    Tried it, but it tacks up much quicker than 1-Shot.

    Man you hit the nail on the head. I used to work on automatic and manual wind watches, but pinstriping intimidates me for some reason.

    Still jittery unless I have a few beers first. Btw...what is the cheapest mean of practice you guys have heard of? I need alot more practice but I really don't want to screw up everything in my garage trying to pinstripe it. I've heard some people use a piece of glass. What about a few sheets of hobby board? Anybody tried that or have any other ideas?

    Alright guys , I tried it , and I think it turned out pretty good , I figured that if I wanted a real whole hearted try out of myself , I had better try on something I didnt want to screw up , so , I tried it on my car , the one in my avatar , and I had my flame job on the car , but it hadnt been outlined , and I pinstriped one side , and left the other side to see the comparison , what do you guys think , I know it aint like the veterans of pinstriping , but , I think it looks pretty good...

    Outline looks way better. If you've got Mack brushes, give the Kafka a chance. I use mine more and more. Kafka has a lot of videos on youtube explaining how to use his stuff.

    Keep up the practice
