'''Pin striping''' (or '''pinstriping''') is the application of a very thin line of [[paint]] or other material called a pin stripe, and is generally used for decoration. Freehand pin stripers use a specialty brush known as a [[pinstriping brush]].

Automotive, bike shops, and do-it-yourself car and motorcycle mechanics use paint pin striping to create their own custom look on the automotive bodies and parts.
