Call Lines by Talton pinstriping.

Even after 15 years of being around custom paint, pinstriping, I still pay a pinstriper to do this kind of thing. it's an art, and takes years to get good with it.

There are alot of books, videos, and websites on pinstriping. All will tell you basic techniques for holding your brush, loading it with paint, and pulling lines. Practice on paper with Sign Painter's 1 Shot. Practice straight lines, left and right curves. Clean the brushes good, and keep them in brush oil. Good luck.
