Customize Your Certified BMW with Pinstriping

A full-on custom paintjob for your new or certified used BMW can be a pretty expensive undertaking. In today’s economy, it might not make sense to shell out the cash necessary to get the paint job you want. For a whole lot less money, you can add pinstriping to your BMW for a totally custom look that won’t break the bank.

Pinstriping can be so much more than adding a couple of lines of paint to your already existing paintjob, although sometimes a couple of lines is the understated look you’re going for! The people who create professional pinstriping in the Philadelphia area and beyond are artists, and their work can be as simple or as ornate as your taste and imagination will allow. From basic lines and stripes to full-on flame jobs, pinstriping is all about customizing your car to fit your style.

You can find pinstripe artists in PA or DE by looking in the yellow pages or by doing an Internet search by typing “pinstripe” in your search bar along with cities or dealers in Philadelphia, West Chester, Fort Washington, Wilmington, etc. Because paint is permanent, you definitely want to do a little background checking on any artist that you are considering. Ask to see photos of his or her work. Oftentimes, an artist will have a particular style that will be obvious when you see a few examples of previous work. Referrals are one of the best ways to find artists that have good reputations, and your BMW dealer may even have some suggestions. You might also consider checking with former customers to see how satisfied they were with the job done, as well as whether or not the work has stood up over time.

If you know that you’d like to do something unique but don’t have a specific idea in mind, the pinstripe artist will usually work with you to help come up with an idea together. Ask him or her to sketch it out so that you have a clear idea of what the graphics will look like, what colors will be used, and where they will appear on your BMW.

The setup can be as varied as the artists, so whether you want to visit a specialized shop or have the pinstriping done in your own driveway, you can find someone who is willing and able to oblige. From West Chester to Exton and from Devon to Mt. Laurel, there are excellent pinstriping artists that can customize your certified BMW just for you.
