Check out this dude and his epic pinstriping. I’ve seen pinstriping done by hand on stationary objects, which prevents this technique, i.e. moving the object, not the hand, and it’s equally epic. The hand and pressure control required to do good pinstriping is insane.

That dude’s got skills!
Incredible. Always great to see human expertise shown off like that, especially in this age of automation. Machines ain’t always the answer, though reproducing results like that on any scale is another issue.
By way of example, I heard a few years ago that drummers could keep time as accurately as any drum machine. Seems like they know it too, and can go one better, as this story about Brian Eno and U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jnr shows (of course it would take an Irishman to point out the clock was wrong):

(The story is from the New Yorker)I’m far too dependent on caffeine for any job requiring a steady hand…:)
I’ve never actually seen a machine-pinstriper. I wonder if they exist.
