Customs Pinstripe design opinions.

So I decided I needed pinstripes on my mercury. But I don’t have much funds at the moment. Tried my hand at it, what y’all think. I can count on the hamb for honest opinions.

I’m torn but I’m my biggest critic and I’ve stared at it by myself all day.

 

Let me be the first to say Thats Bitchin!

 

Man thanks!!! I really appreciate that

 

Tried your hand ? Looks like a nice side gig to pay for more hot rod parts now . Nice work . Really nice

 

Me likey.

 

I appreciate that guys

 

If you were closer you could come practice on my ‘bird. LOL Damn nice work.

 

Everyone starts someplace, and you started off very nicely, good job.

 

I believe that's how Larry Watson got started. Couldn't afford to have it done, so did it himself. Look where he ended up.

 

Wow, nice work. Matching symmetrically has to be tough and you did it well.

 

Great job!

 

There isn't a right or wrong way to do this. Just keep doing what you are doing.

 

looks good to me.

 

^^^^Yeah what he said ^^^^
Looks pretty damn good and if that’s your first try at it you gonna be killing it before you know it

 

Man that looks great from here. If you free handed it you have something to work with to help fund your projects.

 

Could never guess that's a first try....I think it looks killer.

 

I like what you’ve done so far
large piece of canvas
needs a little more

 

I've been contemplating doing pinstripes on my 1960 Mercury Monterey ragtop. I'm going for it!

 

Nailed it cant ask for anything better first time out like your thinking don't have the funds do it yourself.

 

I get to Texas now and again. Maybe you wouldn't mind practicing a little more on one of my cars and signing it ? You done good.

 

I do some striping. I like your design. What brush did you use? It looks like maybe not a striping brush. If so, get a few (like Macks) and keep practicing. The longer hairs on the striping brush help keep the lines uniform without the little whiskers.

 

Good, nice? Well, I couldn’t put a stick on thing that looks that nice.
If you’re grading yourself, move along to the top of the class.

 

it’s not the brush, it’s just me being not very good. I use a Mack king 13 000

 

To clarify, I used a Roth design to copy and just added a bit to it. Using a Mack brush and one shot paint for white and alpha enamel gray and gold mixed together.
I’ve played around a little but this my first time actually aiming at something sorta important. But it’s just paint can always sand it off.

I really appreciate the feedback guys! Thanks

 

Nicely done. I'd say you have the ability and could develop into a pro. How are your straight lines?

 

Not perfect, but I have a buegler so if I got to do straight line I use the beugler and it makes it easier

 

If you're trolling for compliments........
You got another one.

 

As a pinstriper myself. I will say first of all. I credit everyone that does it themselves! Awesome! My honest opinion. That trunk has so much available real estate, so to me it almost seems too small. But it still looks good.

 

looks very good
