- Pinstriping made easy - A more involved video showing how to do a double pinstripe. My previous video shows doing a single pinstripe.
Shown on a Harley front fender (along with other trike parts)
My favorite 1/8” tape to use (used on bigger panel jobs)

Came out great. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome. Great to hear!
similar to the way EVH painted the Frankenstrat! going to use this technique for a golf cart project. thanks for the video!
You bet!
I learned one thing. You are awsome at what you do. Great job. I am amazed. If a time comes in my life when I need this type of work done, I will look for you.
I appreciate that!
awesome work
Appreciate it!
Thank you for the how to!
No problem! Be sure to subscribe to my channel. I do plan on adding more in the near future
You're that kind of man you think talks too much, then you see how good he is at what he does and you think he doesn't talk enough!
ha ha love it!!!
you should have 50k subs by now thank you for your videos
Appreciate it....wish I could do more vids for everyone. I have one scheduled to come live tomorrow.
Have you done strips on exstended bag's that you can do a video on? I have a set to do and would love to see how you do it.
I've done quite a few painted stripes on stretched and non-stretched bags. Sometimes I 'swoop' the stripes down in an arc. Sometimes I'll just run them parallel with the bottom of the bag..along with other types of layouts. I use the same technique as in this video though.
I may do a stretched bag video w/ stripes down the road though. Thanks for watching
Great video!!! I am attempting to rebuild my 1999 Ultraclassic, and it has the exact same stripes!! (the Red on mine is Lazer Red Pearl though.) I was wondering if you could share the colors for the silver and the red-orange pinstripes? Assume you used a basecoat color for these? I have a PPG dealer that can mix me the color, but need some kind of color code as the size of the stripes are too small for them to do a custom match on. Thank you!
Lazer Red pearl is an awesome red. I've sprayed that quite a few times. As far as the pinstripes, I ALWAYS end up just matching Harley's pinstripes. I normally make up a pint of some of the colors, as they tend to use the same color pinstripes for other main colors through the years as well. That orange/red was used quite often.
I would suggest taking a piece of your bike, possibly the side cover and just going through their chip charts. If they have anything like a color match book, this will show ALL colors starting with white and ending in black. Every page changes colors. You'll see page after page of reds. You will find your color in there that they can make up for you.
If they have standard color chip charts, you'll just have to go through them until you find one close.
OR, just get a regular bright red color and ask for orange toner (1/2 pint of each). Mix it approx 50/50 and that should be a great starting point
I know this is few yrs old but i just sanded down my saddle bag lid off of my 86 after it flew off and chewed a corner of it and this is how the stripes were done on it. I found the gold that was the color of the pinstripe was under all of the black. Now i have to fig out what dang color is the gold to match the rest of the bike
Normally I just color match all the Harley pinstripes. If you don't have alot of paints in stock you can take the lid up to a paint supplier and pick out something that is close to the gold and they can make it for you
I’m going to do a double black stripe so with bright orange being my base coat would I need to shoot a light grey color over the black after I have the stripes taped so it won’t interfere with the orange.
Yes, I would do that. Orange is pretty transparent so the light gray will help the orange cover better. Don't put too much gray though. Just enough to kill 'most' of the black. Be sure to use a very light gray. Even a white with a tinge of orange in it would be a good ground coat
How many coats of the red did you do before masking and will the tape put the red off when unmasking?
This is was done backwards, so the red pearl was the last color to be sprayed. No masking at all was done with this technique.
@@TAZattitude ok so I'm working on a gas tank 2tone paint job with a pin strip threw the middle of the colors. What advice can you give?
@@3rekoatskustoms929 What are the main colors and the pinstripe color?
@@TAZattitude the pin stripe will be red and the 2 colors are a pearl white and brown pearl
@@3rekoatskustoms929 I would do the complete parts in the white pearl first since it's a tri-stage. Mask off to paint the brown area using 1/4" or 1/8" fineline to layout where you want the 2 tone edge.
Once it's masked up, spray a few coats of red along the edge of the 2 tone line. Assuming you want an 1/8" stripe, VERY carefully, butt your 1/8" fineline up against the 2 tone edge (add some 1/4" green tape overlapping the 2 tone fineline and the fineline you just laid down to eliminate any blow-through).
Cover the red overspray and the remaining white in a couple coats of black (this will help the brown cover faster)
Then spray your brown
Unmask all very carefully
Clearcoat...
Watch too much painting against the edges.
This is why you do the white pearl first...it's the thicker color
How dare you say harley sometimes does not have perfect pinstripes lol. Jk. Great video and awesome shop. Wish i could work there
