Technical Pinstripe your wheels

After painting my roadster wheels yellow they needed something besides the hubcaps. Didn't want beauty rings as once on that's it, you take them off you've got big scratches. I saw some post here on old stock pinstriped wheels and thought it would look good on my rims. I bought a Beugler pinstripe tool as I have no experience with hand pinstriping and doubt my hands are steady enough anymore. I made a jig to hold and swing the Beugler tool. Below are a series of photos that show the process. I think they came out pretty good, your thoughts?

So ... what do you think?

 

Looks great!

 

Well.... that’s the “bees knees”. Well done.

 

Thanks Guthrie!
The photos got a little out of sequence but you guys get the idea.

Those look Awesome! Maybe I can get you to do mine next

 

Outstanding! Love it.

 

Damn that looks good!

 

Very nice, both the tool and the final results.

nice job

 

I've always liked the factory pin striped wheels. To me, they add a note of " period correctness " to the '40's and '50's cars. Yours came out extremely well, good job

 

Nice!

 

Great job!

 

Very nice

 

Dang it mon - that's slicker than snot on a door knob

Really nice Like the look

 

Great job they really look nice.

 

great tech info and final results - saw a guy do wheel pinstripes freehand

 

Excellent!! love pinstriped wheels--all of my 40's have had them by a local striper-really adds a nice detail.

 

These are Free hand by a striper in Costa Mesa not turning the wheel..they are on an OT F-150 but I like your idea and work

 

Nice Job! I did single stripes with a makeshift guide and found it difficult to match up at the start finish. Yours look great.

 

Very nice work/tech, thank you! Perhaps you can convince Ford to bring this back and then be the head honcho of the program...

 

Nicely done! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and setup!

 

Well done! I always wondered how I might do that. Your solution is great.

 

Those turned out nice

 

That's good enough for government work.
Your jig for centering and making the circuit is probably equal to anything the factory had. I award you the 'AT'A'BOY of the week!

 

That’s genius!
Thanks for sharing.

 

Awesome

 

Yeah Thats pretty dang cool. You thought about making the jigs and selling them? I would buy one. That looks great!
