You can do this pinstriping yourself.Use thinnest available duct tape with atleast 1/2" width. stick it on the green painted area where you wish to do striping so that both tape run parallel to themselves. Leave a thickness required for striping inbetween them..around 1-1.5 mm. Run a thin layer of golden/silver paint between this line. LET IT DRY OUT COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU REMOVE THE UNWANTED DUCT TAPE. This is how I go for line work. Of course this takes a while but at least you get a pleasure that you did it!!! or else you need see the best line art worker in your town & pay him handsomely to get this done.... Cheers...
