Candy Wineberry Red?

Non decal way is either airbrush and a lot of masking or a pin stripe brush which will take practice. Pin stripe tape is the easiest way. Paint job looks great!

How do you make sharp turns in stick on pinstripping? I tried some from pep boys and it folded over pretty much then I gave up.

Stretch the tape for sharp curves using your finger tip to hold the tape to the surface as you go.

You have to run the roll out about 3 feet away from your work and make the bends/turns in a long sweep while holding your finger on the stripe on the piece moving your finger with the bend adding the stripe as you go. It can be a pain, but has to be done slowly. Otherwise, the striping rolls over or breaks.

Maybe I'll give it another go. It was frustrating I remember, broke a few times lol.

Could be. Pep Boys stuff not great quality.

Here is the final look. :Egyptian: I think, at least for now, I'm going to put the pinstripes on the back burner. Might look better to repaint the side covers without PSs...I kind of like that cleaner look better. k:

What I really need to do is to bite the bullet and pull the engine so I can fix the oil leak at the rear cover. :whip: Then I can paint the engine that Cast Iron colour of engine paint which would look good against this new body colour.

Dammit! I was sure I was going to repaint the 81 black... now I'm not so sure. That looks good!

 

[mcgovern61]

Looks like one of mine minus the rusted chrome plate at the bottom of the shield. Oh and mine has the fat girl rear bags too.

 

[mcgovern61]
