If I get wax on my pin stripe will it hurt it any?

No.

Ok I was worried with it being for black paint that it might mess it up

What color is the pinstripe? Is it painted on or vinyl?

You're using a black-specific wax?

The stripe is gold and I believe its vinyl and yes its the turtle wax black ice I'm using specifically for black paint

I wouldn't wax over vinyl...especially gold vinyl, with a black dyed wax.

Ok, yeah I wouldn't wax over a light colored vinyl stripe with a black wax.
I was assuming a normal, non-colored, wax.

If the stripe is thick enough to tape the edges, that's the way to go. If not, you should be fine using a regular paste wax over the pinstripe (a toothpick might come in handy to get some wax out) but don't use a black wax over the decal). I don't think you get much better results using a black wax. They all have the same fillers. A good clay + carnuba would bring some good depth into the paint

I appreciate it I ended up just being real careful and waxing right up to the edge of my stripe but I took so long I only ended up doing my back passenger fender lol
