Default Pinstripes

Are the pinstripes on the tank and fenders on my 07 FLSTC painted on or are they decals? If they are decals, where can I get them? Thanks

I think there actualy silk screened on, but I could be wrong. I don't think the pinstriping is a decal tho. You might need to track down a pinstriper if you need it restriped.

most of harleys pinstriping is done by robot no decals so you will need to brush them back on

Yes, they are most definately painted on. Some of the stripe colors do have PPG formulas, but some do not. And like most HD colors they can be a real pain to match.

They are painted on and a pain to match....

I found a really good pinstripe guy out by me who did a great job on mine..... ( JC Customs in Big Rock IL)

I'd imagine that you should be able to find a good sign painter or pinstripe guy in your area who can do the same.

Thanks for the input. I know some guys that do that kind of work but thought if it was decals I could do it myself...Oh well.
