Default Pinstriping/Flames

Hey all, I'm looking to add flames/pistriping on our new 2012 Vivid Black SG. I know there's way to many factors for exact quotes just a general idea, pictures and prices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Doug

you want to "audition" painters and see what they are capable of--- ask to see their scrap book, they all do.

find something they are competent doing, then ask for a quote

some are better than others

Default Easy and Inexpensive Fix

I will probably get flamed by some for suggesting this but I suggest you go to PurpleIron.com
They make a stick on type of pinstripe in every concievable color and style you can imagine. I used a silver metal flake pin on my black pearl street glide. The stuff is very inexpensive, applies very easily, and once you wax over it wears like iron. Best part is you can quickly remove and change the entire look or theme if you grow tired of it. I have been using it for a few years and like it. People always ask where I got my pinstiping done. They have entire sheets of designs that you simply peel the backing, press into place, and then pull backing. Check it out.

Went to PurpleIron.com ... not my cup of tea. You might as well go to Toys-R-Us and buy some stickers in the prepubescent boys aisle.

Old-school pinstripes and flames are like tattoos. The real deal looks like it, stands out and it comes down to a commitment.
