Re: Official PINSTRIPING Thread!

Ok, nice one.
What other paints can be used, eg. different surfaces?

OneShot on everything.

I think HOK makes a paint too, but Ive never used it and it a bit pricey.

Re: Official PINSTRIPING Thread!

I immediately saw this and had to come in and say HI. I also want to get into pinstripping namely because hot rods are growing here in Mexico, and a friend has even mentioned pinstripping some details on his 62 plymouth wagon. This thread has given me a good headstart on what to buy and what kind of brush. Ace, to do lines thinner than what you do, what brush would you suggest? I think he wants something not as elaborate, but he wants thin lines.
Olso, would you really get all the stuff and deliver it over here? it would be great, since over here the paint and specially the brushes seems almost impossible to get. Maybe I could make my own brush, but I'd still need good paint.
You have a great eye for what works in pinstripping, some of your designs are amazing, man, really. I think some of the line are a bit fat but those are excusively personal tastes, the stuff looks great. Damn I want to try this >.<

Re: Official PINSTRIPING Thread!

Yea, my lines are kind of fat, I can do thin, but Im not as much of a fan of the tiny lines, so I dont do many. As a starter brush, nothing beats a Mack 00. You can pull whatever size lines you want, its great in the curves. An all around good brush.

The line thickness is all a matter of how much pressure applied to the brush, angle of application, stuff like that. Once you get used to it it just becomes second nature.

And yes, if you Paypal me the money I will pick up all the stuff you need and send it to you.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions!

Re: Official PINSTRIPING Thread!

A month of vacation and I wait til the last night to start cranking stuff out. Oh well, here goes...

First, my first purse work. Got this free at a garage sale last summer, and under a pile of junk I found it today. So I painted it.

Front- No I didnt paint this


Back-


And a aluminum tray I also got at a garage sale that I painted while I was bored a little while ago.





And finally, trying to make a half decent clock this time. I used an old record.





And my dad brought me a new present today for my workshop.



Thank you for your time.

Re: Official PINSTRIPING Thread!

Hey KustmAce,

Great striping!

Quick question. I've been looking all over for a small flat file like the one your dad gave you, even in places not even associated with art, arch. or eng.. Where is it from or what application and what size is it?

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dean

Re: Official PINSTRIPING Thread!

This guy bought a car and is planning on taking it cross country and have stripers from all the continental states lay some lines on it. Kicked it off here in Denver tonight.

Nice work, cool idea to put a "Von Dutch" flying eyeball over the Ford logo.
