Pin stripe wheels
Does anyone know of stencils that can be used to pin stripe circles on Ford 16 inch wheels? Thanks Joe

Re: Pin stripe wheels
Hi Joe
I have used pin stripers to paint the stripes on rims They typically use a jig the rim bolts to - then they spin the rim while holding the brush steady - and there you go pin stripes. Of course pin stripers have steady hands which is key! I would seek out a local pin stripe artist I paid the pin striper $30 per rim - $120 for the full set.

Re: Pin stripe wheels
The Beugler stripping tool works great.. I had my '36 Ford coupe repainted in 1961, there was not a professional stripper within 60 + miles of me so I purchased a Beugler stripping tool and the smallest can of apple green automotive enamel I could buy..
I practiced on some various items to get the feel of the tool, then went after the car. The results were great, I've used the stripping tool on many other projects.. My advise is to be patient with the project... Haste makes waste..

Re: Pin stripe wheels
Here is how I done it. Worked out great. The stripping tool is a Beulgler.

Re: Pin stripe wheels
I put pin striping tape on my wheels before coating with the clear coat. Over 5 years ago and they are fine!

Re: Pin stripe wheels
Cecil has a great suggestion if there isn't a good pinstriper in your area or you don't have tool like Tagman's. My 40 has pinstriped wheels using the tape method under the clear coat as Cecil suggests. It turned out to be simpler and more accurate than I thought.
