Nice BIKE
Try Eastwood Automotive, they have everything you need for pinstriping.
Been a long time sinceI tried my hand at it
Do a lot of looking before you put the brush to tin.
Practice, Practice, Practice.

One Shotis the classic stripers paint. If you've never done it before, then be prepared to practice a lot first! You might try this... http://www.beugler.com/ I got one and it is WAY easier to use than a striping dagger (brush) but creates the same type of results and uses the same paint.

one shot is good striping paint.....personally I think the Beugler is cheating.....nothing like learning something right..grab a couple of Mack brushes (blue's better than the green) in sizes 0-000, trim em, then practice, practice practice....make sure the surface is clean n pristene when you finally do attempt it (dupont enamel reducer 3812 works fine)...clean the brushes after every use (use the dupont again), store em oiled up so they keep....good luck
