Pinstriping

Kiwi_Roy:
Anyone had a go?

Any tips, paint, brushes, freehand, masking tape, air brush etc.
When I bought my old Eldorado there was hardly a square inch of the red metal-flake paint that hadn't been pinstriped in white.

I am painting it back to the original white and would like to have a go at reproducing the factory stripes in gold.

Thanks in advance
Roy

Getcha a pinstriping brush, some pinstriping paint, go to the junk yard and practice on junk cars for a few months.  ;D
Or, pay an artist to do it. It *is* an art, ya know..

clubman:
These guys have brushes and striping paint (handles much easier than regular paint) Eastwoods.com

 If You have an automotive paint store nearby they should carry Mack brand brushes and One Shot paints. There are a couple of books out there on the subject one of the best for technique is Kafka. A little different style but you get the idea and make it your own.  I've always found a glass of wine to settle things down and relax, freehand is the most rewarding.As anything else worth doing right, Practice,Practice,Practice. You may find it comes naturally or not, but give it a try!!
