Title: Automotive Pinstriping
Post by: Bud B. on December 19, 2012, 05:34:00 PM
Anyone ever used the thin line striping for cresting rings? Just thinking out loud (or in type).

Thanks.

I have used it and thin slices of wraps under a clear wrap. Worked pretty good.

I used to use the squirrel tail brushes.   That device called a turbulator that I think Ed Ashby looked into was made with those vinyl pinstripes

Not for cresting but a good idea. Try it and see how it works. Let us know.

That material is the same as what is used for commercial wraps. I have bought it from automotive suppliers for wraps, works great.

I use a pinstriping brush for cresting. They are amazingly good and can be fine, fine, fine...just takes a little getting used to the technique...

That is all I have used for the last 5 years. Any thing from 1/4" to 1/16". Duarable and a whole lot simplier than paint.

What's the thinnest pinstripe tape, you that use it, that you've been able to find?
