Beginner Pinstriping (???)
I want to get into doing a little pinstriping. I'm just not sure where to get brushes and paint from.
I have been looking at brushes on ebay, but there are quite a few different sizes, and I'm not sure which one would be best.
Can anyone give me a few tips, and where the best place is to get supplies? Whats the best paint to use? Are there any good books or magazines that
would give me a heads up?
I'd like to lay down a few designs on my bug, but mainly I want to learn how to edge graphics ( like the ones on my Civic below), as I've been
playing with airbrushing too.
Any info is greatly appreciated. :kiss
Cheers!
Dave

I'm sure some of the many hotrod magazines might have something on it. Just check your local newsagency or borders book store and spend an hour or so
just going through them.

Yeah, I'm gonna check out some bookstores this weekend. Haven't seen anything in magazines so far. Theres usually plenty of designs but nothing on
brush/paint suppliers anyways.

yeah http://www.sketchkult.com is my first port of call when i started i get my
brushes from supply one which is a sign writer supply shop, find a big shop and they usually dont have much but all you need is 1x mack "Brand"
"size"=00 dagger brush and a tin of "brand " one shot ,paint and lots of practice , but sign up on sketch kult and all on the forum are very
incouraging and very helpful and we need more aussies on there.

Sweet, I'll check it out. ^^^^That looks great.
So a 00 brush is the way to go to start off with? 00 is a big brush isn't it?
