I just used an ordinary (cheapo) 1/4 in brush, Red C-8 paint from Finesse Pinstriping (good quality, high-gloss enamel) and Striper pinstriping stencil tape (F-10, 3/32") This produces excellent results for the non-professional; I have great admiration and respect for anyone who can freehand pinstripe using a long-haired pinstriping brush... THAT is a skill I don't have. Finesse also sells excellent plastic masking tape, which I have used in the past for greating chevrons, arrows, panels, etc... If you like to dress up your frames, fenders, racks, components, etc. with a splash of paint, these guys sell pretty much whatever you need. These fenders will be going on my red '89 Trek 970, and will get a set of custom wheels, Bosco Bullmoose bars, barend shifters and these (cheapo) Avid V-brake levers (painted... wow, like... red). BTW this is code-named Project RED, don't ask why...
