Pin stripe wheels

[Joe Harrill]

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

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.

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..

I used the Beugler tool many years ago to pin stripe the wheels on my 28 Buick. It did a great job. I am about to embark on pin striping my 35 pickup which has one stripe all the way around the hood and cab. I will practice on a few things first. The hands aren't as steady as they used to be. lol

Here is how I done it. Worked out great. The stripping tool is a Beulgler.

Here's the tool I made up to pinstripe wheels. Worked great.:

My Dad had a pin striper, and like a lot of other things that disappear over time, I thought that this was one of them....."assumed" that free hand was the only way left.... Thanks for the Beugler link and every ones comments and photos .......

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

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.
