Shop Truck Lettering
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- My 3rd son bought his first pickup before he even had his drivers’ permit. His first inclination was to fully embrace the “grandpa vibe” it already had PLUS he really wanted letting that resembled a shop truck or tow/service truck.
The tongue-in-cheek famous phone number and mythical shop name are all part of the fun & were completely my son’s idea. (Think Tommy Tutone circa 1981)
In this video I’ll show you the entire process from design idea to completion that lettering this old pickup involves. I like to use traditional techniques and I’m learning as I go (I’m far from mastery so take it with a grain of salt! 😉)
I use Alpha6 Enamel paints & chemicals. You’ll find them at alpha6corporat...
Give them a follow on Instagram @alpha6paint
My favorite brushes are by Mack Brushes and you’ll find them at www.mackbrush....
In this project I chose the Mr. Oz Signature series brushes. mrozdesigns.com/ go give him a follow on Instagram for inspiration, art, supplies, and awesome brushes @mrozdesigns

Looks very good, nice video. Love old school paint lettering and pen stripe.
That looks amazing. It’s a lost art. Who wants stickers when you could have this!
Amen!

Really enjoyed watching this! Really enjoyed your presentation! " peace and grease"! ( made me giggle! ) God bless!
That’s sweet man hard to find this old school look anymore I wish we was closer but it’s many a miles from Kentucky to Minnesota 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looks great, man!
Awesome......👍🏻👍🏻......you'd made a great surgeon with that steady hand....
You do awesome work, my dad's friend used to do everything free hand talent that you don't see much anymore
Wow 🤩 very nice !! Very talented man
Quite a process!😎👍
Talent !!
Wish we had someone close me that could do this.
Talented
Nice work! Looks good without scuffing the existing paint finish! What about adding the drop shadow before you outline, so you don't have to touch up your outline?
Nice 👍👌🎨🎨🖌️🖌️
Simply kooool
the edges also need to be tamed down so they aren't so sharp and crisp, .0000 steel wool works great for doing that.
Looks great. Thanks!
Looks friggin awesome! You need to spend more time in the YT content section. We're not ALL trolls down here.😅
Just going to mention that before painting the area should be scuffed and cleaned. Awesome job though!
Hello There what type of paints you using water base or oil base
why do some people prefer to reduce with mineral spirts vs reducer? Does it make a difference in the longevity or finish?
Reducer will do better on anything outdoors, mineral spirits also takes much longer to dry.
who makes the pencil and whats the exact name for it?
Wow you are a damn good artist yourself.iwas just complementing your wife on how good she was but dude you are badd assed yourself.
