Pin striping (or coach striping) was definitely used back in the 1900-1914
era. However it was used to outline panels-not continuous.

Would they have still been brush painted in 1914? When did spray

My Dad's 1936 Armstrong Siddeley has some very nice hand pinstriping on
it too - that would be fun to reproduce.
I guess it depends on just how original it has to be ;-)

The cars would have been hand-built back then. It was probably a case of
anything goes.
That would be my belief too!
None of this any-colour-so-long-as-it's-black stuff at Sunbeam. :-)
YEH!
Thanks and cheers
