Pinstripers, post your strangest pinstriping request

When a buddy of mine passed… I was asked to call his widow… to stripe his coffin… But after I did she had changed her mind. I assume he would have been in it. I did stripe two boxes with beloved dog ashes in them though… That felt like an honor!

 

if i could stripe i would open a booth at every car show to do this for the fellow gals. i know they would line up & pay a pretty penny to have it done.
you guys have definitely motivated me to pull out my kafka brushes to start practicing again with this thread. love it! keep 'em coming

 

Bulls eye!!

 

Do you ever get so mad at your cock you want to choke your chicken?

 

Toilet seat!

 

All this beautifull work is inspiring! I bought some Mac brushes and some one shot a couple months ago. Got a scrap piece of glass and went to town. This is without a doubt, the hardest thing I have ever tried. I can lay a straight line but that's about it. My hat is off to you gentlemen. Maybe in ten years I'll post one of mine.

 

Here's a couple I've done:
A picket fence(actually a display inside the bike shop)
A set of earplugs for a friend of mine.
A set of artificial arms(he lost them when he grabbed hold of a 7600 volt power line)
A set of 3 color flamed fingernails

 

I only stripe a chicks toenails if she lets me suck em for surface prep.

 

ANTHONY! TAKE THOSE OUT OF YOUR MOUTH;YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN!!!!!!!

Happy New Year my friend.

 

I guess I haven't done anything really off the wall, but I did an odd gift for a friend. He gave me a bowling pin from his first official "300" game. I lettered his name, date and "300" and striped the pin.

 

here's an urn that I did for my friend , Joe. It was fabricated by Squeek , using Carrillo rods ,and a piece of rebar from his garage , the rest is 6061

 

line start behind me......

 

nothing as cool as legs or boobies, how about a drum symbol?

 

Going to do a quarter panel on Rick Love's '32 today at a body shop, now that's really weird. I thought only late models get stripe repairs. Wonder if it is an insurance job? I hate doing body shop work but he's such a nice guy and "cool" too.

Oh yea...I striped a used pacemaker for a buddy of mine(he's only 28 and on his 2nd one already!)...then got it framed for him for his birthday.

 

You guys need to reach to higher aspirations...

striped a friend of mine

 

I think I've striped just about everything, here's a few of the weird ones.

 

I see what you did on the decklid , now show us the hood !!

 

OHH boy, looks like we got a whole new game here!

A friend of mine striped Ed Roths casket.

 

There were several involved in that. Coop from Columbus was one. I can't recall who the others were. Someone can fill in the blanks, I'm sure. I remember seeing some photos of that back then.

 

Now Thats what Im talking about..I like the idea of a new canvas..or in this case nice back shot. The tatoos work well with it too

 

pinstriped and flamed this terragator. Not the best pics but you get the idea...

 

Lost my best hotrod buddy last year, built an urn for his ashes, since all his cars are hotrod black, and he never got that woodgrained interior, we used a ford hubcap woodgrained it and painted, polished and striped a quart paint can.... then painted and striped a piece of glass to sit it on....

I've got a good one for ya ... I was so pleased with the way my friend Matt striped my last car , I had him stripe my ... KITCHENAID MIXER ! Matt said it was definately his first striped mixer , so I'd say it was a "odd" request . I love it & it's a great conversation piece , no doubt . And yes , I DO use it
