I am an artist and I live in Knoxville,Tennessee. I do custom pin stripping and I was wondering if anyone has ever wanted pin stripping on their thirdgen? Or if anyone had thought of the look on their car?

 

While it's not stock, I do like pin striping along the top fenders of third gens.

 

i was just wondering because i do custom pinstripping by hand

 

You do hand pin stripping my hat goes off to you!

 

I've never been much of a fan of it.

 

thank you
it takes lots of practice and time

 

That's interesting, do you have any photographs of your work? I understand you might not perhaps have a picture of a ThirdGen painted in such a manner - I'm just curious as to what the appearance is precisely.

 

didn't some berlenetta's <sp> have pinstriping on them and i think maybe some base sc also had factory pin stipes, maybe i am wrong but i think it would look good if done right. we do have some nice body lines.

I LOVE custom handpainted pinstriping! ...Unfortunately,I'm such a fan of "stock" when it comes to my Iroc, I've never been able to find a good way to do it. I love it on old hotrods. Are you a "Pinhead"? I'm in the sign business, and love reading about all the pinhead and letterhead meets.

...do you have any pics?

 

Thats cool, you got any pics of your work?

 

My 82 Berlinetta came with pin stripping

 

I respectfully disagree. There were camaro's that came stock with pin striping. Looks kinda like a heart monitor for the side of the car IMO.

In case you don't believe me, this is my friend ripping his off.

 

that doesnt make it stock. it doesnt make it aftermarket either. well crap, this is about the most useless post on this thread.

 

Yes, I believe ShiftyCapone also still has the stock pinstriping on his car.

 

Not a fan of pin striping

 

Here are some pics of my work

 

sorry here is more

 

ok now i have some in one pic

 

ok i got them in one pic now

 

Does that mean that if I show you a picture of my t-tops you're going to tell me that those might be aftermarket too? I'm not forcing you to believe me, if you want to post-***** and make stupid remarks, there are better places than TGO to do that.

If you'd like to tell me that I'm wrong you're more than welcome to, but I think that most people on this board will disagree with you. Pin stripes were in fact a stock option on our cars.

And for the record, your remark that my post was useless makes yours the stupidest one in the thread. Have a nice day.

 

I think that work is AWESOME!

...I'd love some on my Iroc, I just can't find a good place.

 

well reading comprehension is obviusly not your strong point....I WAS talking about my own post.

 

Heh, it's my fault that you couldn't convey what you wanted to say right?

Quoting my post is obviously the best way for us to see that you're talking about yourself and not me. Gosh, I really am the idiot aren’t I?

P.S. You should really spell check your posts before sending them... my reading comprehension isn't that bad

 

well i do see how i worded that and the fact that i quoted you does give a false pretense. but what does spell check have to do it...well other than caps & stuff.

 

Obviously, obviously is spelled obviously not "obviusly"

 

Back on topic...

I LOVE factory pinstripes....or even just factory stripes of any kind for that matter.

Here's my 89 Formula with factory pinstripes (hopefully you can see them and silver fading stripe at the bottom (which I've heard was supposed to be done with after 88?). I don't see many factory striping.



Almost every car I've owned has had pinstripes on it. My brother's 94 Camaro has a factory pinstripe that's the normal two parallel stripes, but at the nose of the car the top stripe takes a 45degree dive dowward crossing the bottom stripe and then lines up parallel again to the end of the car....it subtle and sweet. I wish I had a pic of it.


Wow! You do awesome pinstriping. How much would you charge? How long does it take you? If I did something on my TA it'd be a little more simpler than those. Don't get me wrong cause those look awesome but those seem to potray a biker theme with a touch of feminess (sp??) (which is not me at all)...I'd want a factory looking theme....Am I making much sense? Got any more pics?

 

here is a pic of shiftycapone's pinstripe. Im pretty sure it was factory

 

pinstripe

 

Mine also has pinstripes, but they're decal not paint. Personally I really like the custom pinstripes gtababe does. Nice work!

 

Thanks for the complement
