Posted by Terry Bull on 20 February 2003 at 23:21

I m posting these pics as steve has shown an interest in having a go at some freehand pinstriping
I know its not a sign thing ,more custom but it can be a great soother after a stressful day

There is a link here with vinyl because after striping the girl design I photographed it , vectored (took me hours ) and used it for the
truck graphics

beautiful – nice one terry. Thats what i would like to see as a step by step demo.

such fine lines and no shakes – definately not one for a saturday morning hangover!

seriously but – how do you start – do you do one side and then mirror the other?

what kind of paint and brushes?

where can you get examples of this kind of work?

regards jonny (<(

what beautifully fine brushwork and free-flowing composition – again, inspiration to us all.

whenever you get the urge to post more images or even a demo or three…don’t hesitate! 😉

Steve
hang in there.. itll come and when i does youll feel like a dog with two d…..er bones

Pull a line ,dont have to be long then try the same next to it and gradually
build up a pattern and when youve got something -rub it out and do it again.. more practice
The more lines that look like they should be there the more your confidence will grow , all it costs is patience
The article by Steve Robinson is in May June 2002
good luck

Yet again a brilliant piece of work

Only piece of pinstriping I did was on two four wheel drives and a brand new jag using pinstriping tape. (not quite the same I know)

They were accident insurance jobs and the customers insisted (:) (:) that the lines had to be painted on and absolutely no vinyl
