I don't have any of the tribal/ ratrod style of pinstripes, which I like but I can't seem to find anyone in St. Louis who does it........ I would GLADLY be a no-pay intern for somebody if they would teach me the craft....
Great panels of pin striping... That "old skool" rat stripping always seems to catch my eye. Between the color combos and tribal designs, just good stuff. There are a few folks who do it at the Long Beach Swap Meet here in CA. I have alway considered having it done on my motorcycle and possibly a thrasher cruiser. I have even considered doing a photo journal of pin stripping from around the country.scrumblero said:
Any "on bike" examples of stripping would be appreciated. I wish I was talented enough and blessed with a steady hand to do my own stripping. Then again, if I was exceptionally gifted athletically, could throw a 100mph fastball for a strike with a nasty chang-up, I could have been a professional pitcher. :lol:
Hey Lead Sled, I do a little striping myself. Let me know if I can help you out in any way. 8)
http://www.mackbrush.com has a great gallery. http://www.pinheadlounge.com has lots of galleries by some crazy good stripers. Alan Johnson and Herb Martinez have some good books but the best way to learn is to do it, and do it, and do it. A quote from Alan Johnson's book, "...buy a striping brush and a gallon of One Shot Sign Painter's Enamel. When the paint is gone you'll be a decent striper." Beginners tip- when you think you have a brush problem you probably have a paint consistency problem.
