Default Pinstriping

Just wondering what creative ideas on pinstriping some of you have done with your trucks, whether its free hand or tape. If this has been done before my bad couldn't find anything. Thanks

While I'm indifferent, I think most here are against pin-striping. That being said, I've seen some designs at car shows (paint/free hand) that looked awesome but way outside my skill set. I'd be impressed if I could manage a straight line.

I'd be interested in seeing examples of these trucks with pinstriping also.

I don.t have any pictures but I've had a two color stripe done on my 97 F150, with about the last three inches on tailgate end of the top stripe at about a 30 degree angle from horizontal with Odie pulling on the stripe. Cost was $90. Had tailgate on my strretrod done 2 years ago (not a pinstripe but done freehand) and it was $75. Not that expensive of a mod.

tailhook- is that the same grey that is used in the 4x4 decal? I'm looking to break up the all white with a little color and was thinking of the grey in the 4x4 decal.Did you stripe the tailgate or stop at the tail lights

That's is exactly what I'd do. I have a black truck and think grey or red would look nice. Yours looks perfect.

Mine is magnetic with a silver stripe. Dealer installed as well. I thought I'd remove it when I took of the 4x4 stickers, but I decided to try it out. Still not sure how I feel about it...

Its actually two stripes, black and silver or grey. It matches the 4x4 decal. The pin stripe stops at the tail lights.
