First Effort Pinstriping......opinions welcome..lol

Ok so i wanted to learn, so i buy some mack daggers, and a couple of cans of oneshot. After numerous hours trying to learn how to hold the brush, and mix correctly,this is my first real effort at something besides a line. Should i throwaway my brush, or keep practising???LOL.......

 

Looks good enough for the kind of girls I go out with.

thankyou

i tried copying a design, but found if i just did what came outa my head it seemed to flow better i think,so what ya see came outa my head{the one thats full of rocks}.....LOL

 

yeah, looks pretty good. I wouldn't try to copy anything either, just let it come from your head. What I would do is just doodle on paper and come up with cool stuff before strping it.

 

Looks better than my stuff,I suck at brushing!Just something that might help ya,lay out your points with chalk to keep it the same on both sides,and if you are right handed,do the left side first.Hope that helps....dont give up!

 

evilone0528........

yea i know thats one of my weakest points getting everything symetrical

 

Looks good enough to go on my ride. If I tried that it would look like a pile of colored spagatti.

 

ok guys thanks......

guess i will keep the brush and go practice some more, hopefully next panel will be mucho better

 

looks good! keep on!

 

Yeah looks great to me, so if you are right handed do the left side first....
so thats what I have been doing wrong!! How about putting an old
panty hose on the hand, heard it makes your hand move smother, guess
a glove would work just as well?

Very good dude.

 

Keep goin...you'll only get better. Looks good so far and you're gettin some good advice.

 

Looks better than when I first started!

Instead of the Mack "Daggers", try using a Mack 10 000 "Sword" brush with the blue ferrele. Nice going for your first time.

once again........

thanks for the encouragement guys !~!

 

I'd say it looks damn good for your first shot. Nothing makes you better than seattime, or in this case brush time. Keep it up, I got an ugly 52 you can practice on

 

This is only the second thing I ever striped I'm happy with it cause I did it. Don't worry about what other people think, work on it till you're happy.

 

this is like the second or third thing i ever pinstriped. looks a little crooked to me, but other people liked it. I was going around the garage just looking for stuff to practice on...

 

Looks to me like you need Lots more practice. I'll send you something to practice on.

Kidding. That looks great, want a tool box to work on?
