I haven't read through this thread, but I figured you know the answer. Can you do cursive writing with pinstriping? say for instance, down the fork lowers on the side of the fork? Or is that a custom paint thing?

That, absolutely can be done. Pinstriping and lettering go hand in hand. Take a look at http://www.pinheadlounge.com/ for some great examples of both.

I finally got around to reading this entire thread and you guys are doing some amazing work. If you are ever in the Chicago area, or if you need something from this area, we need to hook up so I can see this work up close. Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming!
There was a guy with a crimson red denim road glide that had some striping done. The guy used what looked like process blue (kind of like Ford Grabber blue) and a shade of orange if I remember correctly. Not what you'd expect, but was incredible.
Either way, have fun with it, make sure you post some pics. If ya don't mind me asking, what are ya charging him? PM me if you want. Its funny, I lande my first job the other day. Its a buddy of mine, so I am going to do it for free and it wont't be until a year from now when he returns from Afghanistan...
