Schwinn pin striping

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

I have a few fenders with half pins on the backside. They must have been getting the pinstriper rolling smooth before they did the top.

HOLA TO THE CABERS!!! here's a short video of the Schwinn paint pinstripes!!! using the old fashion way, by hand!!! as you can see in the video, he said, thatuse blue painter tape, sometimes, but he preferred to doing like the factory did it, in those glorious days! enjoy it!!!

Your '62 Typhoon would have painted fenders I think the pinstripe that was done with a fixed pin stripe machine that each fender was fed through I could be wrong. The only way to duplicate that would be hand painted unless one had a striping machine. The Chain guard would have been screen painted, all other decals would have been water slides. I believe all of what you need is reproduced check bicycle bones on the ebay. They make a water slide for the chain guard so you do not have to screen it. Good luck

Thank you greatly for the information.
Have a great day

Aparently these were fixtures used in the Schwinn Factory, "paint masks" I've seen them called.

I can't seem to find a picture of the headligh one...

The paint remnants under the fenders...I always assumed that was from them being stacked together before they were completely dry.

Cool,
Thank you
