🎨 A LOST ART — THE CLASSIC PINSTRIPE! 🚘
There was a time when hand-painted pinstriping was a common finishing touch on vehicles. Today, it’s becoming somewhat of a lost art.
I was fortunate enough to learn how to hand-pinstripe vehicles from my boss Stan Schmidt at my very first collision repair job. It’s a skill I’ve carried with me throughout my career and one I still appreciate today.
As much as I’d like to take credit for hand-painting these stripes on this Ford F-150, they’re actually pinstripe tape! 😁
While the methods may have changed, I still appreciate the classic look and the little details that give a vehicle its character.
Some traditions are worth keeping alive—even if they’ve gone from a paintbrush to pinstripe tape!
