the painter charged me an extra $25 to hand paint the matching stripes on my fairing, then cleared over them. you can't even feel the stripes are there, but they sure look good!
i put an aftermarket fairing (Deadcentercyclesfairing) on my 07 Road King and its the best investment i made on the scooter yet. I went all out with striping, airbrush graphics,all paint no tape,spend the extra you will be glad you did.

You can bury the pin stripping under the clear coat. You just have to make sure you wet sand that clear coat. This will remove the tape's edge. Then either clear it again, or compound it out. Ive did this to several paintings I've done in the past. As for now. I too am looking for pin stripping tape to match my 93's pin stripping.
Thanks, RJ
Get the small bottles of touchup paint. The ones that cone with the small brush attaches to the cap. They come in the correct colors for the year of the pinstripes you nred. Get the painter to dilute the paint & load it into his gun. Now he will be able to perfectly match the original pinstripes. Most guys painting use pinstriping tape. Wetsand before painting and after to make the lines as smooth as possible. Clear cost and you're good for a long time.

I have an 08 RK colors crimson red sunglow and candy.Just bought an after market fairing.Arranging to paint it and just found out the factory pinstripe is paint. Need to know if anyone knows if it is possible to buy adhesive pinstripe to match to keep my cost down.planning to clear coat over stripe.By the way I bought an invicta fairing off of ebay and it is VERY good quality.Beats the hell out of 1500.00 to 2000.00 for the others out there.Will post pics when I have the finished product.
