Pinstriping practice - first piece inside (no laughing)

Hell, you could throw that on the side of a $5 vintage purse and hock it on ebay for $50! No joke. Keep it up!

 

Yeah, sorry for the crappy camera phone pic. When I can do something a little more worth taking a good picture of I will pull out the real camera

 

Keep it going

 

Well, Im also a beginner, try to pinstripe on everything, just to try to get the feelin right....

 

Looks better than my first try. And lookie where I'm at today. keep going man, you'll be a big star one day.

I did a few more practice pieces

My stool, its already scuffed up from use but you get the idea.


Bandsaw


and the box I built to keep all my stuffs in - purposefully bad pinstriping, and purposefully old looking.

 

Great work, that box is rad!!

 

Looks good to me. Ive been practicing for decades and still suck! There is always more to learn!

 

are we related??????


stripers rule! keep it up bud!

 

If you live in Detroit, you NEED and MUST go to Autorama and meet the stripers there and hook up with some who live close to you.

Contact Safariknut here on the HAMB. He lives in Tecumseh and is the nicest guy you'll ever meet with a brush in hand. And I dare anyone to dispute that.

 

Cool, remember to put your darkest colors on bottom... it just looks better.

 

I have a buddy of mine that is a painter/airbrush guy/striper that does Autorama and has been in the Jamboree the last year or 2. I may head down there with him this year.

Yeah I learned that a little late, I will definitely keep that in mind moving forward. When I did the saw & stool red was the only color I owned

 

Looks good to me, keep at it.

 

Paid a guy at the KKOA in Gettysburg in '88 to do my car. Didn't look ANY better than your work, and he was a "pro". Oh well, it's all worn off now. Keep up the good work and maybe I can pay YOU to do it over someday!

 

Naw he is a real pain in the ass!!!!!



Just kidding. Vance is right Ray will tell you the stuth about striping any day any way!

Great start! By summer you'll be ready to lay down some lines on my car.

 

Your first lines look good, mine didnt look even close to that good, even now there not much better than that. But as long as you keep practicing everyday, you'll get better quick. Also i agree with the comment on picking apart your own work, i still do that too, and probably always will. Keep it up!

 

well its either welding a lot or striping alot. unfortunately for me the welding came first now i shake like hell. unless your into some zig zags. looks real nice for a beginner.
