Hey guys,
Does anyone out there do pinstriping?
I'd love to give it a go and was wondering if anyone had any useful ideas or tips for getting started.
Cheers
Tim

Re: Pinstriping
Used to do quite a lot of this years ago when I used to airbrush bike tanks and cars. Its rather an art and you need wedge-shapes brushes for the best results. To do long runs you need to be supple as you really need to do it in an almost continuous run. Well, that and a steady hand. Have a nose on Youtube and you should get some idea. Fact is though, its often easier and neater to use pinstriping tape. This wasn't around when hand stripes were at their peak. Worth considering.

Yeah, just been checking these out. Pretty cool, quite expensive though.
