@chamoco1 The oil keeps the paint from drying and making the brush stiff, it also keeps the hairs nice and soft. I use 50/50 vitamen E oil and neetsfoot oil. But Shane uses what he has and has had the same brushes for years. THANKS SHANE and Ray for posting this
Thanks Shane, for all your advice and knowledge in this area. I've been a road artist for over 40 yrs, and now at 72 I'm starting to get my striping practice in LOL I have to tell you the excitement level is so so high. I've created pounce patterns for some of the larger creations, but as long as the hands hold out, I think by this coming summer I'll be striping and cartoon at shows. I wish you well in your life and than you for sharing your profession✌️👍 JT Spy
Great tips, as a lefty do you have to hold the brushes any differently than you normally would if you were right handed? Being a lefty I sometimes seem to have trouble holding the brushes.
Shane, thanks for the tips. Good stuff. I'm an amateur striper that just does personal striping for kicks, but I wanted a tip on using the swirly Q I heard you mention. I've tried both the swirly Q and the mack wizard vortex and neither have pulled lines any where near like I've seen other people pull. The only thing I can think of right off the bat is that maybe other people are reducing their paint a lot more than I think…..any hints or tips? Thanks, Shane. Cause I'm about to throw those brushes in the trash I'm so frustrated.
hey there just bought some paint and a brush to stripe my wheels over an existing g line now do I need some type of thinner? and if so what's recommended
What I don't understand is,I've seen pro's use a striping brush with the belly UP,and they lay down some pretty nice lines,But isn't that wrong to use it that way???.I remember my bodyshop teacher when I was a kid told me what difference does it make how you use a tool as long as it does the job....Hahhh,,,,,,,,

É uma pena não falar inglês, mas o pincel é uma ferramenta muito útil nesse caso,

I like mineral spirits, its cheap it doesn't smell too bad and works great to thin and to clean up.
