It's a lost art. e3verything is vinyl There are still some GREAT pin strippers out there

 

This is a panel that a pinstriper I know did as a raffle prize( long story short, I won the raffle)

 

A shame The Goat just retired!

 

Who’s the Goat?
Dan

 

Dougl*** refers I believe to Mitch Kim, a PNW (and arguably, the entire US) legend. I am fortunate enough to have his lines on two of my current cars. He retired at the end of last year.

 

Not many can do this…. Looks great when done right

 

Roger that!

 

Another one of Mitch Kim .. ..

 

This was a done by a former college student friend who I only found out about his striping abilities 2 weeks b4 he graduated from Texas A & M 10 years ago.His striping handle was Big Johnson!!

 

Jim Holguin aka @Sanford&Son does
hand painted pinstripes, lettering
and signs at his garage in Visalia, CA
and at customers locations.

Jim has designed and painted three
suitcases as gifts for me.

Some of his work …

Latest thing in the shop I had my buddy paint and pinstripe…

 

My neighbor and pal East Coast Artie.

 

I like that "measure twic..."

 

I like how everyone thinks the pinstriper that did their car is the greatest of all time.

 

Coo man.
Happy Thanksgiving, Billy.
And everybody.

I was admiring a very nice flame job against black paint. I looked closer and realized it was pinstriped with multiple colors. Light blue, light green, purple, pink...
It was bewtifooo.

 

Red and white stripe on each louver.

 

Mine actually was.

 

I thought mine was.
.

 

Pinstriping PLUS flawless "one stroke" lettering...that's a true artisan.

 

The work is very impressive but am I the only person who sees irony in doing all the work to shave the emblems.

Filling the holes doing metal/body work just to paint them back on?

 

Was at an event and this old dude had a sign that said pinstriper. He was nothing but nerves, every bone shook and his hands were nervous wrecks, constant movement. Honestly I felt sorry for him and decided i'd have him do a little on the trunk of a coupe, just that--figured i could get it off fairly easy. Everyone laughed when he sat down to do it, until his hands became rocks and his work was fantastic-so good i had him do the rest of the car. Afterward, he had a line of rodders waiting for him. For years, i had folks ask who did the work, some of the best they had seen. The old saying of "never judge a book by its cover" sure fit that fella.

 

My guy was pretty good, retired because he can't see any more otherwise my Merc would be done also.

 

I’ve really been liking striped louvers lately. Thinking about doing this hood once I get the car done and painted. But worried my buddy will charge me per louver

 

Striper did a small white stripe on each louver on the PU. I like it.

 

How about some name cred for these fantastic artists?
Sagebrush and Herb Martinez.

 

I tried it and have zero talent. I found Bob Coslett in the SoCal area and he did a fantastic job on my Mysterion clone.

 

In the Pacific North west Mitch Kim and the late Bob Hill always turned out work that was just a few steps above the rest. Bob p***ed away in 2009 and was a true artist with a brush or paint gun.
A couple of his prints that Mcallister museum of Avation that he was involved with has listed.
