I like a little script on the engine lid, just around the licence plate, but not anywhere else

i like (on some cars) just a little around the windows.....i dont like it on the bonnet or up the decklid....just doesn't look right to me.
i think if your car is anything but a gasser it'll probably look better without it

Love pinstriping but it doesn't belong on a cal look car. Talk to my buddy Moldy Marvin at Kulture Shoq studios and he can get you the brushes, 1 shot (paint) and books by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth about striping. He's used to dealing internationally. Go to http://www.ratfink.org and look at his store section to get you started.

yes, that's the way I like it, too. Less is better. I have a small one on my license-plate cover.

This is what I had done last year.  I always thought that part of Cal Look was about emulating what was happening on the drag strip, and many of those had pinstriping, but I do think that you need to be careful with a road car.

You cab get both brushes and 1-Shot paint from "Handover" in London. Melliard told me about them.

I do like it but it's more for the resto-lookers in my opinion ...

the ride i bought this month had been pinstriped on bonnet, front wings and decklid. now it's only on the decklid and only there cause that needs some repairs and a repaint. can look cool though, like on 69stu's bug.

My '69 used was COVERED in pinstriping- every possible place you could think to pinstripe was done. It's all still mostly there, parts have just either faded out or were painted over (you can still see the raised lines underneath the paint though). The pinstriping looks absolutely bitchin', the color choice wasn't the greatest though (light baby blue on dark blue car). When I paint the car, I am going to go with the original dark (cobalt?) blue, and I am going to have ALL the pinstriping redone down to the "T"- the only difference is that instead of having it shouted at you in bright color, I am going to have it layed down in real fine stripes in black. Subtle...

Chears  Got any pictures of your ride? Another example of a pinstriped cal looker would be Dave Kanase's car, built in the 70's

In my opinion are Pinstripes on your car like tattoos on your skin: nice, but only if you don't exagerate! An amazing stripe gives the finishing touch to many gassers or lookers. In my opinion the nicest place is over the engine lid nose, or on the front wings behind the front lights (showing where the stream will blow, when you'll kick the ass!)
