My youngest many years ago asked me to get him a new board. I bought a blank. I airbrush an elaborate skull and knife, then pinstriped both sides and brush scripted "Live to Skate and Skate to Die". My ex wasn't impressed, to be hones nor was I after I saw it... he scuffed the heck out of the designs ... my bad. Love your post mate.
Mate, whenever I’ve painted a skateboard I try to not think about it getting used. I do paint a few banger race cars over here, they get totally destroyed in one meeting and then scraped, it does allow me to just splash the paint on and try different things out, I find it quite therapeutic to paint something nice but temporary. As always, thank you for watching and commenting, it really does mean a lot to me that people still watch these old videos, I might have to make some more when the show season finishes 👍
Thank you, it would really help my watch time if you did watch it all day 😂 You should give it a try someday (pinstriping that is, not watching TH-cam all day). Thank you for watching and commenting, have fun.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’ll be making some more videos when I’ve got the time, probably in the winter. Cheers for watching, keep practicing and keep it fun 👍
Another awesome video as usual I'm an older guy been painting for about 50 years but never pinstriping want to get into pinstriping I noticed that yourbrush is trimmed down. What size Mac brush were you using there do you always use their traditional Mac brush
Hello, I normally use either a Mack series 10 in a size 000 or an Xcalibre in a size 0000. I trim the odd stray hair if there's a couple poking out the end, this particular brush may have been one where I've slipped with the blade and removed a bit too much. I never trim anything from the belly of the brush. I always use a sword style brush for this style of pinstriping. I've just read the video description, this brush is the Xcalibre 0000 brush 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting, have fun 👍
The paints are always out mate, I paint every day, I’ve just not been filming anything. Struggling to find a way to make my videos interesting (and easier to film), I’m bored of the whole “time lapse” thing and want to try something different. Really enjoying the pinstripers podcasts, well done to you and Jack 👍
It’s more so that my fingers slide on the panel without sticking or squeaking. I don’t always wear one, it just depends on how sticky my fingers are on the day. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍
Now this might be a stupid question and I know pinstriping takes years of practice practice practice but when does somebody know when they're good enough to actually start painting customers cars
That’s a really good question, nothing stupid about it. It was years before I felt ready to paint someone’s vehicle, I showed my work online and at a few shows well before someone asked me to do their car. I’d say that when you’ve got very consistent lines, clean line connections, developed a nice style and built enough confidence in yourself then you’re about ready. You also need to be good with people, most car/bike builders and owners have an idea of what they like/want but getting that idea out of their head and into yours is sometimes hard work. Art is weird, some people will love it and want it, some just won’t get it and others will hate it. You know what you like, paint what you like and if others like it then sell 👍 Does that come close to answering your question?
@@PaintySniffers thanks for the reply that was very helpful indeed I'm doubtful I'll do this for a living just want to get really good at it but who knows keep the great videos coming
Thanks for sharing. I am trying a lot but how do you get thick lines with 0000 brush. I know its about the paint and how much is reduced or not but is there any tip you can share? I can reach that thickness with a mack 0 or 00. No way with 0000 what am i doing wrong.
It does have a lot to do with the paint and how much it’s reduced, I tend to really load up the brush and probably apply a little too much pressure while striping sometimes. Line weight can vary a lot from brush to brush, even when they’re the same make, model and size. The best advice I can give is to paint as much as possible, try different brush angles and paint consistency, try using just the tip of the brush or laying more of the brush on the panel. Every little thing you do different will have an effect on the line produced. You’re probably not doing anything wrong mate, it’s more likely I’m doing it wrong and making it look ok.

Thank you, it would really help my watch time if you did watch it all day 😂
You should give it a try someday (pinstriping that is, not watching TH-cam all day).
Thank you for watching and commenting, have fun.

@@PaintySniffers I'd like to get good enough to outline my scallops on my f100
You’ll do it, it takes a fair bit of practice to get good long even straight lines down but you’ll get there.
Keep practicing and keep it fun.

Hahaha 👍🤣
25% under where the truck is mounted!
Yeah, but this is never going to have hardware mounted, it’s hanging on a friends wall.

We need new videos brother! Get the Paints out!

@@PaintySniffers It is always challenge to make interesting videos. I just throw a bunch of shit against the wall and see what sticks 😂
Is the glove so you don't leave finger grease on your surface?
It’s more so that my fingers slide on the panel without sticking or squeaking. I don’t always wear one, it just depends on how sticky my fingers are on the day.

@@fletstk You're welcome, Thank you for watching 👍
Pinstriping and 70s porn music, a great combo, ( but I cant figure out why ).
You don't need to figure anything out, just know you've got great taste in style 👍
Very Nice My Man, I'm going to film today if you wanna check it out later. couple new pics on my IG from yesterday too
Cool, I look forward to watching that later 👍
