Factory Pin Stripe 1992 300E
 

Did Mercedes offer pin stripe detail for 300E's in 1992? My 92 has a black double row stripe on the side from front to rear. A local repair shop says it is pin stripe tape and clear coated over it because it looks so perfect it is not hand applied. I cannot believe the original owner would have gone to that much trouble for a pin stripe after purchase. Was there an option code? Thanks for any and all comments.

I’m pretty sure pinstripes are applied at the dealer. Factory literature doesn’t show pinstripes. I’ve never seen a pinstripe option code.

My black '90 300SE had a red pinstripe, removed it the day I got it. I didn't have clear coat over it, it was just tape and easy to remove.

Same here.....dealer installed pinstripe on our new '93 190E. Wife didn't like it so I removed it when we got home from the dealership.
I bought a new SUV last Monday.....had the dealer remove the pinstripe before I picked it up.
