good thing to freshen up the basics as I'm gone stripe these green flaked flames one of these days.
Don't know what color I'm gone stripe them yet?
any sugestions Don ? I only have bright red by HOK and white - black - red -yellow - bleu by oneshot so what nice color can I mix with them ? I wanne paint the pinstripe under a layer of clear now as I wanne ad some more to this panel so how much 2K clear catalist do I need to mix in how much one shot paint? gone have to use the catalist I use in my clear, as for now the Oneshot catalist is hard to get over here.

Ahhh excellent.
MEK = methyl ethyl ketone and is some wicked stuff. I think it's a bit harsher than lacquer thinner and doesn't flash out as quick (don't quote me on this, not positive). Another good thinner that doesn't flash out quick is Xylol.

When I tell people about oil they just bug out. It's an old sign painters trick when I painted signs well before the plotter days.

Question: Do you force dry the surface before additional colors or over laps using a hairdryer?

Hey fink master!
I've got some questions. When I pin stripe (stated elsewhere?) I get my fingers in the way and I end up rubbing it and smushing paint everywhere. I have trouble keeping lines constant, especialy during curves. it gets thicker and thinner and smudges all over the place. I've got this really detailed thing that I need to out line. I have a mack 00 a mack outliner and an xcaliber 0000, what would be best for this???
Thanks,
Jake

Stef ,I hate to say it but I would not chance it with clearing the 1 Shot .I would use the HOK but I see your colours are limited.With what you have the choice is red or white,I'd just use either of the HOK colours you have.Both might not be the best colour but they will look OK! unless you get some other colours.Purples ,greys,greens maybe even a bright orange.You would be surprised ,a lot of different colours could work.The flaked flames look great!

sholz I don't foce dry any of my stripes.It doesn't usually take that long for the paint to tack up so it doesn't bleed on the overlaps and if there is any I'll just touch it up.If I do a complete vehicle I go all the way around the vehicle adding different designs and by the time I am back to the start to add another colour I don't have any issues with bleed in the colours.It will be good enough for another colour.If I am doing a panel I'll check it for tackiness and give it a bit more time to dry but for the most part it isn't an issue.

angus ,it's just not cut and dry.Any brush that you have mentioned will work ,but you need to learn how to control it and thats just practice.In the curves you need to learn how to roll your brush and it takes some body positioning too but for the most part you need to practice and learn to load your brush and pallet it with paint and reducer for the right feel.And that comes with time and practice .You will instinktively understand it and the feel will come naturally with time.Not an easy as pie answer that you wanted to hear!Now after saying that I would suggest possibly you might find the outliner easier to grasp the feel for if you are not confident enough with the striping brushes.Other then that ,you need to spend some time practicing.

Dennis sorry for keeping you up late!LOL!If it's late there it must be really late hear!LOL!Hows everything in Hawaii! People probably don't relize besides a great airbrush artist you are a great striper too.I'm still coming over to see you one day!

Ron.

Ron,
First off GREAT POST an AMAZING WORK!!!
Dumb question: the position of the brush is with the "knife edge" down, similar to cutting a steak, correct?

Thanks, Dave

Dave you are correct,Knife edge down.
Jynx Most the products are pretty common paints.1 Shot ,HOK and Mack brushes.Colors are standard colours for the most part.If you have a particular one you would like to know just post or mail me.
Ron.

I have tried my hand at pinstriping and posted a couple of pictures earlier. if you can draw a straight line and relax it is quite fun just to let your imagination go in laying down lines.
Old glass jars, old valve covers, and air cleaners also make good practice pieces as the are irregular shapes.
The oil I use for my brushes before I store them is a baby jar filled with baby oil it works well for me.
