I realised the other day that I wasn;t using my creative side much in recent years, After doing GCSE and A-Level art, my job doesn't really cater for an creativity, so I thought ah why don't I take up something to get the juices going (aside from filming porno, ba dum pshhhh)... So I ordered a load of pinstriping gear and after an hour or so of practice today I came out with this, my first design, with no other material around to go on...... I wanted to put another colour on top but had to stop as I was feeling slightly doped up from the thinners. hehe What you guys think? Anyone on here an avid "striper"? Ryan

Cheers dudes, yeh, it is a bit on the pi*s, I've got a really bad habit of tilting my head so trying to iron that one out. The pinstriping gear you can get from: www.pinstripinguk.com/The paint's are about the same price all over the world. But I'd advise getting any extra brushes from America, Ebay is choice. A mack brush here costs £7.50-£12.50 each On ebay I managed to get a whole card of 4 brushes for £15! It's a bit daunting at first and I did feel like throwing it all out the window and running it over multiple times, but it's quite theraputic, aside from the smell of the thinners, that hurts ya brain.

Random insomnia-fuelled thought:
Could you use pinstriping equipment to do some sort of outlined graffiti stuff around a lock or whatever? Same idea, totally different style?
Or would that be utterly stupid?

can't see why you couldn't its sign painting equiptment after all. I've seen lots of solid painted stuff. It's mainly used for outlining though, obv you couldnt paint in a large area with a striping brush as it's a bit thin. Any normal brush would do it though and use the same paints.
