  3. Yep, that's a good start! P***ion + Desire + Practice, Practice, Practice = Moola$ and a great sense of accomplishment.

    Not neccessarily in that order. :D

    Jabber,

    looks good for a start! As mentioned keep that brush in your hand. I restarted striping earlier this year and kept laying lines till I felt good about them. a couple more places to get inspiration and information is

    pinstriperspage@yahoogroups.com a e-mail group started by eL Vago aka safariknut

    and pinheadlounge.com
    many stripers with photos...

    thanks for the positive replies, I've made it a routine, about 30 minutes to an hour a day after dinner. It's a **** load of fun.
