find an old school sign painter who can still use lettering brushes and have them painted on...


I see you are on Long Island - my brother can do that - he does lettering and pinstriping - I have his info at home - his business is called Dom's Hand Painted

#1 on finding an old school sign painter. Unfortunately, they are getting harder to find. If you're looking for the same type of design on the bags as what came from the factory, check whether the painter is comfortable with straight line striping. And ask to see some samples or pictures. Straight line striping is a whole different ball game, which many find much more difficult than the fancy design work.

yes this is true - Dom has done 60's car beltline pinstripes too. I was just saying that if you are going to invest in hand painted stipes, you might want to upgrade the bike's style a little while you are at it.

Had an old school pinstriper paint mine a few weeks back. Painted the stock red pinstripe from red to black. Check out car shows or call around car dealerships to see if they got a pinstriper.
