pinstriping
Someone ahead of me painted the raised letters on my tail gate and did a crap job on taping it off , took it to a pinstriper , he brushed it up and tidied it up nicely.

Re: pinstriping
Looks nice! My dad could pinstripe like an ace. I didn't get that gene.

Re: pinstriping
I tried it once, and it looked like modern art. Or dr. scribble what ever you prefer.
But looking good. What made you settle on black? Instead of a contrating color. Was black your other color |

Re: pinstriping
He also did gold leaf which is pretty much a lost art.

Re: pinstriping
Just a border makde quite a difference.
Gold leafing is no more a lost art than any other form of hand sign painting. Computer-cut vinyl lettering took the art out of sign painting, but there is still a demand for old school hand painted signage, gold leaf, and pinstripe
