I tried it several times, bought everything needed to do it correctly and found out real quick it isn't nearly as easy as it looks, it takes year's of constant practice to do it professionally, either you have it or you don't and i don't, much much respect for those that do ! 👍.
After wieving several videos about pinstriping, i discovered the incredible Art of HotRod Jen .... I love Her and now i found a video from EastWood .... with Jen!! After 6 years i learn so much from this video .... Thank You Very Much and Thanks Jen!! 😍😍😍😍😍
thanks to all the squirrels who donated their tail fur so we could make these long beautiful lines. and thanks to people like Jen here. I learned in a very similar manner, a friend at a motorcycle show said I should try and gave me a can of one shot and a brush...
Did my first custom paint job on my Harley last winter and had a few flare outs. The info of spinning was mind blowing bc it makes so much sense! Got me excited to start trying new things!
@DVB DVB do you comment on the sexiness of male pinstripers too or do you only objectify women? Gotta comment on her body because she's just a tool to you, right? Enjoy her art without making her feel your eyes all over her body, Perv.
Omg yes! Almost every video is all about name dropping and who's bike i worked on or whos car i pinstriped and what shows i did and who I met in this year and that year. Like ok enough just show us HOW and tips and tricks.
Awesome work Jen to work through a tutorial whilst handling questioning. Keep up your skills and thanks for sharing your knowledge and clearly experience. Key with anything is you will always learn by doing something yourself, as the individual learning curve.
You are a hell of a good teacher Jen!!! I had not seen anybody explain it like you do.Even as you are lefthanded its easy to understand the way you explain how to handle the brusch. Thank´s a lot!! //Jörgen
“You don’t want to feel, like , a heavy drag “ ain’t that the truth! Hey great video I appreciate you sharing your craft with such candor. I learned a lot! I won’t try pinstriping with model paint brushes now cause I know! ✌️
@@rydenroam5551 the belly on a pinstriping brush holds your paint. with a regular art brush you can't do a long line and keep a constant thickness. think of the Mack brush as a really thin brush like you mention, but with a reservoir attached so you can keep going and going, adjusting your pressure as necessary to maintain uniform thickness.
Very good and informative Thanks HotRod Jen! Always amazed by your work. Thanks for sharing your talent, and thanks to Eastwood for making it possible.
I was striping back in the 59's, had Tommy the Greek in Oakland California as my hero. Back then there were only a few who ventured into the art of striping. The long lines that the "Greek" made were very, very good and the tear drop was a stand by. I started when I was 17, a senior in high school and was there for the start of the NHRA to sponsor drag racing with Wally.
on glass, the basic lines she shows in the vid, in different orientations. maintain uniform spacing and try to make each line equal thickness and length. do a 100 straight ones in a row, then right curves in a row, etc...
Im not new to pinstriping but I am always looking for new tips/techniques/tricks/styles etc etc. You say to always keep the belly of the brush down ( I use mack mostly as well) but I find for myself for really thin lines to have the belly up works best for me. I usually do this when making spider webs or detailing a feather though, so its sorta not pinstriping so much as just painting.
Most definitely you can use your painting skills every where not just car's, store window's, signs, furniture, just about anything that needs advertisement or some kind of pattern not just stripping you got to keep those skills open to just about anything and everything. I started out drawing in my younger year's then moved on to using my hands helping my father on car's in his shop. To building my own car to my friend and I opening are own body and paint shop right out of high school. Then I got into welding when are shop fell through, but worked with all kinds of diffrent materials when building a Kustom car you have to work with wood, plastics, metal, copper, aluminum and just about everything else to build something Kustom made. Painting is relaxing you get in your own world brush, air brush gun what ever your tools are mixing those two gether air brush and pinstriping brush I can imagine what art work you can come up with. I have an air brush set up but no pinstriping brushes set?
one thing also is. Left handers, vice versa, is easier of starting at the opposite of their brush hand. Lefties start with right, Righthanded with left. As it's much, much easier for to mirror what our right hand paints, should we be lefties. Again, and vice versa. So work with me here... left...yes, Painting with left, start painting the right side, paint with... right.. paint the left side first. Great video. Awesome info and talent. PEACE!
I'm a lefty and I haven't bought any professional 1shot painting equipment yet, but I've been sign painting using rustolum paint with my home made brushes I like to use. I've been seriously thinking about buying the a starter kit for pinstriping I'm not a pinstriper but I'll try it out more of drawing latter's and drawings. The line's look fun and cool design to put on tool boxes. I guess I would practice on a sheet of glass paint it black in one side. That way it's easy to clean or scrape off.
Overall, a very good, informative presentation. Saddening that the people that gave this a thumbs down didn't consider how much effort goes into producing a video like this. Mistakes are going to happen. An occasional glitch from the camera operator is forgivable.
Once that blob went into the cup I would have filtered it out. Everything HRJ teaches here is good info. I met her once and made her a custom mahl stick but I think she thought I was a stalker or she forgot she met me. I still have the mahl stick. She is a great striper.
great video, esp. all the tips. one suggestion, for the guy who asked about model cars (@55:41) you could do thin lines with an airbrush, with a 0.2 or finer needle; they even have models which do just that, for illustrators, and cake decorators, who need fine lines.
Place a straw into can, blow into, then lid. Your inert "carbon dioxide" will help make it last longer. If that freaks you out, use bloxygen (canner inert gas). Nice video!
Ive been wanting to paint some art onto my car lately, and i cant find anyone here in Puerto Rico that does this type of art Although I'll have to practice a bit before i start on my own car, this video really helps me out, Thank you
With Computers and Projectors, it would be interesting to project a design onto a piece of paper and then practice going over the already established pattern so you can practice a pattern an experienced person has created to help you learn.
As a Decorative painter, we call it cross hatching. But it's beautiful the way you made the design. We use stripers, rounds and liners for our scrolls and letters, as well as sometimes flats, or a cat tongue. We call our designs Telemark or Rosemaling, and there are also different German types of scrolls and flowers that go with the style. You do a great job. I wanted to know if i can use regular oil paint over a car or RV clear coat and do I protect it after it dries. And can I use acrylic over a cars clear coat? And can i put my design over a primer than spray it with clear coat?
If you are a painter and you haven't drawn in a long time is it best to start out with a pencil just to get used to doing straight and curvy line's then move up to the brushes and I airbrush a little also so can you please give me a little advice your truly Mike with JUST PAINT
You did an awesome job explaining but for about 1/3 of the video, we couldn't see what you were talking about because the camera wasn't following you. Thanks for being so thorough.
An old timer kept a jar of petroleum jelly in his box. After cleaning the brush, he would load it with some of the jelly in the brush for storage and then just clean it out very good before use again. I do not know if this is proper but it is what I have been doing. But I only pin stripe occasionally and am certainly no master at it.
I tried it several times, bought everything needed to do it correctly and found out real quick it isn't nearly as easy as it looks, it takes year's of constant practice to do it professionally, either you have it or you don't and i don't, much much respect for those that do ! 👍.

Ah, that was nice to watch. Morning cofefe and watching Jen pinstripe. She does a great job of explaining everything to someone who wants to learn.
did u mean to spell coffee as "cofefe" lol if not figured id help
I've been striping for 35 years and she gets it. everything she says is spot on
thanks to all the squirrels who donated their tail fur so we could make these long beautiful lines. and thanks to people like Jen here. I learned in a very similar manner, a friend at a motorcycle show said I should try and gave me a can of one shot and a brush...
Did my first custom paint job on my Harley last winter and had a few flare outs. The info of spinning was mind blowing bc it makes so much sense! Got me excited to start trying new things!
Talented artist. Extremely grateful of her taking the time to do this show. Was informative and fun.
ONE OF THE BEST PINSTRIPING TODAY!! I KID YOU NOT.
@DVB DVB n on
@DVB DVB do you comment on the sexiness of male pinstripers too or do you only objectify women? Gotta comment on her body because she's just a tool to you, right? Enjoy her art without making her feel your eyes all over her body, Perv.
This is a proper quality lesson not just an artist showing off
Omg yes! Almost every video is all about name dropping and who's bike i worked on or whos car i pinstriped and what shows i did and who I met in this year and that year. Like ok enough just show us HOW and tips and tricks.
This girl rocks. What an amazing job, those designs are gorgeous.
Amazing artistry! Done custom work for years but, that has always been mind boggling to me. Outstanding tutelage!
Best striping tutorial I've seen ...
HotRod Jen is pinstriping royalty. If you want to learn the correct way follow her here and everywhere you can.
Awesome work Jen to work through a tutorial whilst handling questioning. Keep up your skills and thanks for sharing your knowledge and clearly experience. Key with anything is you will always learn by doing something yourself, as the individual learning curve.
This video is very good Hot Rod Jen. You ROCK! Thanks to the Eastwood Company.
You are a hell of a good teacher Jen!!! I had not seen anybody explain it like you do.Even as you are lefthanded its easy to understand the way you explain how to handle the brusch.
Thank´s a lot!!
//Jörgen
One of the best videos I’ve seen - just getting started and this answered so many questions.
Thanks for bringin Jen in on this one - she’s killer!
Thank you. No matter how long you have been striping you can always learn something from somebody else. Chhers!
I'm loving how much of a paint nerd she is! Awesome stuff.
Great information! She answers questions before you think of them. You rock Jen!
“You don’t want to feel, like , a heavy drag “ ain’t that the truth! Hey great video I appreciate you sharing your craft with such candor. I learned a lot! I won’t try pinstriping with model paint brushes now cause I know! ✌️
And I was just about to ask if you can use a regular art brush still to do pin stripping, like the really thin brush.
@@rydenroam5551 the belly on a pinstriping brush holds your paint. with a regular art brush you can't do a long line and keep a constant thickness. think of the Mack brush as a really thin brush like you mention, but with a reservoir attached so you can keep going and going, adjusting your pressure as necessary to maintain uniform thickness.
Jen,Thank you for taking the time to make a great instructional video.Your awesome...
Learned a lot from this young lady. Thanks, Paisano
Thank you so much Jen for your generous tips , I’ve learned so much already.
And thanks for the questions from the people - they read my mind!
Very good and informative Thanks HotRod Jen! Always amazed by your work. Thanks for sharing your talent, and thanks to Eastwood for making it possible.
John Gilbert
I'm really happy to see a lefty doing this!
I’m a lefty and I am going to start learning
I watched a lot of your videos and inspired me to get into pinstriping it's cool I like your work
That is beautiful work young lady..You are a most certainly talented artist.
Mickey Mac ,
Thanks for all the info for us beginners.Great video
Nice interview/demonstration both of you. Pasta is raw!
Thank you for this video. Jen, you are an inspiration! As a female gearhead and automotive enthusiast and artist, I salute you!
She is really good and also doing a great job teaching. This was such an inspirational and educational video!

Thank You Eastwood super good episode, Great job Jen.
Thanks for posting this...Jen is a monster talent, I appreciate learning from her. Stripe on... :-)
Should have allowed for the automatic CC feature for captioning to make it inclusive for the Deaf. Can you please include CC thanks?
Thank you for the lesson, you are very knowledgeable! I think This takes lots of practice to get good.
10,000 lines! that's how I learned...
on glass, the basic lines she shows in the vid, in different orientations. maintain uniform spacing and try to make each line equal thickness and length. do a 100 straight ones in a row, then right curves in a row, etc...
you are awesome, try the kafka brushes sometimes, you dont need to turn the brush, it is pointed on the tip.
Im not new to pinstriping but I am always looking for new tips/techniques/tricks/styles etc etc. You say to always keep the belly of the brush down ( I use mack mostly as well) but I find for myself for really thin lines to have the belly up works best for me.

Beutifull work,love your cross overs. Classic
She was crammed for time but it looks great. I would love to have her do my tailgate and hood on my 85’ Isuzu pup. Great job Jen.

What kind of board/paper is best to practice on? Thank you for all this GOLD info! Jen is amazing! 🙌
Thanks Jen Learned a lot from you.
Damn good tip for lefties like myself. thanks. this is one of the most informal video I've seen on my searching so far. Thanks
Pinstriping. Almost a lost art. Excellent video.

Excellent focus.....wonderful work...........
cool video good tips. Respect . I never leave open cans , bugs flys dust and thickening changes how pain acts or reacts

Great Job Jen, thanks!
Awesome, thanks for sharing I have learnt loads (England)

Very nice your good at what u do awesome

Expertly shown ...thanks..... UK viewer.....
I want to know what kind of board you are using?
oh wow thank you sooooo much for this video.. it's such a helper 🙏🏻🙌🏻
1:20:45 I also see old Sewing Machines and their Wood Cases Pinstriped. She mentions seeing pinstriping on old Safes

Although I'll have to practice a bit before i start on my own car, this video really helps me out, Thank you
May have been answered, any dry time before applying the secondary color? Any issues with the colors mixing?
With Computers and Projectors, it would be interesting to project a design onto a piece of paper and then practice going over the already established pattern so you can practice a pattern an experienced person has created to help you learn.
Lovely work Jen :>)
Outstanding video !!!!
I use the Reducer myself to get the stubborn “ heal “ or feral gunk out
Good info Jen thank you.
Please watch Steve Kafka that man will give you pinstriping lesson that will blow your mind.
SHE is Totally the QUEEN of Exactness .
Mama Mia .
When she is striping, where is she looking? The leading edge, before the brush? after the brush? or does she look where she's going to?
Hahaha jammed for time and still it looks perfect to me. I would love to have her to do my tail gate and hood. This is great.
Awesome stuff!
I like what you doing keep up the good work I also do pinstriping

And can i put my design over a primer than spray it with clear coat?
Pinstriping requires very fine hand and eye coordination.
How do you calculate how much to charge?
Great learning video.
Awesome job!
Do you ever use a maul stick to keep away from the wet paint
If you are a painter and you haven't drawn in a long time is it best to start out with a pencil just to get used to doing straight and curvy line's then move up to the brushes and I airbrush a little also so can you please give me a little advice your truly Mike with JUST PAINT
Nice work
If you want to draw out the lines first on a bike what do you use?
Staedtler omnichrome pencils, they don’t melt like stabilo pencils do !
How do you keep your fingers and hands out of the part that you already did
excellent video
You did an awesome job explaining but for about 1/3 of the video, we couldn't see what you were talking about because the camera wasn't following you. Thanks for being so thorough.
I was going to ask if you contaminate the paint with a screwdriver ?
Can you pinstripe over chrome an powder coating?
She is amazing...
gr8 show did the horn get signed by the eastwood guys that would be cool
After your done striping and cleaning your brush can you use Neats oil to preserve the hair of the brush till next time or is to harsh thanks victor
Totally awesome!
An old timer kept a jar of petroleum jelly in his box. After cleaning the brush, he would load it with some of the jelly in the brush for storage and then just clean it out very good before use again. I do not know if this is proper but it is what I have been doing. But I only pin stripe occasionally and am certainly no master at it.
Do you ever do a layout with pencil before
That was great!!! Thank you
When you say high and low temp, does that means depending up current ambient temp that would decide which hardener to use?
How do you keep from smearing your design being left handed?
The technique is great when you see it.
It looks to me like you are using the brush with the belly up and not down or is that just maybe the camera and perspective ?
FYI, Kafka Brush Company is up for sale.
Do u ever use candy colors and taping
