Pickup Pinstripe Ideas

You can customize your pickup truck with pinstripes, which can iclude more than just the decorative lines that run the sides of pickup trucks and passenger cars. You can also apply pinstriping to your pickup truck's hood and cargo bed. Use your creativity so your pickup truck stands out in a parking lot.

Messages

  • Display your personal message on the driver's side and passenger's side doors. For this pickup pinstripe idea, your personal message should flow into the remaining of the truck's pinstriping without breaking the lines. Choose clever and personal messages, such as "My Ford Pickup Truck." You can also incorporate the car manufacturer's slogan, such as "Built Ford Tough" or "Chevy---Like a Rock," into the pickup's pinstripe design.

Barbed Wire

  • Apply barbed wire pinstriping along each side of the vehicle, an idea that would suit rugged pickup trucks. For a realistic look, use silver barbed wire. However, other colors such as white can also work. Above all, use a color of barbed wire pinstriping that matches the pickup truck's exterior color.

Animal Parts

  • Stretch out an animal's tail or other body part to use as a pinstripe for your pickup truck. The animal's tail should cover both sides of your pickup truck. Use animals that have long tails such as lions, lizards, monkeys and tigers. You can also use an elephant's trunk, a bird's wing or a giraffe's neck as pinstriping for your pickup truck.

Sports Theme

  • Sports theme pickup pinstripe designs can illustrate the force behind basketballs, footballs, baseballs and other sports balls. For each sports theme pinstripe, stream the ball down each side of the pickup truck. You can also apply a picture of a sports player throwing the ball at the end of the pinstriping. The trail of force the player leaves behind the ball creates the pickup truck's pinstriping.
