Hello All,

Chaybra started another thread which had the theme of whether to paint your own vehicle yourself or to pay for someone else to do it for you. Who has Painted and who has Paid?.

It reminded me to look up a skill that I have always admired - pin striping. I have an old truck that is waiting patiently for me to start restoring it. The truck has traces of pin striping still evident here and there along the edges of some panels.

I am not sure in which thread these videos belong in. However I could watch these artisans work all day.

The sound seems to drop out of the first clip after a while, however it does not detract from the content at all! Enjoy!

The second video introduces a "Mack Brush" which a number of pin stripers mention - the company offers a range of brushes. http://www.mackbrush.com. There is a series of three Eastwood videos about pin striping and the guest even mentions the use of Mack brushes.

Kind Regards
