good skills :mrgreen:

i'm guessing you might have dabbled with a spraycan in the past, no?
 
do you sketch then finish off on the puter first, or are you strictly freehand!

Me thinks you're an old skool skater too looking at your pic with the screaming hand, Bones and Vision!
 
Nefarious laying lines on 69doublecab's rear dropgate, all free hand, no sketching, just the odd distance mark and a centre line, this guy is good :D and very quick

Ahh right so there is a wipe off of sorts then...was going to say! you must of been bricking it striping your own bus dude :lol:
 
this post has really inspired me :eek:

i put a red pinstripe/belt-line on my van over the weekend. admittedly in vinyl, but it looked awesome!

halfway down the road it started to peel off :lol: so i have just ordered a pinstripe beginners kit and a roll of stripe tape that enables you to straight line (kinda like a stencil) as i'm not confident enough to freehand it.

Anyone used this before? i've seen some examples and it looked pretty awesome, i know you dont get the really smooth line but then it's only a small amount of paint.

got the kit from http://www.pinstripinguk.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they were really helpful.
