Pinstripes? lets see em'
You either love them or hate them, but they do add a little character to any older car/truck. There are several artists I have used and all have different techniques. On the Burb, I wanted an old 50's feel with some Hot Rod red to tie in the engine and some brown for the interior and wheels. Ed Mathews out of Portand did a great job with some fine lines in the 50's style I was after. I hit the road after work Friday and hauled A up to his house. A quick run to Home Depot for a halogen light and he started. He wasn't able to get much of the dash done or the body line around the whole Burb , so a reschedule for another midnight session. Who else has some stipes? lets see them!

Re: Pinstripes? lets see em'
Newfisher...
I don't have any to share, but it is on my short list as soon as I find someone close to me that does good work. I have always liked pinstripes when they are not over done. Your burb looks great. Marc

Re: Pinstripes? lets see em'
that's some clean striping action right there. I've been playing around with pin striping for the past few years as a side line to the airbrush gig. It's one of those art forms, that takes many many years of practice to be perfect.

Re: Pinstripes? lets see em'
Judd, You SUCK! - That is said in the nicest possible way ![]() Now, no false humility ok? Tell me you were already a fairly artistic person before you ever picked up a striping brush? I'd LOVE to learn to stripe - just for myself. But at age 58 I doubt there's time to get proficient....that is until I read what you wrote. I was a draftsman...back when there WERE such a thing as draftsmen. Pretty good if I do say so but I doubt striping and drawing straight lines has much in common. I TRULY admire your abilities and your ability to get so good so fast. Keep at it! |

Good point on being 60 + whatever skill I pick up. I SHOULD know this cause I'd never snow ski'd once before I turned 45. I met my girlfriend, she LOVED skiing so I took it up and found I was pretty good at it. Now I'll be an excellent 60 year old skier! (If I don't break my leg next season) ![]() |

Re: Pinstripes? lets see em'
I got some stripes layed down today. This is something that I have been wanting to have done for some time. I was waiting to find the right artist.
We settled on the colors Lime green, black and orange. Marc
