The Art of the Pinstripe or Coachline in Bespoke Automotive Design

At Niels van Roij Design, we believe it’s the tiny details that truly elevate the automotive experience. From the supple feel of premium cowhide seats to the enchanting glow of twinkling constellation lights in the roof liner, every aspect is meticulously crafted to enhance your bespoke vehicle. One of the most intricate details that can elevate your car’s aesthetic is the addition of a coachline. This elegant line runs along both flanks of your vehicle and can even be applied to the bonnet, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Custom Coachlines Tailored to Your Vision

Our coachlines can be single or double and are available in a variety of colors, allowing you to express your unique style. You can even incorporate personalized elements, such as family crests or calligraphy, based on your ideas and specifications. One of the hallmarks of our craftsmanship is that every single coachline is meticulously drawn by hand, ensuring a truly one-of-a-kind finish.

Painted Pinstripe: A Touch of Artistry

The painted pinstripe running down the side of your motorcar is not merely an aesthetic choice; it’s an artwork in itself. Using fine brushes made from ox or squirrel hair, our skilled artisans create long, perfectly straight lines that extend from just behind the headlights to just before the taillights. This intricate process involves much more than simply applying straight lines; it requires artistic flair, patience, and intense focus. Customers often request custom designs, including floral patterns, horse heads, abstract shapes, or even their initials, making each piece a unique expression of their personality.

Unmatched Craftsmanship in Coachbuilt Cars

Few artisans worldwide possess the qualifications and skills needed to paint the pinstripe or coachline on our bespoke motor cars. Each pinstripe is a delicate line of paint expertly applied by our talented artists using ‘sword’ shaped brushes. This meticulous technique enhances the curves of the vehicle’s surface, typically in a color that complements the interior or adds a decorative flair.

The method for applying these coachlines has remained virtually unchanged since the 1950s, symbolizing quality and uncompromising craftsmanship. The hand-applied coachline is a testament to the meticulous creation of each Niels van Roij Design coachbuilt car. With no machinery involved, the coachline runs gracefully along the full length of your vehicle, embodying the essence of bespoke automotive luxury.
