If you look back I have posted pinstriping art on the Friday Art Shows I am a faithful Supporter of this site and it has been a link on my website since I found out about it. I have many HAMBERS attend my clases and if this is a problem I will no longer post my workshops.....I learned to stripe more than 30 years ago when no one would show, tell or even give hints about this specialized art. It took a phone call to Ed Roth (2000 miles away) to find out where to get brushes, paint and all the other necessary knowledge to even begin to get into it. Its not easy being a full time pinstriper but I have spent my entire career learning and teaching what I know how to do because no one would show me how. I am giving others a chance to learn something they belive in, as I did years ago. Sorry for any inconveniance I have caused your site. Hetz aka Wet Paint
Jim is an excellent striper and an enthusiastic instructor. I don't know how many posts I've read by HAMBers that wish they could learn how to stripe ...check it out.
I will stand up for him, I have sent a couple of people to his classes and have taken it myself. Jim is a great guy and a terrfic teacher. His wife Chris is one of the coolest people I have ever met. The class is a great way to learn the right way to stripe. Anyone who is interested should at least think about taking HETZ's class Take care Jim Chris
