The pin strips on this car are painted on, BUT these were done with masking after the first base coat and first clear coat, then 4 more clear coats. Lots of work.
Tape, cheaper and quicker, but lacks the artistic touch.
I’m going to call some local body shops see if someone knows someone still doing pin striping by hand with paint. 66 was a great year for Mustang.
