Re: Dead Man's Hand
Hey man I'm not picking please dont take this wrong. I do "Dutch" style striping on the side (have for years) and I just wanted to let you know that the brush you have there is a mack 20 "greenie". Its for filling in scratches. You need a Mack 10 it has a blue rap, its 100% blue squirrel hair. Like I said I'm not picking just the "greenie" is not made of 100% squirrel and the paint run's out of the brush fast making pulling the line harder. If you strip with a 20 my hats off to you. You have twice my skillgaragegoon said:I have just what you need.....
Re: The King of Cowley County
i always get the serise brushes confused. i use a OO green most of the time and i have a few OOO blue for thin stuff.

Re: The King of Cowley County
I have never pinstripped anything. Garage Goon got me the brush and One Shot in exchange for some parts. Any tips or tricks I should need to know? I am just planning on laying some lines along my scallops (for now).

Re: The King of Cowley County
Garagegoon hooked me up with some pinstripping supplies in exchange for an old tank I had in the garage. I rushed home after work to see if my hand was steady enough. I need a lot of practice before I go near my bike! Thanks Dave!

Re: The King of Cowley County
pallet your paint on the cover of a glossy magazine. thin it until you can just pull it along the magazine without drag. your paint will stripe more evenly and i find you get a better result. good luck and remember to show us how you get on (bleeds and all :lol: )

Re: The King of Cowley County
Time to start laying out my scallops.
It took a bit to find the right color for them, but now I have it in my hot little hands.

Re: The King of Cowley County
Well guy I'd say start here http://www.kustomkulturelounge.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4 this is my fav striping site. And for ideas this site is tops!!!!http://www.pinheadlounge.com/pinstriping/newest/
Any way if I was you I'd practice on glass. Fill it up will lines then when its dry take a razer blade to it and start again. Put copy's of the shapes you wish to learn under the glass and paint over them. It was 1/2 a year before I even touched a car let a lone a bike. Stick with it and you wont be sorry. If you think you dont have what it takes just remember this "If you can write your name you can pinstripe". That not my words It's Ed "Big Daddy" Roths.
As for advice dont use mineral spirits it dont work with 1 shot anymore.
Oil the hell out of your brushes when your done with it.
Use glossy paper to pallet your brush on.
And clean the heck out of what your going to paint.
For more info go to kustomkulturelounge.com as posted up top and go to search and type noob help or something like that. Its where I get my info. If you need more and think your going to stick with it send me a message and I'll try to get my 200 page scrap book scanned in to my computer and send it to ya.

Re: The King of Cowley County
I gotta find a new crank. The new BB kit I bought doesn't fit the threads on the original one and the one I have that fits the threads won't fit through the bottom bracket. :x :x :x
Add to that the fact that I am not happy with the paint, my custom springer fork is not coming together the way I want, and I still need to find a few key elements- seat, post, bars and pedals. :x :x :x
I am afraid there might be a terrible grinder accident if I cannot pull it together.
