I agree...I think I'll take that one up next time. I need some stuff to practice on in the mean time. I also need to go ahead and order some of the supplies I went without this time, such as Fineline tape and 1500 and 2000 grit paper.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. :)

Pinstriping is one of those skills that just mesmerizes me. Just watching this video will bring your blood pressure down by 10pts. Hang in there until the 4:00 mark where he signs his name with the brush.

Looks great! You can add that black pin stripe and just clear over that.

Looks sweet as-is too.

Thanks, I've thought about doing that. I know I need to get fine-line, just couldn't find it locally so I improvised.

Tape?? Naw!! After seeing in the above video how simple it is to paint striping we should all be able to do it as easily as signing our names. I think I’ll practice on my neighbor’s car at around 2:00 AM. :woohoo:

I wish I had taken one earlier this year. It just won't look that good if I took it now in the dank lighting we get these winter months.
