I've tried it a few times but never turns out like I intend it to, are there any how to links or tutorials that you could recommend or is it just a practice makes perfect type of thing? Any tips or tricks?

some of my older stuff is floating around here. ill post some pics later of some newer stuff. no account at the lounge, just hang out there.
Head to some Panel Jams near you, this will jumpstart your skillset like you will not believe. Also start watching some of the excellent stuff that YouTube has to offer, just search pinstriping or Steve Kafka. Steve has some great videos with the exception of his shameless plugs for his products, but hey you've gotta give him credit for trying! No amount of practise will do you any good if you're practising something completely wrong, it just takes longer to break the bad habits. Look and learn is a great first step, then practise till you hate it and do some more! Oh yeah, have fun with it, when its not fun clean out the brushes and quit for the night.
See ya,
Chris.
See ya,

LOL! so true. love his brush, love his style, but man do i hate his shameless self promotion crap. he bashes mack and stabilo and probly some others too. its annoying. sure get your stuff out there but do it with respect and class. i watched his videos on mute :lol:. i use his script/scroll daily. love that darn thing but i wouldnt shake kafkas hand if i saw him. that really chaps me when people bash others stuff just to help sell theirs. different brush for different applications. pullin flames thered be a mack in my hand, never a kafka. pullin scrolls thered be a kafka in my hand, never a mack. rant? 8)
Ha,ha, funny I thought I was the only one who thought that way? I don't know if you have heard of Tramp Warner? He promotes for One Shot and is a fellow Ontario striper, anyway he's sort of the same way. Just a little big on himself by times but he's awfully good at backing it up with talent.I guess you give a little when it comes to this . I have tried to use the Kafka brushes and just don't like 'em personally, they're all over the place when you try to do traditional striping and I cannot seem to wrap my brain around scrolling either.... Have you ever used an Excalibur brush? Mr. J makes and sells 'em, they're my favorites, nice and fine, short design for my short fingers and I've never trimmed one yet. Mack's need to have a trip to the barbers chair before I can make them dance. Julian ( Mr.J) is a great guy, when he comes to the Arties Party @ the Syracuse Street rod Nats. he's just one of the guys who can stripe and letter like nobody's business! Still looking forward to some photos of your work buddy! Hey, if you want a nice cross border trip some time, keep my Percy Boom Panel Swap in mind. It will be September 10/11th this year! We're in Eastern Ontario, Canada. Campbellford to be accurate if you're trying to figure out where we are.
See Ya,
