Id like to have some small pinstripping done on my headlight and rear fender and was wondering what would the cost of something like this be. I am not looking for anything too crazy or over the top, just a simple old school design.
I'm thinking you should be able to get a little striping like that done for between fifty and a hundred bucks. Probably closer to fifty if you catch a striper on a slow day at a rally.
Yaa, (my striper) it depends on how broke he is on how much he charges. The broker he is the less he charges, I'd do it the other way myself. $50 or $100 bucks should get you what you need.
If you have any ralleys your going too this year or any close enough to make a day trip out of go check em out.. Theres usually a ton of Pin strippers there and then you can check out the work and shop prices... When we were in PCB it was pretty sweet watchin em all work and there was literally a ton of different tents stripping...
If I have to go to a customer's house, any pinstriping is going to cost at least $100.00 to cover expenses and travel. If a customer brought his bike to me, for what you want figure about 1.5 hours or about $50.00.
I recently had my rear fender pinstriped as well as my horn and air cleaner cover and it was $100. Like others have stated, I found the guy at a goodguys car show and he was doing another show in my area so I went to him there and it was relatively cheap.
Be sure to check out the quality of the work before shelling out the dough. Most of these pinstripers know their stuff and do a good job. I have seen a couple that must be half blind, its not pinstriping its more like dull crayon marks. I prefer the narrow lines
myself that are no more than a 1/16 of an inch wide. Some of these guys leave lines that are 3/16" or more and they call it striping. Too each his own I suppose!
