A Storied Tradition: The Art of Pinstriping

Pinstriping, the art of applying very thin lines of paint or vinyl, has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. Originally, it was used to decorate horse-drawn carriages, adding a touch of elegance and showcasing custom craftsmanship. Over time, pinstriping made its way onto automobiles, becoming symbols of style and uniqueness. It evolved over the years, embraced by various subcultures and industries, and became a respected practice representing both tradition and rebellion. The Scotchcal Pinstripe Collection and 3M Reflective Pinstripes build on this rich history, offering a modern take on a classic art form with the added benefit of increased nighttime visibility.
