Drive On: Pinstriping becoming a lost art

Danny Taylor was demonstrating a vanishing art last week at the SEMA trade show in Las Vegas. He showed off his craft of the past 38 years, pinstriping.

With a brush with long, narrow bristles, he creates perfect squiggles on car hoods, doors, tops -- just about anywhere.

"I never measure anything," Taylor says. It doesn't seem like he needs to. He demonstrated his perfect symmetry on a metal plate, painting intersecting curves.

He says he's able to create a design on one side of the car, then go around and create a the same one on the other. Then, he says, owners will exclaim about how the two hand-drawn designs are identical despite having been hand drawn without a template.
