Covered in MAFCA's Model A Ford Paint & Finish Guide.

I believe there is a revised 3rd edition published.

I am supposed to have the striping done this weekend and I want to make sure he follows the code. Can I get the right page on line or do I have to put the job off until I can buy the book ?
Thanks wayne

From J Standards: "Pin striping was applied to all passenger ve­hicles to accent the lines of the car. Pin striping was applied by two workers, one for each side of the car as it traveled down the assembly line. Conse­quently, variations in line width or pattern some­times existed on the same car. Special lacquer paint was used since the paint had to be dry within 10 minutes. Ford specified a particular pinstripe pattern for each body. The width of pin striping was specified as 1 /8" wide with a few exceptions. In actual practice, all pin striping was actually closer to 3/32' wide, re­gardless of the specified line width."

Charles,

Which revision of the J Standards did you quote or where did it say what you quoted? I could not find that in the 2011 revision.
