Default pinstriping where to find someone ?

I would like to get soem simple but elegant old school pinstripping done on my Street Glide, but I don't have the faintest idea of where to start looking for someone in my area to do it. Any suggestions out there? BTW, I live in Pittsburgh, PA.

New car dealers often use pinstrippers to put that personal touch on a new customers car, suv, truck etc. I would go to any new car dealer in your area and inquire and they should be able to hook you up...................BG

Yeah, I was there too and saw him. I have also seen other pinstripers/custom painters at other State HOG Rallies. It's for sure you'll find one at a SHR.

Contact the Manheim auction up in that area. They will have someone contracted to place pinstripes on cars, motorcycles, etc.

Ride safe,

Thanks for the replies so far. One other question. Do the pinstripes just get painted on the bike, or is a second clear coat put overtop of them?
