Custom Car Pinstriping by Bill

I am a pinstriper with over 30 years of experience.  I make hand painted designs and/or stripes on cars to provide them with additional creative expressibility.

A Signature of Geometry

This is a side-stripe header for a design I did many years ago.  Here we chose two lighter shades of pastel-toned paint to sit on the hard black of the vehicle.  The design attempts to work with the contour of the car body, manifesting as the vehicle’s signature.

Moving Forward

 

This design is seen in side-view and has a space-bending, deterministic flavor to it.  Here we can see a targeted ambition flowing in a calm yet energetic aura.

Accentuating Points

Here we are highlighting the lines leading to termination at the point of this hood with a deep red.  It gives the vehicle curb appeal via “artistic aerodynamics.”

Transitions

Here we create style out our car’s “natural” geometry.  As an expression, this side stripe header makes a signature at the termination, leaving a unique footprint.

Custom Car Pinstriping

I can make a customized design on your car at my home in Farmingdale, NJ.  I ask that, if you are interested, to please allow for leaving your vehicle and/or components at my house for later pickup.  I also can stripe parts in a “you-mail-me,” “I mail-you-back” setup.  Thank you for your patience – no work rushed is as good as when given time to attention.

Thank you!

Custom Pinstriping by Bill

Custom pinstriping is a speciality service I have been offering since 1986. I do hand painted striping on cars, motorcycles, guitars any anything else I can get my hands on. 

Here are some examples of my work:

BMW

Here is a BMW I striped to ornament the BMW hood emblem.  I used a two-tone color harmony that blends nicely with the color of the vehicle and color scheme of the emblem.  The gray in the stipe blends with the white of the hood and emblem.  The red stands as a strong contrasting color to the blue in the emblem.

Volkswagen

This is a simple, single toned design I did on a Volkswagen.  The tight, symmetrical patterning is indicative of the “old-school” pinstriping style, popularized in the 1970’s but still appreciated today.

Surfboard

This a design I completed recently on a surfboard.  This went with a 3 toned color scheme, something that would go well with the natural color of the board with its inner stripe.  Out came something aerodynamic, with the overall flow of the design flowing with the contour of the board itself.  Additionally, the entire design, from a certain perspective, looks like a fish – appropriate given the medium.

Chevy

Here we have another simple yet effective design.  The two colors we chose for this stripe really pop against the white of the vehicle.  Balance here is apparent, as we see that the Chevy emblem serves as the center point for the design.

Pontiac

This design has an unmistakable retro vibe to it.  We chose a neon light orange to sit atop the unique green of the vehicle.  The black is subtle but adds a nice layer of depth to the design.  Again notice the symmetry and patterning of the old school striping style.

Car Pinstriping by Bill

Since I started my trade thirty-two years ago, car pinstriping has been my main area of focus.  I do strictly hand-painted pinstriping using One Shot lettering enamels.  Yes, old school style pinstripers still exist, and you know their work when you see it.  A hand-painted pinstripe defines the body lines of a car, and with new model produced, pinstriping adds definition.

Harmony is key – when its comes to aesthetics, we’re looking for that fine balance between prominence and subtlety.

Old School Design

While I’m capable of duplicating any design that best fits your needs, I initially grew my business around the “old school” style of car pinstriping.  Old school pinstriping can best be described as a tight, intricate series of lines, often in symmetrical patterns, that complement the color and contour of the car.  This style of pinstriping is typically abstract, representing nothing but keen aesthetics.  The way I stripe, I honestly never get the same design twice – while I can make your stripe match the style I’ve used on thousands of other vehicles, your’s will be unique in its own right.

Attention to detail is crucial as we create a design for your vehicle – there is no one-size-fits all approach.

Color

Color matching is something that I’ve gained a knack for over the years, as it is a crucial component in a good design.  Complimenting the exterior color as well as the interior color is the usual approach, but sometimes you might want to add “pop” with vivid colors.  Popular to conventional wisdom, painted pinstripes can be removed without damaging the clear coat on the vehicle, additionally, if desired, you can go over the existing pinstripe with a totally different color. There is much that can be expressed through color choice, so I will help you discover what it is you’re trying to communicate through your design – this way, your stripe truly represents you.

We will add expression to your stripe with careful color choice.
