ultra fine pinstriping

[ncrcfan]

Hello,

I have a painting question, I am looking at attempting the FEC SD70m-2 in N scale.  My biggest challenge is the pinstripe on the paint job.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to create a hair thin line with paint??

Can anyone really see those stripes as 2 separate ones in N scale especially at a 3'-4' viewing distance? And aren't there decals made for those? Am guessing those lines are1/4" or .oo15" in N scale. So can anyone mask that thin & strait?

A decal could do it, but you'd have to test the print output to get a continuous line without printhead errors or dither problems.

If the printhead can't output 0.0015" lines, you'd have to bump up the line weight until you got a continuous output. So the end result might be a pinstipe of 0.0025"
