Welcome
I have been doing this for over 35 years now. My name is Tony and I run Tony’s Pinstriping. What started with a brush and real paint turned into more than just custom work on vehicles,it also became an automotive lifestyle brand for people who live this stuff every day. If you like cars,motorcycles,hot rods,and the whole garage scene then you already get it,a ride isn't finished until it has some soul. That same soul shows up in my garage lifestyle clothing and hot rod apparel too. My Phoenix pinstriping history is a big part of what makes the brand real,but you do not have to live in the desert to wear it. I ship my apparel nationwide so you can wear the feel of a hand-painted ride wherever you are. You can find all my gear at astripe.com.

The Art of the Brush
Pinstriping is a lost art for some people but not for me. I use a steady hand and high-quality paints to make sure the work lasts. In Phoenix the sun is hot and it can be mean to paint so you have to use the right stuff. I specialize in hand-painted pinstriping which means no tape and no stickers. It is just me and the brush. I do cars,motorcycles,hot rods,and even golf carts. People in Phoenix love their golf carts and I can make yours look like a million bucks with some custom scroll work or some classic straight lines.

I have worked on just about everything you can imagine in the last three decades. I do lettering and gold leaf too. If you have a business truck and you want it to look professional but with a custom touch then hand-lettering is the way to go. It shows people that you care about the details. I am mobile in many cases so I can come to you in the Phoenix area if that makes it easier for your schedule. You can check out my portfolio at astripe.com/portfolio/portfolio-masonry-grid to see what I have been up to lately.

Rocking the Gear
When I am not painting I am thinking about designs for my clothing line. I wanted to build an automotive lifestyle brand that gearheads actually want to wear. These aren't thin shirts that fall apart after one wash. They are built for the garage lifestyle clothing crowd,for people who spend weekends in the shop,at shows,on rides,or just living around cool machines. One of my favorites is the Cadi Daddy Pinstriper T-Shirt. It has that classic look that fits right in at any car show,meet-up,or garage hangout anywhere in the country. You can grab one right here: Cadi Daddy Tee.

Another big seller is the Who’s Your Daddy Pinstriper T-Shirt. It has a great retro pinstripe design on it that really shows off the craft. This is hot rod apparel with a real hand-painted influence behind it,not generic artwork made to look like car culture. My Phoenix roots and years behind the brush give the whole line its authenticity,but the gear is for anybody who loves the culture no matter where they live. You can find that shirt and others like the Taildragger Retro Tee at astripe.com/product-category/t-shirts. We have sizes for everyone and we ship nationwide fast so you can start wearing them.

Why Hand-Painted Matters
In a world full of digital prints and vinyl wraps there is something special about paint. When you run your finger over a pinstripe I painted you can feel the slight edge of the paint. It has texture. It has a human element that a machine just can't copy. I take a lot of pride in my work because my name is on it. I have been serving the Phoenix community for a long time and I want to keep doing it for many more years. Whether it is a small accent on a fender or a full-blown custom design on a hood I treat every job with the same respect.

I also do a lot of Southwest-inspired artwork. Being in Arizona gave me a style and color sense that still shows up in my work,and that Phoenix history is part of the authenticity behind the brand. I incorporate those colors and shapes into my pinstriping and my apparel designs,but the message is bigger than one place. Even if you aren't in the desert,you can still wear the soul of a hand-painted ride. If you follow me on Facebook at tony.pinstriping or on Instagram at tonyspinstriping you can see videos of me actually pulling lines. It looks easy when you watch it but it took me 35 years to make it look that way.

Mobile Service and Availability
I know people are busy. You have work and family and you don't always have time to drop your car off and leave it. That is why I offer mobile service in the Phoenix Metro area. I can come to your garage or your shop and do the work right there. As long as it is a clean area where I can get my brushes out I am good to go. I do a lot of work on 75th Ave & Union Hills but I travel all over the valley.

If you are looking for a gift for a car person then my shop has plenty of options. Besides t-shirts I have hoodies and sweatshirts,plus other gear that fits the automotive lifestyle. I even have cups and clocks with my pinstripe designs on them.
