Paint from photo?

[CHMMX]

This might better belong in another forum but... If I went to a good paint shop and I showed them photos of the pinstriping on my spider could they replicate it perfectly? Or at least near enought to perfect?

Paint and body shops have rolls of different colors and widths of accent stripes. They can even have a little machine that can cut a wider stripe down. It all depends on the quality of your picture as to how well they can duplicate it.

an adventurous guy like you should easily be able to go to AutoZone and pick up your own pinstriping kit and do it yourself for under $25

remove all of the old pinstriping, thorougly clean the surface (get all of the old wax off) and have some patience. a little while later you will have it done.

it is honestly a simple task.

Mike is right ,spend the money somewhere else.I have pinstriped many vehicles myself and I'm sure with a little practice you can do the same job as the body shop.Get it running and shifting good first ,you'll have plenty of time for pinstriping later.

The Fiat would be a hard one for a first timer, especially around the door handle.

depending on the door, Denise.... My '80 has the pinstriping ABOVE the door handle, it follows the contour of the door quite well and misses the handle nicely.
