We had a rather lengthy discussion on the strip itself last week. You might be able to glean something from it, here is a link:
https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/366285#Post366285 Just off hand, if I were striping my wheels I would do it almost exactly as Tim described the process. I would use the front wheel position for my mandrel for all the wheels. I would rig up a steady rest from 2x4’s for my hand. I have a Beugler striping tool and they work ok as long as you have a guide, well suited for the type of stripe your doing or a beltline stripe where you have a crease to guide it. You gotta play around with it a little to get the flow just right, the speed has to be just right. I also have a set of brushes and if the wheel is straight and you can get the wheel to spin consistently at the proper rate I think with a little practice you could us one of them also. I’m thinking some sort of small motor with drive roller mounted to the steady rest and a way of regulating the speed. Getting pretty complicated by now, isn’t it!!!
OneShot lettering enamel is the only way to go with the paint. Eastwood carries enough pinstriping supplies for the hobbyist.
Then again you could, pay a striper to do it for you like Tim did and have it over with while you grab a burger and a beer.
