Official PINSTRIPING Thread! (Finally updated again after 4 years)

EDIT 4-1, I merged most of these striping threads into this one, just a heads up.

For the same guy as the other stripe I just finished.

kustmace, you're pinstriping biz is good stuff. it is an area i know little about. you are good at it. it takes a cultivated sense of patience and control to pull it off successfully. it is not easy to do.

i give you props, mate.

actually you should do that.. like start a booth out in venice beach, you'd get a ton of buisness lol

That's bad ass :D

I love your pinstriping! looks good!

That's crazy!!! It is well done, but dude... A fridgerator?!?! I have better things to suggest: Pillows, blankets, tires, windows, floors, books and bath tubs. :) lol

well this is my first attempt on pinstiping. It looks like crap.. but in a distance it looks cool.

http://img224.exs.cx/img224/3087/pin5pk.jpg

Give me your :2cents:

I don't know anything about pinstriping and I've never tried it before, but yours looks really good for a first try.

Alex

Yeah it looks nice dude. Keep it up.

PS, HEeeerrrreeeSSSSS KUSTM!

Wow, good trick. What kind of brush did you use?

Wow, good trick. What kind of brush did you use?

well it's on a model in 1/25 scale.
So i used one smal regular brush... i have no real brush.. :/

it is good, but you need to lower it and re-upholster it.

pretty cool, but try tearing all but 4 or 5 brissles out it will take alot longer but you will be able to work with it easier

Good job! You seem to have the talant to do this, keep practicing and I am sure you will do things you never thought you will be able to do. :)

Dont take this as advice...
but a easy way to pinstripe is paint tha colour u want the stripe to be all over the car then the body color of the car over the top, then take a
hobby knife and gently tear away the stripe pattern,

dont try it for urself tho coz it prob wont work knoin me :icon16: :lol2:

Very nice pinstripe ;)

Be carfull, I suggest to try on a test part before taking such a risk if you don't have any experience with pinstriping.

I changed the title, so if you have pinstriping to show off or anything related to it yada yada post it in here!

1saac- What kind of paint and brush are you going to use?

I have already customized my ps2 , its a mitsubishi (badge) fq-330 and its customized by ralli art sticker.

i am trying to get a evolution 8 sign.

chris

^pics?

Anyway, saw these at Wally World last night, and thought they had potential, so $1.84 later, here's what I came up with.

http://img64.exs.cx/img64/2055/untitled27if.jpg

http://img214.exs.cx/img214/8696/dsc004809qu.jpg

The one on the right is how it started out.

When you said thong, I thought you meant something else. Looks good, it livens it up a bit.

Being as this is the Offical pinstriping thread,

http://www.pinstripinguk.com/Melissa.jpg

I thought that was extremly cool.
Gotta give pinsriping a try, what would you suggest for a beginner; paints, brushes, books, ect

Gotta give pinsriping a try, what would you suggest for a beginner; paints, brushes, books, ect

Paint- OneShot Sign Painters Paint. Comes in little yellow cans. Hands down the best. House of Kolor has some good paint to, but a bit more expensive.

Brushes- A number of sifferent brushes available, personally I use Mack 00 for 99% of my work. And I have some lettering brushes for cartooning and lettering that I got at Michaels.

Books- I have only found one that was actually useful. Its called "Pinstriping Masters".

Hope that helps!

Here's some of my stuff for sale on Ebay if your interested-

6x6 Tile (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20158&item=7313294170&rd=1)

All you did was stick some stickers on it..what kind of feedback are you looking for?

Havent posted up anything for a while, so I thought I would do an update for you all.

Start with the oldest- A light switch cover in my basement I did real quick with some extra paint after another job. Tried a diferrent coloring approach with the red tips. Still dunno if I like it.

Next, these were my mom's presents for Mother's Day, per her request.

Ok, enough of the dinky stuff, I know you all want to see some big stuff...


Here is the latest state of the constant work in progress that is my Dad's truck. The dash anyway. I officially hate striping dashboards. Unless the panels are removable, and removed. Anyway, my favorite bit of this one is the little cartoons I did on a whim on the right side above the glove box.

http://img141.echo.cx/img141/6666/dsc008704yt.jpg

And finally, my latest piece finished today. Pieces off of one of my co-worker's 56 Chevy P/U. Yes, that is silver, and yes, it was a bitch. I think they turned out pretty good though, and the pay wasnt bad either...

First piece-

Thanks for looking! And comments are always welcome. Also, as soon as I get finished pics of some VW buses I did a couple days ago, Ill post them up too.

very dope, you have got to have a steady hand to do that kind of work. keep doing what you do

Badass work.

Badass work.



I think you mean Badace work :wink:







kustm

I really like the ones you did for your mom, I think they are very cool looking yet still classy.

Awesome pinstripes Ace!

Newest lines with my new brush

http://img154.echo.cx/img154/9984/dsc008872fk.jpg

i likes...what material is it on?

Looks like glass.

Last 2 nights Ive been crazy busy! Just cranking stuff out! Please pardon the blurry shots, Im too lazy to go reshoot em.

Here's The finished version of that vlue one pictured a couple posts above.

http://img256.echo.cx/img256/7676/untitled17li.jpg

My new panel with a new b/g technique. Laid down a coat of clear, then laid some seran wrap over it. Wrinkled it up and peeled it off. Shots some black primer over the red and laid some seran wrap over that. Peeled it up, which pulled some of the red off. Reshot the whole thing with black, and this turned out.

http://img120.echo.cx/img120/8522/untitled13wx.jpg

One of my latest commissioned pieces- The head of security at a school I went to last year wanted me to do these for his wife. She likes roosters. Yes, there is a joke there, but this is a family forum.:D

http://img167.echo.cx/img167/779/untitled27kk.jpg

And the other one...

http://img151.echo.cx/img151/3417/untitled37sk.jpg

Another commission, the same guy I did those blue truck panels for. Delivery is tommorrow, so I hope he's happy!

http://img151.echo.cx/img151/2205/dsc009367om.jpg

And the top...

http://img151.echo.cx/img151/9864/dsc009388wd.jpg

Starting a new panel. Will do the back tommorrow, thinking black/red swirly stuff, like the blue one.

http://img151.echo.cx/img151/4081/dsc009351gn.jpg

And another new panel, think JD Green and white with some kind of kool effect.

http://img151.echo.cx/img151/918/dsc009457wz.jpg

And finally, a sketch for a pinstriped face. Loosely based on me.:D

http://img300.echo.cx/img300/1777/dsc009435aj.jpg

Thanks for lookin! Comments welcome like always!

Fantastic work KustmAce, you´ve inspired me to start striping too!

Here is the paint and the brush I´m using:

Well here´s my contributions (first time ever handeling a sword brush):

Again, inspired by KustmAce, I just had to try that spiderweb:

http://img257.echo.cx/img257/9897/dsc057727ih.th.jpg (http://img257.echo.cx/my.php?image=dsc057727ih.jpg)
They were all done using Tamiya acrylics, horrible paints, not good at all for pinstriping but it´s the only thing I´ve got for now. I´m trying to get my hands on some of that 1-Shot paint but it´s rather hard to find here in Sweden.
