Anyone offer flexible pinstripe decals?

[Monty]

I've got an idea or two for some two-tone paintjobs but would like to use a pinstripe to separate and set off the two colors a la this:

Obviously the straight lines would be easy but following the wheel wells on many cars would not. 

Basically I'm looking for pinstripe decals in a variety of colors, that could be "worked" to follow a given pattern or profile, assuming such a thing exists.  Not really interested in "tape" options as they don't seem to offer much flexibility.

Interesting stuff. Pinstriping is perhaps the most frustrating part of trying to create a graphics package for a replica of a given car. I've tried a number of different approaches with varying degrees of success, but never fully satisfied. Some of this nail art stuff looks quite intriguing. I just checked some out on Amazon. Quite a rabbit hole there. Lots of interesting graphic products that could be useful for model cars, especially the low rider guys.

Paint the stripe.

1. Stick a strip of yellow Tamiya masking tape to a piece of glass. Then use a metal straight edge, and a fresh xacto blade to cut the Tamiya tape into very narrow strips.
2. Paint the area where you want the stripe in the bright color of choice. Then lay down your thin strips of tape where you want the stripe.
3. After that, mask off the body above or below the stripe, mask off whichever area you want to be the darker color.
4. Then paint the lighter color onto the upper or lower part of the body.
5. Remove all the masking EXCEPT the narrow strip where the stripe is.
6. Mask the lighter color
7. Paint the darker color.
8. Remove all masking and you will have the two tone paint scheme with the stripe. All in paint.

You can buy decal sheets that are completely covered in one color. Then you could cut it yourself. Still will be very tricky, I recently bought a sheet of gold for this but I haven’t tried it yet

IIRC, Microscale sells sheets of decal stripes of various widths and colors.
