I had a well know pinstriper recently tell me, "it's hand painted art, if you want it perfect and perfectly symetrical buy a decal".. I'm striving to be as good as I can! It's gonna take some time.. I follow a pinstriping forum and believe me there are some guys that blow my mind with their design work and use of color..but.. they haven't been doing it for only 3 months either, more like 30 yrs+. Now I have to figure out something in that same style in the same colors on the front of the hood.. thats gonna be a challenge.
Thx or the kind words, it's much appreciated

Pin Stripping

Don

What are you talking about - that pin stripping looks as good as what any pro, that has been striping for 20 years, does.

I would give most anything to be able to do stripping like that. You could make some serious cash - even just part time.

Very nice - keep up the great work.

Thanks for sharing photos

Dan
