I reckon a lot of them were done by eye! Doubt there'd be a vector graphic available.

As far as I know there is no 'set' tiger striped set. All of the cars i've tiger striped have been by eye.

I know thats where im struggling to get the shapes right. Cant seem to get it too look right. I could pay for a set but would like to do it myself and perhaps get the satisfaction out of knowing that I did that

why cant you import a car from impact vehicle outline disk,

That way they will be to size aswe, llthen just draw them in your sign software against the outline.

I cut out by hand the tiger stripes on my mates 3 door.

Works better that way as every car requires a different pattern.

Just choose your colours then cut away

So you're in the sticker game and can't design your own stripes?
