g-g-g0 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 When I was inquiring about striping wheels, as you indicated, a pin striper was recommended and it was suggested to inquire at motor cycle shops for talented ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) You can use an inexpensive pinstriping tool like this. Multiple wheels let you choose the width. Hold the tool steady and spin your wheel. The gauge is used to steady the tool against a part of the wheel. This video will give you an idea as to what/how you can do it. The girl in the video is using a professional tool, but the cheap ones work just as well.
