Yesss !!!!!
It's important to keep the neighbourhood entertained.
True story time.
About 20 yrs ago I came home from school to see my brothers car , a maroon coloured VW Golf, with newspaper stuck to side.I asked him what he was doing. He explained he was spray painting the car. I didn't think much more of it since the paintwork was in need of touching up.
To my horror I returned home from school the next day to find a huge "starsky and hutch" stripe down the side of the car. A freakin' VW Golf !!!.
Oh the shame! The embaressment ! I had to learn to drive in that bloody car!
I need to find some pics.........

All I can say is that pinstriping is very 1986. So maybe it is fine for you since you like that year

No pinstripes, please.
I think pinstripes looked fine on 80's vintage BMW models to complement their more rounded edges ... but on Bangle's flame surfaces, no way.

I like subtle pinstripes. I saw just don't over do it, and I like complimentary stripes, rather than, overly contrasting stripes. Who cares if its a BMW. Done right, stripes should look good.
