The original plywood is delaminating. Can someone tell me how to replicate the pinstripes? Were they tape of some sort or hand painted? Were they put on pre or post varnish? Material?

I had great luck with 1/8 white pin striping from the automotive store. I put a coat of marine varnish down first, then the striping, then several more coats of varnish... looks great. If you check my old posts you may find a link to some pictures of the actual seats, seat back, and dash I made. Good luck. -Marty Back to top Phil Joined: 15 Aug 2010 Posts: 4 Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 6:40 pm    Post subject: Pin striping Thanks for the info Marty - appreciate it. I am new to the forum and not sure how to look for your previous post though. Can you tell me how?

Taped on stripes will likely move around and come loose where you sit on them and when passengers step on the seats to board.
