Topic: How to ID NOS stripe kit

[BHStang]

Picked up what was said to be an NOS stripe kit containing both sides.  What I got was a mix of kits.  But a full set both sides plus 1 extra quarter panel stripe.  Some pieces have no name or logos on the backing tape, some have Macal Film, 1 has the grey scotchhical 3M logo and the extra quarter panel stripe has the older blue 3M logo. What do we think is truly NOS and what is not?

For what it is worth the stripe kits that Branda sells unless something has changed are sourced from a MFG that uses original 3M stripe material and are copied using originals as patterns. With that said using a stripe kit from multiple different kits from most likely different stripe run batch's would have a high probability of not matching. Also with the old stripe kits the tendency for the adhesive to dry up is common.To your question there were various ID differences over the years on service stripe kits. I wanted to point out some information that you may not have considered before spending a lot of time trying to piece together a mis matched stripe kit. The best results can be expected from ether a new stripe kit made from the same stripe run that is done after factory original or a complete matching original kit  . The only problem with the complete original kit is that you may find out sometimes (not always) after applying a portion of the kit that a section or two or three may have had the adhesive dry up.
