So Im done. I tried the two-tone and pin stripe thing...paint came out great, but the pinstripes just wouldn't lay down no matter what I tried. So I sanded it all down again and got some more paint, and just shot it silver. Paint came out good. There's a bit of orange peel but I know my limitations and wet sanding is one of the many! Here she is...until winter. Base gasket needs replacing, so high comp pistons and a cam might find there way under the christmas tree!

So I am in the process of de-oldmanifying the old man bike I just bought! I am only 39 and refuse to admit that I like riding a recliner as opposed to a rigid, so I am making a few styling changes.
I have one of these on the way, Low Profile Tourpack, as well as a Lapera Silhouette 2-up seat and 5" smoke windshield. Now for the question...
I ordered some aerosol touchup paint (for the paint code Silver 33731) and I am going to paint the new tour pack to match. Here is the issue...the king tour pack has a two tone (black and silver, which isn't an issue) but it also has two different colors (and widths) of pin striping. I can paint no problem, but I don't have the hand to pin stripe (or pin stripe tape). Are there any paint and bod guys on this forum that can offer some help? Who to call, where to go? Is this something a regular paint shop can do?
Thanks in advance
I'm working on a set of lowers for a 2003 RK, ordered paint but it hasn't arrived yet. Can you share who you ordered the aerosol from and how was the match ? It looks good. Thanks

Thanks man...i used Paintscratch.com. good paint. Lays nice but the can doesnt like to tilt when its getting empty. So keep that in mond when positioning your parts. Also takes about 10-14 days to recieve paint from order date though. I think the match is dead on. My primer may have been lighter than stock which is why it looks a shade lighter in certain lights. Or maybe I need more clear. But I'm happy with the company and end result.

I cant pinpoint it but I love this paint scheme. Pinstripes are definitely not old man! Id love to find a proper pinstriper.
