why write? Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 i think [almost positive] my father told me he seen TATS Crew doing pinstripping at a hot rod show last summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perhap Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 fairly simple.....very very steady hand. I know some guys who do it for like 150-250 bucks a pop at car shows. I dont know what paint they use...but ive seen the brushes at model car shops. The guys at shows just mix whatever color you want, stripe your car in a tent to somewhat avoid dust, and if its not straight, take a towel with a light thinner in it and wipe the line off, start over til its straight/symetrical.

AW Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Pinstriping is fun to learn. I never did a car, but when I was in High School, I practiced on scrap hood and fenders. Use One-Shot enamel and try using a 00 Mack brush. 00's are thin. You can trim themn down to be really skinny. I did Chinese calligraphy also, so it helped to steady my hand. Ed Roth has a good how to book on striping. A newer book called PINSTRIPING MASTERS is pretty good, but it's more of a showcase book that has tips from some really great pinstripers. Pinstriping Graphics by John Hannukaine is really good. HERE is a link to some good books. HERE is another good link And HERE is a great link for supplies.

Manifesto Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 much respect to pinstripers and sign painters, a lost art, that takes plenty talent and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I finally bought the book. I wasn't able to find the Mack series brushes, so I'll have to order them online. Can't wait to try this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 my dad used to be the shit at pinstriping. I doubt I'd ever have that kind of patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
