Default Pinstripe or wait?

With Hubby getting a new bike I guess I'll be waiting on my paint job.

Should I see if I can get some pinstriping to my liking or just leave it alone until I can afford the paint job.

Not sure i have ever seen pinstriped flowers before[&:]

I've always loved a good pinstriping job. They can really accent a bike, car or truck for that matter. I'd draw some designes on some blank photos printed on plain paper to see if you can come up with a basic design... or pick from examples of a good painter of pinstrips.

You maybe more satisfied with pinstripes and not want to paint! I've found that some really good stripers are worth what you pay for, so don't go on the cheap. Look at plenty of their work and even talk to others that have had some of the work done.

If you don't plan it, you may have to paint sooner then you want if your dissatisfied...

BlueRose,[/align][/align]Give Gary Berg a call 805 496 4600- he is in T.O....He has done work on a few of our bikes and Hot rods. Along the line of Von Dutch style, but he might be able to put your thought or ideas into a one of a kind design. Good luck with the seat. [/align]

I was going to do the pinstriping thing. I just decided to airbrush the fairing. Just don't like the pinstriping look.
