​48 years of top quality, eye catching designs!​

I've been striping cars before they are sold for car dealers since 1976.
I stripe in a very pleasingly stylish way to make stock vehicles look sharp and sell faster.

I custom stripe for individuals.
Using a brush for custom freehand painted pinstriping and custom printed or solid color vinyl wrap for larger graphics.

I letter & logo office windows, doors and vehicles.
On-site installation of solid color sign vinyl, custom printed or solid color vinyl wrap.

I repair stripes at collision centers.
Where I match colors and different custom pinstriping and vinyl styles.​

After school in the winter of 1976 from the back of his moped. Jack was airbrushing stripes on cars for dealers.

​I owe it all to my dad getting me in business. He was the used car manager at Johnson & son Lincoln-Mercury in Costa Mesa. He took in a 64 T-Bird on trade in and gave it to me.

I'd just bought my airbrush so I masked off and painted a cool sleek stripe down the sides.
When dad came home and saw it he told me to come down to the lot after school and perk up some used cars.

The new Capri just came out and the new car manager had me start striping them too.
Then it evolved to adding racing stripes on them.

Other dealers saw my work at dealer meetings or the race track and started using me and my business really grew.

When he got his new van in 1977 Jack added vinyl pinstriping and re-dying faded vinyl tops on used cars to his mobile business.

Dad also had me get into re-dying faded vinyl tops and interiors on his trade in's - so I got a new 77' Chevy van. I built out the interior to hold all of my paints and dyes. Air compressor and spray guns.

Then "tape" vinyl stripes came out right when import and a lot of 4 cylinder cars took off.
So I stretched them stripes down just about every car on the lot at a bunch of car dealers.

Along with stick-on wheel opening moldings and door edge protectors.
I was striping hundreds of cars every month.

In 1986 Cars & Stripes mobile hand painted pinstriping service was born. Jack became the "GO-TO!" pinstriper for North County San Diego car dealers and bodyshops.

In 1979 I met a cool hand painted pinstriper at the Toyota-Volvo dealership in Mission Viejo. He gave me a few pointers while letting me watch him brush on stripes.

I practiced and practiced in my spare time on and off for years then finally figured it out.

I'd just moved to Carlsbad in 1985 and cell phones came out.
​I put one in another new van and people started ringing that phone off the hook.

Dad came to work for me and hit up all the dealers and the body shops. 
They liked our on time reliability, color matching and really liked his salesmanship.

I wound up hand painting pinstripes on an average of 20 cars a day at 12 different locations. 

​​We were so busy I trained my brother Jeff to pinstripe too.

1991 saw Jack offering mobile computer cut vinyl lettering and graphics. Along with expanding into South Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Jeff and I bought matching vans and Scott at Shaw's Autosport painted them.

I kept getting asked for lettering and I didn't have time to learn how to hand paint alphabets so I bought the new vinyl cutter and sign software that just came out.

I built the whole system into my van so I could letter up cars, trucks, vans
​and office windows and doors on the spot.

It had a new Intel 486, Graphtec cutter and Mutoh drafting machine
along with all of my pinstriping gear.

Followed by custom vinyl car wrapping in 2006. Adding in house wrap printing, cutting and laminating in 2016.

​I found my first solid wrapping vinyl from France and nobody had heard of the stuff.

I used some gloss red with black carbon fiber on two pace cars for Lexus Carlsbad.
It was a hit, so we always had matte black and carbon fiber in the truck all the time.

We did a lot of hoods and roofs and large multi layered designs using
textured, solid colored wrap and high performance vinyl.

Then every one wanted their chrome blacked out with the vinyl's. Then their whole car!

Adding print and cut capability in house was a big plus.
It really helps me fit any budget by letting me do about anything possible.
