Pinstriping practice on brown paper
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Hello again, it's been a few weeks since I've picked up a pinstriping brush (xcaliber size 0000 because someone is gonna ask anyway) so I thought I'd knock out a quick one.
I'm practicing on paper as it's easy to clear away and saves me prepping and cleaning panels (and if I like what I've done, it's easy to keep and store).
Paint is all 1Shot enamel.
About 12 minutes paint time.

A "Real Talent". Thank you for sharing!
Thank you 😊
i had to watch it again, awsome work
If you could watch all my videos again that would be great 😉
Nice work. And good tips. Thank you
Thank you, did you get brushes for Christmas?
Nice
NICE WORK, MAN THAT MUST DRY FAST ON THAT PAPER..........
Thank you.
Yeah, the paper really soaks up the paint, it’s still fun though.
Thanks for watching 👍
Wow you made that look so easy.On paper great.I see you roll your brush is that something i should start doing right away.I just started pinstriping.Love your videos subscriber keep them coming and thank you for sharing.
Hello, sorry for the late reply, your comment was blocked because you missed a space and youtube thought it was a link.
Yes, a slight roll in the brush, in the direction of the curve will keep the shorter hairs on the underside of the brush from sticking out and ruining the line. It's not always necessary but it's a good habit to get into early on.
Thank you so much for watching and subbing.
Keep practicing, keep it fun and you're welcome to ask questions if you need to.
Cool!!❤️
Thank you 👍
@@PaintySniffers Im always baffled by guys like you when I see the confidence that shows in your strokes. Do you sketch out anything else besides the centerline?
And what's your secret for the symmetry? Is it your trained "paint eye muscle"? do you use grids (like the Kafka liner sheet)? I tried achieving it with peripheral viewing, but that didn't help too much . still have a long way to go till I'm at your level :-)
@@marcotrevissoi2164 it really does all come down to practice. I've been doing this for a long time.
I don't normally sketch anything other than a center line, sometimes i may sketch a line in to make sure I'm happy with the symmetry before I commit that to paint.
(if I told you my secret to symmetry it wouldn't be a secret, would it?)
I used to use a grid when I first started, there's nothing wrong with using one, just try not to rely on it too much. Try using fewer and fewer lines in your grid until you don't need one anymore.
Thank you for commenting, feel free to ask questions and have fun 👍
@@PaintySniffers haha, thanks, you‘re right. A secret is a secret as long as only two people know it and one of‘em is dead 😃😃
Well, was just a wild shot, kinda knew the answer in advance.
Thanks for posting your vids. First I thought thwey wer heavily timelpsed...
Have a good and healthy 2021 and keep on with your great and inspiring work 😊🙋♂️
@@marcotrevissoi2164 my videos are sped up a bit and I edit out all the palleting and time between strokes. Ive been asked to do some real time videos so maybe I'll work on that soon.
👍
AWSOME AS USUAL.🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Nice. I'm using glass to practice on. I hear pro's and cons. What's your opinion? Thanks and have nice day.
You can practice on glass, it’s easy to clean and you can place a guide under it to copy.
I don’t normally recommend glass for learning as it’s a very slippery surface to work on, if it’s your intention to work mostly on vehicles then I’d recommend practicing/learning on a painted surface like an old car panel, that make more sense to me. I’m sure there’s plenty of people that would disagree with me though.
All practice is good practice, try painting on loads of different stuff (pinstripe everything).
Remember to keep it fun 👍
Thank you for watching, have a great day and keep practicing.
Great work (as always!). I’ve been looking for a good practice surface. I recently tried a roll of heavy brown masking paper but it seemed too absorbent, pulling paint out of the brush. Maybe I need to find paper with a smoother surface. What would you recommend for practice?
Thank you.
The best ever surface to practice on would be anything that closely resembles a car or bike finish. Try and find a metal panel that’s been painted with automotive paint. If you have enough room then maybe get an old car bonnet (hood) and practice on that.
Paper will soak up the paint, some more than others. I think I got lucky with these rolls but can’t remember where I got them.
Another good surface is Alupanel, it’s a sign making material and is really stiff and light. You should be able to pick some up at any sign supply shop.
It’s two very thin aluminium sheets bonded to a plastic core.
I hope this helps you, feel free to ask any other questions 👍
Stay safe and have fun.
@Robert Wolski Cool, I'm glad you found a good reusable surface to practice on. I may try to find some tiles when I've got time.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching the videos, I am working towards making some new ones soon.
Have fun, stay safe and I'll be back with the funk soon.
Thank you again.
How many years have you been striping?
I’ve been pinstriping for about 20 years on and off. I’ll have some new videos coming very soon.
Thank you for your comments 👍
so im left handed and just starting . is there left handed and right handed brushes? Do i need to hold it upside down ? Because this shitz pissing me off. The first brush i bought was working great then i cut it and ruined it. Then i bought some more and i cant get any of them to do what i want. Is every brush different or wtf ? Its making me depressed
It shouldn't matter that you're left handed, the brush should work the same way. Most brushes don't need cutting, only sometimes it's necessary to trim a few hairs at the tip.
The Mack series 30 Dagger brush will work both ways up as it's the same shape top and bottom.
Every brush is slightly different, some seem to work better than others but they all work.
Don't let it piss you off, step back, calm down and then try again. You will get better with practice.
I hope this helps.
If you check out vondago.com he makes brushes for south paws
@@ratrodder65 I've not tried any of Von Dago's brushes yet, I may have to check them out if they're available in the UK.
Damn! I wish you were “practicing” on my fuel tank instead!🙏🏼
Where are you located? Maybe we could make this happen some day.
Painty Sniffers if you’re ever on vacation in Maui i would be over the moon to pay you to stripe my Harley 48!
If I could earn enough for a vacation I’d be a happy man 😂
If you can just ride it over to the UK one afternoon I’ll paint it and make a nice cup of tea for you 👍
Painty Sniffers that would be great! My tank will only get me 100 km’s though so I wouldn’t make it lol. My works been shut down since March otherwise maybe I could afford to send you the tins. I really like your style and the name “painty sniffers” is great by the way! I’ve been practicing striping on a big piece of glass so maybe I’ll get the courage and skill to stripe my own bike someday! Thanks for the reply, stay safe and have a great one, Cheers from Hawaii!
@@justinturner4850 Great to hear you're practicing, you will get better if you really want it bad enough and put in the time and effort, there's nothing better than putting the finishing touches to your own bike yourself. If you need any advice feel free to ask. Have fun, keep them brushes wet and stay safe mate.
Worst surface to stripe on other than cement,why practice on a surface you’ll NEVER have to stripe on?
Hi Steve, the paper was the only thing I had around here to paint on. I don’t have a lot of space to store panels.
It’s actually not too bad for this style of pinstriping once you’ve got used to it, it would be awful for scroll styles like you do.
Hope you’re well mate.
Thanks for commenting 👍
Frame it and sell it ......
Yeah, I could do that but it was just a quick practice piece and not something I’d normally sell.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
