New to striping, please let me know what you think....

Hello, I'm new to this board, and new to pinstriping. I've admired for awhile, and about 6 weeks ago I finally jumped in. Here are some of the things I've done in the last week, any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

wow looks great. welcome.

 

WOW! thats about all I can say your stuff at 6 weeks looks a hell of alot better than I think my stuff will ever look....Talented thats the word....

 

Wow! Thanks a lot everybody, your replies are most definitely appreciated. I really like doing this stuff. As soon as I really sat down to start striping, I haven't been able to stop doing it.
My friends that do stripe live in other parts of the country, so my help is limited. Thank you all, and I'll definitely be posting more on Friday.

 

just curious how long have you been stripping? i've been trying it a little.

 

About six weeks, really in the last four I've tried to stripe at least one thing a day. If it's not that busy at work I just set up and stripe something, whatever I can .
I've been striping little odd appliances and friends tattoo portfolios. I'm starting to get some interest from people to do cars and motorcycles, so I hope I get more of that action.

 

well, you can do my pontiac when it's done. I drop in and talk to Sal on 38th from time to time. He's a pretty cool kid. And Paul down at Bound By Design is in the Denver chapter of the Road Devils. Why havent we met yet. Which shop are you at?

 

looking good, mang!

I have a friend that builds choppers - his name is Josh Ford, too... you two should have a pistol duel for the name.

 

Damn fine looking work man.....

 

Very nice, Josh!

I'd be interested in having you put some lines on my car!

 

Cool, anyone looking for me to paint some lines, please I'm game. Icho, I work at and manage Twisted Sol downtown, stop in sometime.
