PHOENIX TRANSMISSION

Next, I use my Mack 00 Series 20 striping brush. After I clean it, I dip it in the paint and pallet the brush back and forth to make sure I get the paint up in the ferrel of the brush for proper flow. Palletting back and forth, adding reducer for proper consistency, you want it to feel somewhere between melting ice cream and syrup. In other words, you want the paint to have some drag to it.

I start by pulling lines on each side of the tape until I get my center. Once I have that, I fill out the design, trying to be symmetrical and adding balance to the design without getting I use a compass to get my perfect circles. Keep in mind these designs will get easier as you practice and develop your own style.

Once I finish the design, I add a border to it and maybe some more red.

I start with adding my outline to the lettering. This takes some time and a lot of practice, but it’s a lot of fun and it adds to the panel. Once I finish outlining, I start adding some white to the design for balance, trying not to get too carried away. When using red and white, the white can kill the red if you’re not careful. I add just enough white to balance it out. Then, I will add a white border to match the red Have Fun

Remember that pinstriping should be fun, but be careful: it can also be addictive! Whether you want to make it an add-on business at your body shop or just do it as a hobby, it’s a wonderful art that has been around for years and isn’t going anywhere any time soon. So grab a brush and a can of paint and get to practicing!
