Pin Stripe my 1st Time - Velocette KTT pt16

In this episode I take you through the idea behind the design I chose and how it set out and applied the gold pin stripe paint, This is the first time I have ever tried pin striping so come and see how I got on ?

I was looking at pin stripe kits (?) The tape has precut parts you peel out to give the stripe. Ok for straight lines, like my mudguard but I'd imagine, no good for going around curves.
Nice job. And nobody will see the mistakes when you're flying by at a ton 😉👍

@@750triton my problem was the tape is wide and not very flexible I think if I had bought 3m tape it may have been better but my search didn’t find 8mm by them. It was easier than I imagined but my expectations were low 🤔 so I guess I was presently surprised - have a go you can always wipe it off - if I can do the tin on the Velo I will be very happy 👍

@@andrewbull3537 thanks I did take my time and did some prep but very happy with the end result - hope to have both the Velo and Rudge done for April - better not tell you what the next build is then 🤔🙈😀 🙏

​@@hilbilchillbil, if it's a vincent black shadow or an old pre unit triumph I'll be as jealous as f*ck 😁....but then again ...just do a good job 👍.

Just one tip, usually these kind of paints are not petrol resistant. I recently pin striped a royal enfield tank for the first time and guess how i learned this lesson..

[@hilbilchillbil]

@@vintagebike_ger I have a plan as I was aware about the petrol problem - the next video I will be fitting the water slide logos then I have a plan for making these and the pinstriping petrol proof hope you come back to see 👍
