Hello! Just discovered your channel and it brings back memories of my father Matt who had a sign company for over 50yrs! He was from the Philadelphia Pa area and then moved his business to Norristown Pa, and in addition to this talent he was a fine artist as well. Your work is clean and tight, just like dad's. He would of loved to have met you.
@@MonicalovesMangoes that makes me so happy that my channel brings back memories for you. I am honored you put me in the same category as your father. Thank for watching and taking the time to reach out .❤️😎
Loved that you put the whole thing on air. I tend to fast forward things so ppl aren’t put off, but I really appreciate it seeing the whole thing though 😊👍👍✌️
@@rickbendi8709 sure 😊 it’s always nice to watch stuff develop in detail. But then the video of the hair dresser window I reverse-gilded came to about 3 hrs (already cut down), guess nobody wants to watch such lengths, with the exception of LotR movies maybe…
Thank you. And for the record. I would watch your glass leafing video. It’s something I always wanted to do. But was never really taught. I’ve done leaf on glass but , but it’s not the way it should be done. I outline lettering then after it dries I brush the varnish on the inside and put the leaf on. Hack! I know . But I’m out of my element on that. But I’d love to see it.
Thank you! I’ve been a sign painter - pinstriper since the early 80’s. I used to do paint tavern windows for Old Style throughout Chicagoland. I’m happy to be able to share this stuff with you guys. Thanks again.
Thanks for reply mate,I did a part time Signwriting course for 2 years many years ago it's a Hobby I love,I recently saw a youtube on Signwriting in Vienna Austria it was amazing,I recommend it.
Thank you for sharing the entire process! It takes you less time to paint a door than it does for me to design something like this on the computer. Old School, by hand, wins! Watching your letters come to life is so satisfying. Much better than point editing fonts for hours 😅 the pinstriping at the end is FIRE! 🤩🙌
Thank you so much!! I don’t know what point editing even is. 😳 just do a fast pencil sketch on paper, then take your” stabilo all pencil “ and draw it on a sign or vehicle . Then start painting. If you have a good sketch, the paint job will look nice. Don’t over think it. Get back to free hand sketches. You can do it!! You sound like you have passion. And that’s all you need!!! Have fun!!! Thank you for watching!!
@@rickbendi8709 unfortunately, my freehand sketches look like my 4 year olds drew them 😅 hence why I design on the computer. Thank you for your encouragement!
@@Dedsec499 it’s all I ever wanted to do. I do love it. But be careful what you wish for. My suggestion to any younger person is get a career with a pension and health care. Do this on the side . Have fun. 😎
A very pleasing video .... very pleasing. I started out hand lettering and always have done a bit of it, but got shifted over to vinyl and digital for the most part. Now I have to letter a 1940's vehicle so I have been obsessing about that. They request me to use hardener so One Shot will cure faster and it can be ceramic coated. I never used hardener before. Anyways, watching you work your magic and listening to the background music was calming to me. Thanks for the video. BTW, do you have any idea which background music you used?
Thank you for the kind words! Let me just say you don’t need to use hardener to have the lettering ceramic coated. My customers ceramic coat my jobs, and I never use hardener . I don’t like the way the paint flows with hardener. So I choose never to use it. And my Ronan enamel holds up just fine. I’m sure 1 shot will also. I would let the paint cure for 10 days after lettering ,before ceramic coating over it. As for the music… my son does my editing, I’m not good with computers 😬it’s a free background music you can get on line. Thanks again for watching and good luck with your lettering!!!😎
Really enjoyed this one. No mahl stick you're a one handed magician. Didn't see any trace of a pounce pattern was it all free hand? and interested to know what make of brush you're using.
I roughly sketch it out with a stabilo white pencil. The brushes were a couple of different ones , one was a Luca. The bigger one was a French master. Probably a size 8. Thanks for watching😀🙏
No. I used to occasionally, but not any more. . It changed the flow of the paint, it got heavy ,quick. Didn’t see the benefits of it. Although, try it ,and do some research . Some guys use it. Thanks for watching 😎
I use a Stabilo All pencil. White and blue. Don’t get the black…it’s difficult to remove. You can paint right over the pencil marks. They work great. Thanks for watching 😎
Hi .... great work... how do you stop the paint on the pallet drying out, do you keep adding thinners to the existing paint.. or keep adding paint to the pallet....👍
When the paint builds up on the pallet, I just flip the page and start fresh. I might add thinner to the paint if it gets heavy. It’s a feel. I never want the paint to thin. Thanks for watching
@@tjclare1942 I was taught without it. My old mentor, chuck jeske threw mine away. 🤣He painted brewery windows. He said it slowed him down. I use it occasionally,very rarely. But for me it becomes a crutch. I learned it’s what you get used to. As long as the job looks great when you’re done , it doesn’t matter. Thanks for watching😎😎
As long as it looks good, you can do with whatever you feel comfortable with. I switch it up. Sometimes small brush, sometimes bigger. Thanks for watching
I’m not sure we’re your located. If you can’t find one on social media near you, go to car shows or motorcycle shows wear you live.and look for pinstripes and lettering on vehicles .Ask the owners of the vehicles ,and trust me someone will give you a connection. Good luck😎

🤣 I never thought anyone would watch my full time video. 🤷♀️
Why not? There are people watching full PGA tournaments or snooker games…. To me that’s certainly less entertaining than your vid 😉

Saludos y respeto desde Mexico
I really love your work! Do you add hardener when painting on vehicles?
No. I used to occasionally, but not any more. . It changed the flow of the paint, it got heavy ,quick. Didn’t see the benefits of it. Although, try it ,and do some research . Some guys use it. Thanks for watching 😎
What type of pencil do you use to draw out your design? And do you paint or pinstrip over the pencil are next to it as a guide?
I use a Stabilo All pencil. White and blue. Don’t get the black…it’s difficult to remove. You can paint right over the pencil marks. They work great. Thanks for watching 😎

Cheers Rick..... just been putting some stripes on an old engine uneven surface and found the paint dragged a bit.....
Depending on the weather. “Humid “ or “ hot”. You can add a few drops of Penetrol. It’s a flow enhancer . It works well in Extereme conditions
Incredible!
Thank you😁😎
What type of paint do you use for pin striping? Sealer?
Ronan lettering enamel.
man your good, thanks for a great video
Thank you😎
Thank you for keeping a dying art alive!

Isn’t the “Crane” word supposed to be drawn in one single brush stroke with a larger brush rather than being “drawn” slowly with a smaller brush?
As long as it looks good, you can do with whatever you feel comfortable with. I switch it up. Sometimes small brush, sometimes bigger. Thanks for watching
How do I find a sign writer near me?
I’m not sure we’re your located. If you can’t find one on social media near you, go to car shows or motorcycle shows wear you live.and look for pinstripes and lettering on vehicles .Ask the owners of the vehicles ,and trust me someone will give you a connection. Good luck😎
