Re: Painting Accent Stripes
Pin striping is an art. Watched a real life stripper do the fancy work on a car one time. The attached video, while not a car, shows what a skilled hand can do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsTIMxeO_ng PS, turn down the audio.

I have no other references but I do know that the mechanical striping devices were available in the model A timeline. The Beugler Company's first device was filed for patent in 1933 and I've seen others like the Scoles device. It is true that most of the branches did use brushes by hand but it would not surprise me if they would have been interested in the mechanical device to stripe long straight paneled bodies since the mechanical devices generally can work a lot longer without reloading plus it may have been easier to train people to use a mechanical device and lesser skilled folks could still produce a decent product. |

The man with a million dollar memory I looked up the Sept/Oct 1075 Restorer and you are correct although I seem to remember the photo being from the driver's side and a pin striper working on both sides at the same time. My memory is only worth 2 cents TOB |

Re: Painting Accent Stripes
I wonder what their pay grade was compared to a line worker?

They would have been out of a job by the mid thirties from when cars had hardly any lines painted on. |
