Tried my hand at pinstriping
I was looking through some of my old Hot Rod magazines and noticed most of the old school rides had pinstriping of some sort. So, I got a wild hair, grabbed some craft paint and a small brush, and went for it! My Blazer is in primer anyway, so I figured if I screwed it up I would just sand it off. I like the way it turned out so I think I'll buy the proper brush and paint, Does somebody offer a starter kit with a decent brush and basic colors?? What do you think of it?

Re: Tried my hand at pinstriping
I bought a 1 Shot starter kit at tcpglobal a while back along with a set of their brushes. Can't remember how much it all was to be honest.

Re: Tried my hand at pinstriping
Pretty darn good for using the wrong paint and the wrong brush, you've got some skills and with the right stuff I think you'll have success. Instructional material would be a big help for you as well. Stripe on!

Re: Tried my hand at pinstriping
Speedway had a great deal on a starter kit a couple months back. I can't remember how much but it had like 3 or 4 colors of striping paint, and a couple brushes. Check speedwaymotors.com for it. And by the way...that looks damn good for a first try with the wrong stuff. Get the right paint and brush and get after it!
