Just sitting around and killing sometime before going back to work and I was wondering if any knows how the pin-striping was done on the really ornate lugs back in the day.
On many of the fancier stripping jobs, there is always a small amount of space between the edge of the lug and the stripe.
IMO, It is much nicer than the stuff done with a paint pen. I have heard some people say a ruling pen was used if that was the case how do you think it was done without marring the paint etc.
Stripping on those tight curves of the early Schwinn Paramount's..Just Wow.
Any ideas? Any pictures?
Best, Ben

Fine work, clean, not too heavy!

The original appears much cleaner than the "restored" work from Waterford.
