Beaver Stripes & Molding Supply

Beaver Stripes was founded by Vincent Beaver in the late 1970s in the Phoenix area. The business initially focused on selling pinstriping tape and rivet-on body side molding (as was common in the ’70s) to installers.

In 1982, the company was purchased by Wolf and Trudy Bellingrodt, who operated it for the next 25 years. During that time, they expanded the inventory to include accessories such as roof racks, running boards, car wings (spoilers), and other small automotive accessories.

In 1992, Beaver Stripes purchased a competing store, Trik Trim, in the East Valley (Tempe, AZ), and acquired the 3M Automotive Trim distributorship, along with a full line of detailing products from Production Car Care Products. Beaver Stripes distributed products through both stores and two mobile trucks that served body shops, detail shops, and dealerships throughout the Phoenix Valley.

The company doubled in size when vinyl signs were added in the early 1990s. In 2002, the Trik Trim store was closed and operations were consolidated at the McDowell Avenue location.

Wolf passed away a few years later, and due to health issues, Trudy sold the business to Michael White. In May 2021, Beaver Stripes moved from the original McDowell Road location to its new location on Grand Avenue.

Our service level has increased dramatically over the past few years. We now operate a full fleet of mobile removal team members to support fleet removal needs, along with installers for RV and fleet graphics. We have also expanded our route trucks to four fully stocked vehicles to distribute detailing supplies, automotive fasteners, and other shop supplies.
