Best Advice I can give you is, Hire an old school Pinstripper!

Find anyplace that sells 1 SHOT paints and Ask them for some names.(try sign shop suppliers, or auto body shop suppliers, and even Art stores.)

It really isn't that expensive to have them done in paint by a old Pro Pinstripper.
And it will look Awsome once done.

Oh heck, I got dozens of pix of my baby with old school, hand-painted pins.




I know have pink dice painted on the gas cap as well ...

Love my pins and now most of the SoCal group have them as well (http://www.socalpinstriper.com/)

Hand painted is the best -- Go for it!

Cool

OLD SCHOOL...is the only way to go. The results are so much better. Most stripers will work with you on a color combination . My guy put four (4) different sets of stripes on and I decided what looked best. High end car dealers (Lexus, Jag, MB, ETC) have it done now day's. They don't use tape, so they always have a local guy, just ask the salesmen. Or drop by a car show, someone there will know the place to take your baby.
