Just hoping for a link or contact here.

I have a 1979 Special Edition Trans Am which I want to give a really nice repaint.

Rather than using the normal stick-on pinstripe transfers which soon look tatty when caught by sponges and polish cloths, I want the pinstriping (there is a lot on these cars) painted in the old way by hand when the base coat is finished so it can be lacquered over.

Trouble is, I just can't find a proper old school hand pinstripe specialist.

Anybody out there with a recommendation please - I can't believe these skills only exist on Overhaulin'.

Get yourself to one of the NSRA rod & custom shows, like Old Warden or Ipswich, there will be a few there & you can see the quality of the work.
