[W126 Coupe] 560 SEC question: Pinstripes

[malcolm369 at comcast.net]

 Hi Andy,

Years ago, in the mid 1970's, a fellow who worked in the local Benz dealership did some pin-striping for me.. He said it was his job to put a stripe on each car as it was received into inventory. This was done with paint and a really long bristled brush..

He did at least 4 striping jobs for me over time,  and they have all lasted well, including a large Tonka dump truck that withstood the young (at the time) attentions of my nephew at play... :)

Paint, in each case was applied atop any clear coats, and seems to have stood up well.

My SEC has been striped over the clear coat all those years ago too.... Still looks super..

My two cents..  MBL
