Yep Well said. That is my hands down favorite "modern style" AD truck and like everything else on it the pinstripes flow in with the rest of the whole theme and don't dominate it.

Personally I prefer pinstriping that you don't see from 50 ft away, kind of make out at 25 ft away and then go "man that looks nice at 5 ft away. I don't like striping that so dominates the car you see the striping before you notice what car it's on.
I love the art work part of it but think a lot of it overpowers the vehicle it's on rather than accents it. Think back, there was a vehicle at one of the last shows you vividly remember the incredible pinstriping job on but can't remember what kind of car or truck it was.

Re: Pinstripes? lets see em'

I saw this truck today at a little car show here that I will do a thread on in a minute.




Nice detailing striping that doesn't own the the truck.

That's pretty much what i paid ($195). For me I was willing to pay whatever for good talent. When I saw the stripes this guy could lay down I knew I found my guy.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. For me this means my truck is 99.9% done.
