  • The most simple way I could explain how to start pinstriping, it's not the complete howto guide but it should be enough to learn the very basics.
    What is not included (or talked about in the video) is the hours, days, weeks and years of practice. It can take a while but it is fun.
    Give it a go.
    If you need to know more than ask in the comments section below.

    There is an easy way ... LOL ... I'm retired and still pinstripe clocks and saws as I'm rated 100% Disabled (2/502 Infantry, 101st Airborne, Vietnam) after 9 years US Army I got an offer to teach Airbrush Techniques in Australia, in 1979, been here ever since. I often got asked how long it took me to learn to pinstripe as I did a lot of Truck yard work ... like airbrush work, it's mostly "muscle memory" ... a point in time when you no longer need to think about it. You instead look at the negative space, the balance of the shapes, and go with your visions. Nice post... love your work.

      Yeah, I made it as easy as possible, giving all the relevant information but it does take a bucket load of practice and a bit more practice.

    • @PaintySniffers
      @PaintySniffers  2 года назад

      No need to say sorry mate, you found the video eventually.
      Painting on chrome is alright, getting it to stick is the problem. clean it really well with a degreaser first then clean it really well again with more degreaser.
      I use 1Shot sign enamel paint and a little hardener (the hardener is nasty stuff, read the label and all the warnings before opening, it's also really expensive over here).
      A 5mm line, I'd probably us an English liner brush (give it a google) and for the 2/3mm line I'd use a Mack series 10 in a size OO or OOO.
      The alternative is to mask the lines using fine line tape. That way you can see exactly what you're going to get before laying down any paint.

      Hello, sorry about the voice but it is what it is and I’m not changing it now.
      Reducers, I mostly use chromaflo for pinstriping but sometimes use the low temp reducer when it’s really cold.
      You can use mineral spirits but I find that makes the paint sort of slippery.
      If you need to clear over your work, add hardener to the paint and use high temp reducer but be aware the paint will dry very quickly even in the brush.
      I hope this helps, thank you for watching.
      If you’ve any other questions let me know.

    • @PaintySniffers
      @PaintySniffers  9 месяцев назад

      Clearing over 1shot can be tricky, it’s an enamel (oil based paint) and can wrinkle up under the clear coat.
      Anything that I need clearing over I use a little hardener in it and leave to fully cure for a week (or longer if I can), then a few “dust coats” of clear and leaving to dry before hitting it with a wet coat.
      It’s solvents in the clear that does it.

      Hello, I’ve never tried it so couldn’t really say a definite yes or no.
      I wouldn’t even know if it would damage the brushes.
      Enamel paint is the most common paint used in pinstriping, urethane paint is sometimes used and I’ve heard some people are now using acrylic paints. You would have to research which brushes are compatible with other paints.
      Let me know if you try it and tell me how it goes.

    Really great videos and cool work. I’m practicing with sword style brushes (0, 00, 000 and 0000), and a couple scrollers. I really want to master the swords but I have a hard time controlling flares on my curves. The lines go thin to thick to thin again. I think it’s a combination of clumsy rolling of the brush, and maybe also inconsistent distance from the work surface. I’ll keep practicing, but wondering if you have any tips on how to manage the “rolling” for smoother results?

    • @PaintySniffers
      @PaintySniffers  4 года назад +3

      Hi jay3361, thanks for watching and the question.
      Advice on rolling the brush....
      Try larger radius curves at first, rolling the brush slightly in the direction of the curve and lifting the handle of the brush up so there is less "hair" on the panel. Practice that and then as you get used to it and cleaner lines, try slightly tighter curves.
      I use my little finger to steady my hand and keep control the distance from the work surface.
      I may do another video on curves, maybe.
      Keep practicing and having fun 👍

      @@PaintySniffers Hi there...just wanted to circle back with an update. I think I've resolved that the biggest issue is that I don't always effectively match the speed and direction of the brush with the spin. I have a tendency to spin too much, too early. Working on curves of varied length and sharpness of the turns helps--and I find that if I slow down and really watch the brush--watching to ensure that I'm pulling the bristles through the curve and keep the track consistent, I get good results. So your advice is right on. Thanks again. I'll keep practicing.

    How do you come up with cool designs? That's what I struggle with learning to pinstripe.
    I understand basic concepts like mirroring, teardrop shapes, the basic line types, and even understand things like not leaving open ended lines.
    I can look at pro pinstriping and think this or that design looks cool, but I can't seem to figure out the style.
    Is it just years of practice coming up with actual designs that have that right feel to them, or are there staples of "good" designs that separate them from the bad that aren't basics?

    • @PaintySniffers
      @PaintySniffers  4 года назад

      I wish I knew a quick answer to this, I think you’re on the right track with studying other people’s designs and working out what works and what doesn’t. I take a panel and just free style lines on it, not worrying about symmetry or anything, just making shapes, connections and patterns. Then I’ll look and see if there’s anything that works, lines I like and things I don’t.
      You can take a while to find your style or you could stumble upon it by a happy little accident.
