turns out as well as yours.

Job well done and thanks for sharing your tips and instructions!!

Great guy. Tell him I sent you!

Guess I'm missing something here. I didn't see any kind of Fade inserts. Is the link you posted to the guys ebay account?

Do you have any more specifics?

Here's my Faded Black Gills :

jdurhan · 09-07-2009, 04:28 PM

I purchased a set of fades for the gill, I thought they looked good at the bottom and good as they went up, however I could not accept the way they looked at the the top. There was no curve with gill line just cut straight across. Looked like a piece of faded electrical tape, I peeled them off. I emailed vendor, but no reply. I think they could've made them look a little more finished looking at the top. I may try a set of stripemans or Ridergraphics, they have a finished look. jmo

Instructions:
0. TAKE YOUR TIME.
1. Clean hands and gills with alcohol and a lint free cotton towel.
2. Let dry COMPLETELY.
3. Spray install lube spray (4 drops DAWN dishwashing liquid in a cup of water in a NEW spray bottle) on gills. Don't be shy with the spray. You can get a new spray bottle for $1 at the dollar store.
4. Install 1st fade from the top down, using your finger as a squeegee. If it's off a little, you can SLOWLY slide it into place.
5. Repeat steps 3,4 until all fades are installed.
6. Let dey 30 min or so in the sun.
7. Repeat steps 2,3,4,5 using Stripeman's outlines. Be CAREFUL. They're fragile!
8. After an hour, mist with water and wipe off excess lube. The lube is just 4 drops of Dawn in a cup of water, so it won't hurt anything.

After they are on about a week, you can wash and carefully wax after you check for lifting.

Enjoy the look!

Excellent advise. Those noobs that have not done these kind of stripes before should live this.

Hey Patriot, Where did you get your Black Gill Fades? StripeMan does not have the Fades.

Thanks !

http://www.autotrimdesign.net/

Out of all the Products they sell like Graphics Stripes , Decals , Gills , Rear Blackouts and all of the other products they offer, I think they are one or the best place to get things like this from along with " GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE" ! !

incustody · 09-25-2009, 03:59 PM

Have been monitoring this for a while. Just received my AutoTrim-fades and will be installing and the accents arriving tomorrow from Stripeman. Both have great customer service. Just seems the U.S Postal Service delivered quicker for AutoTrim. Thanks PatriotPa and DCJ.

NAHURRY · 09-25-2009, 05:44 PM

Wonder how the black fade- aways will look on a black car?
