Pin... uh... Stripes... I guess.

Okay so I ain't no Hotrod Jen or any other great pinstriper but I am satisfied with my own work. So what do you guys think? Be gentle it's my first time The chainguard is going on my Huffy Laredo that I have been customizing the last couple days. (I'll post pics when I'm done).

I really don't have the proper brushes, paint etc. for this but I did what I could with what I have.

Looks cool...kind of has a folk art look to it. :wink:

I like it, not perfect but hey that's what makes a rat rod a rat rod.

Thanks guys! I'm definitely not very smooth in the hand yet. I concentrated many years on music and backed off other art mediums. I'm hoping to do more eventually. Mostly for practice. :lol:

Gotta start somewhere. Should have done it in blood red. :mrgreen:

pinstriping is never perfect , its diy whats not to like

There is no better felling than pinstriping your first bike part and likeing how it comes out! I Have only been striping about a year now and I'm still improving. Its a slow process to become great so keep at it. I'm only 16 so I have a few years ahead of me to become great. Keep at it man. Thats a great start! :wink:

Thanks guys! I really need to invest in a proper brush. I do plan on practicing more just to have some fun with it. The reason I chose a brown mixed with a touch of gold will become apparent when I get my computer working again and can post the pictures of the bike this belongs to. It hopefully won't be long.

The lettering actually looks pretty good . . . it beats stickers any day! 8)

Lettering is great for your first job. The long lines will improve automatically with a pinstriping brush. You're on your way! Gary

Looks good. Try Youtube for some cool pinstriping tutorials. I learned a bunch from watching these.

I like it! I'd like to get up the courage to start striping with a brush. What striping I've done (like on my Panther) has been with the Beugler pinstriping tool. I guess I just need to bite the bullet, get some brushes and some instruction, then go for it.

Thanks a lot I guys I really do appreciate it. RestoRod I say go for it. I did. I really want to get proper brushes and practise some. Spokeshave is right though. Lots of stuff on Youtube to learn how. I have seen a few and it's really easy to follow.
