Great you’re back Jen, awesome work thank you for sharing
Herzlichen Dank 👍🍀🌟
OMG. That is awesome. Thanks for posting this.
Very nice!! Thanks!
I'm fascinated by that tool that does the engine turning in the gold leaf.
Tooling tool ❤
Awesome video thanks for the tips!
thanks for watching and all your great questions on the live chat
Great work, thank you!
Great job. That playlist is 🔥. Wish I knew the artists.
thanks, i thought that using epidemic sound (a paid music service) they automatically listed the music artists when uploaded to youtube, sorry about that! I will take that into consideration moving forward so i can list the music.
you do such awesome work! Thanks for the video.
Is really cool to see some sign writing done in a more traditional manner instead of using vinyl all the time. You make it look so easy as well but I couldn't get lines that sharp if I tried!
thank you :)
Oh man! The buffet took it to a whole nother level!!! Wild! 🙌🏽 thanks for sharing! So dang cool!
Awesome work looking for some new vids it's been awhile 👍
Haha, I see you are a lefty as well, having to do things backwards. 🔥 great work!
DAM GIRL YOU ARE GOOD ❤
That is so relaxing to watch you work your magic. Thank you for bringing us along. I do have a question though. In this video, what are you using for the engine turn in your drill setup? That turns out so brilliant!
Very nice
AWSOME VIDEO JEN, WHERE DID YOU BUY THAT SPINNER ?, I WANT TO TRY SOME LEAF ON MY RACE CAR, THANK YOU
I frankensteined this one up, on my introduction to goldleaf video I go over them and ones you can buy
Amazing
Hi i want to start pinstriping and i live in Iran,i have bought one pinstriping brush with so many difficulty's. and paints are so pricey for me to buy.
Is there any alternative type of paint,that i can use?
I'm afraid to ruin my brush
Bonjour merci pour les précieux conseils pour l'aide, je note tout pour apprendre Alix de France
Jen another great video. Tkx Q: did you apply anything to seal it all? of just want and the owner will wax it all? Tkx
I brushed clear on the gold then all the paint is fine no need for top coating any of that
Awesome work there. Just watched your pinstriping tutorial, gave me the confidence to attempt my own striping on my bike. TRUST me I'll be doing ALOT of practice first !! Any plans to do a flame tutorial in the near future?
Looks really good Jen. I was wondering how you do your sketches. Do you just free hand those letters that get pounced or do you have a method that helps trace it? Thanks for your help!
Great work, Did you clear the whole door or just the lettering?
only the gold lettering everything else is good without clear

Thanks for subbing!
Great work! When you prepped the door with denatured alcohol, did you use it straight out of the can or mix it 50/50 with distilled water? Thanks
hey Jen! awesome video! What brush did you use to do your blue highlight lining?
Do you use a specific type of velvet? Also, did you wrap a pre existing bit? Thank you
can ı ask is this paper letterhead ?
if you are referring to the white paper that has my pattern on it, its plotter/bond paper, its what can be fed thru a printer/plotter, comes on a big roll. it can go by different names depending on where you get it, some call it poster paper too
thank you for info. so ı can use it on my gilding works right?@@HotRodJenPinstriping
I'm a beginner, so there were some parts I didn't understand. I'm curious and wondering why the white sketch can be transferred to the car when you stick a pencil-drawn sketch on white paper onto the car and rub it. Can someone tell me?pleaseplease!
i kind of explained a little bit in the video, the paper was pounced which is making little holes along the design on the paper, then i taped the pattern to the truck door and rubbed a chalk on the paper, the chalk finds itself going thru the holes i burned earlier. That is how the design is transfered
@HotRodJenPinstriping Hi, I am truly grateful to you. You taught me your very valuable technique so kindly. I think I should be very grateful for this. Thank you so much. I am really looking forward to practicing. Thank you.🙏❤️
What clear do you use for the gold leafing?
I'm curious what kinda material is on the end of your leaf spinner. I'm just getting into leafing.
It's velvet :) all my genuine l3af work gets spun with velvet
@@HotRodJenPinstriping Thanks so much for the reply, I really appreciate it ❤
Not really concerned about Ur content volume. Just hope all is good with You and Yours. Thanks 4 all you do👍🎶
Hi I'm trying to learn pin stripe and I have one question how do you come up with your design
that develops the more you paint. if you keep references around of moves you like it helps.
What kind of clear coat do you have used to not loose the holografic effect on the leaf? When i use clear coat , the leaf loses the effect unfortunately
i use a 2k auto clear, if the leaf is engine turn with a nice turn, then you should not loose the brilliance, if the leaf was sunken into the size then it will look dull when cleared also clear will change the look of variegated leaf and thats just expected
Awesome job, btw how is the Nova project?
thanks, nova was put on the back burner nov of 2022 due to me having surgery and then building my shop in 2023. hoping to get back on it in the spring
@@HotRodJenPinstriping Kool, just wondering. I am building a 69. I went through a similar situation building my shop too. Things have a way of interfering. But in a good way.
great work?
what type of rulers do you use ?
thank you, they are metal ones with a cork backing, i just grab them from the art store
thanks for replying
i’ve also seen you use clear plastic ones. which are those ?
ahhh yes! those are wescott clear rulers a lot of sewists use them they can be found in local craft stores
you're actually hot Jen, not just hotROD Jen. xo
How do you clearcoat the gold? I know its usually with a spraygun, but that would leave unwanted "fogmarks" right? Nice job, fun to watch!
hiya! i brush on a 2k automotive clear coat, usually 2 coats. It's safer under a clear applied by a spraygun but that would mean scuffing down the whole door and then applying a clear on the whole surface, most customers are not willing to do that. Applying a clearcoat with a brush has been done for decades and will hold up well if cared for
@@HotRodJenPinstriping Had no idea you could use a brush. Thank you very much for teaching us! Keep up the good work :)
