The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop Stick on pen stripping

If it is the stuff made by 3M or Cal-Stripe, it will be ok. I used some on my truck and between 1977 and 2020 it never looked any different than it did when new. I think I still have some of the roll I bought back then. Silver and maybe 2.5mm wide. A friend used some generic stuff and it was horrible. Back in the 70s (and maybe it is still offered) there was a masking tape product you applied and then removed the top layer. It left two pieces of masking tape spaced evenly apart and you could take pinstriping paint and a small brush, paint the exposed part and have a genuine painted pinstripe. You could also get that in dual line (one thicker one thinner) that some guys used on wheels, but I watched a pinstripe specialist do twin stripes on 4 wheels in no time at all. I doubt I could ever do this, but he had a helper jack one wheel up at a time while he rotated them and carefully painted both the stripes at once with his other hand. His brush had two long thin sets of brush hairs...one made a thin and one was wider, set about 3/8 inch apart. No tape and he didn't make a single mistake. It was amazing to watch.
