My first and early stripes

Hi everybody

Im new to this site and pinstriping. I have been striping for six months now and this i some of my work so far.

Very early stripes using waterbased paint and a Mach 00.

Practice piece after getting some 1shot, using a Xcaliber 0000.

My latest, a box for my brushes, using 1shot and Xcaliber 0000.
The lettering and background are made with my wifes artist acrylic paint and an old ruined size 1 brush (the only one I could find).

Supplies are hard to get in Denmark so I have to use what I got and bye supllies online, as i go along.

Regards TeddyC

These show vast improvement as you move along. You should be rightly proud! I have an extra Mack 00 and a generic #2 sword striper that I'd be happy to send you if times are tight. Let me know.

Thanks for the kind words. Very Happy

Thanks for the generous offer Junkiejones(You are aware that i live in Europe?), but I already have an Mach 00 which i don't use that often, because I prefere the Xcaliber.

The problem with getting supplies is that I have to order from either UK or USA and when you are an new to this it's hard to know what to get.
So I have two choices either bying a little at a time and pay the shipping, or bye a lot and possible ending up with things i don't use. Confused

Shipping is also a problem, for instance it's not legal to ship 1shot reducer by air.

But eventually I wil get the things I need and like to use.

Regards TeddyC

Yes, I realized you were in Europe. Is shipping really that much for a tiny little brush? Confused

Anyway, keep up the good work and if you wear your brush out from all that hard practice the offer is still good.

Sending a couple of brushes to Denmark won't cost that much, but shipping paint, brush oil etc. that's a different story.

For eksampel five cans of 1shot cost 45 $, shipping to Denmark 50$. Shocked

Contact a guy called ploon on here, a very good striper and he is based in Holland. He might be able to help find suppliers in mainland europe. You striping is improving well, remember what everyone says - practise practise practise!
