I use a Paasche flow pencil tool that works great...

It is a gravity-fed FP-1/32 flow pencil from Paasche where I also purchased the pressurized cup for more even paint flow. I prefer this over the use of a pinstripe brush because it is easier for me to handle while painting straight & curved lines. Here is the URL of the Paasche tool description where they pop up on eBay several times a month... http://www.paascheairbrush.com/parts_2003/FP-1_32_Flow%20Pencil.pdf
