pinstriping
Thin painted stripes
Pinstriping is the application of thin decorative lines to vehicles, typically along body panels or edges.
The technique originated with hand-painted carriage work and remains popular on custom cars and motorcycles.
A pinstriper uses special brushes to create flowing lines, often with flourishes or designs at the ends.
The term also covers the thin stripes themselves: The hot rod had classic pinstriping along the fenders.
