'79 Limited Pin Striping?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a practical way to get pin striping back on to my '79 Limited? My car has been repainted by previous owner (might need another repaint... there is some bubbling on the hood), but whoever repainted just sprayed the whole car in beat black, which I guess is to be expected. My car is in great shape, and almost entirely original (full original interior, just some replacement parts for practical driveability I've had to replace), so I am hoping that I can maybe find a way to get the pin striping back on to it.

Would likely be a later-this-year or next-year thing. I am located west coast of Canada if that makes any difference.

Any suggestions would help, thank you!

Welcome!

Nice to see another West Coast Canada guy!

A good alternative to painting pin striping is using pin striping decals. Lordco or Canadian tire have a decent selection of that sort of stuff (thickness and color). I remember years back I picked up some thin pinstriping from Canadian Tire and did both sides of my old Rx7 and it turned out great. Cheap alternative to repainting or paying someone to pinstripe it.

I would suggest you post a couple pics of your rare gem ASAP. Inside, outside and under her hood.
