My dad did pinstriping back in the day, I didn't understand how much of an art it was at the time. He also airbrushed unbelievably real looking headlights on the fronts of stock cars.

[@drewintampa]

I think that he is under stating his talent. It takes tremendous skill and talent to be able to do something like that. I'm a product of the 80s. Pinstriping was huge back then and it's coming back. I just bought a brand new car a couple of days ago and they asked me if I wanted it pinstriped and I said absolutely.

I'm 32 just started pinstriping. Found it fascinating as a kid finally getting to learn it. I'll never do it for a living but it's a relaxing hobby to have. As long as you don't mind making many mistakes in the process.

[@tmlewis4242]

Billy did my 23 Lincoln Aviator and we loved it. Nice guy. Great artist.

[@guynouri]

Beautiful

[@railmaster.7752]

[@anamericanentrepreneur]

Great video!

[@montyzumazoom1337]

Triumph motorcycles in Meriden England always used to paint pinstripes by hand on the tanks and mudguards. Enfield India still do it. Fascinating to watch.

[@Nexror01]

I didn't even realise that the brush was doing something bcuz it was so smooth, first thought it was his neat little finger glove.

[@chuckclark6162]

1:49-1:52 daaaaaamn, that’s a wavy line…

[@JustTheFactsYall]

So glad he is a local! I’ll be hitting him up!

[@classtilton871]

I hope you did!

[@darrinpennington]

I love watching these guys. I old enough to remember Kafka and Weisgerber

[@Clintshandpainted]

Both are still Pinstriping

[@kanchanpaulsenglishclasses4021]

How you did the pinstriping looks really amazing !!

[@ridered7262]

Amazing work, My 3" Purdy brush doesn't even hold that much paint.

[@hnmmp3778]

Dang that control. Prople thimk straight line is easy but doing it by hand i tough lol

[@wanfatihin743]

1:48 --~~---~~--- 😂

[@tylerbuck9347]

[@robie1445]

Rare talent today 👍

[@frederick6613]

If you have ever done a BMW X4 putting pinstripes on a black BMW X4 please let me know. I am very curious to see what it would look like. Thank you

[@colehara]

I couldn't paint a straight line if I spent all day trying.

[@masipul860]

Gila, tangannya anteng sekali. Kalo saya yg melakukannya, tangan saya pasti bergetar seperti gempa bumi. Apalagi melakukannya di mobil langka.

[@pinstripingbybear.]

I have been doing this art for 17 years, im a pinstriper the one thing this gentleman is not telling anyone is how dealerships rip off the artist and charge through the nose to the customer for a simple two lines down the side of a car an average regular dealership will charge a customer between 1,000 and $3,000 and only paid the artist between twenty and fifty dollars a car

[@classtilton871]

Thats why this guy works for himself

[@pinstripingbybear.]

@@classtilton871 i work for myself, what do you mean by that ?

[@pinstripingbybear.]

@@classtilton871 if he is charging that kind of price he is Honestly over charging people, i want to put the name of this art in my comments but KZbin takes my comment down in less than a minute if i put the P word in there

[@pinstripingbybear.]

@@classtilton871 pinstriping by bear

[@pinstripingbybear.]

It actually let me put pinstriping in a comment lol let see if ut stays

No caffeine for this dude. 🏆

[@user-ft6zf9hr5u]

Vey nice work man, respect!

[@andreaernestoreani9599]

I just watched your video and i Like it. Now i need a technical suggestion from you. Is possibile to pinstripe on a bedliner paint? Tha oainter is finishing all my motorcycle in Army green Raptor and the surface is very rough and i don't know if i can. What do you think about? Thank You

[@reportingforbbws]

Yes you can

[@loud_music_only]

Jeeze this narrator has such a great voice, wow

[@zonarecordingstudio]

I pinstriped at dealers for years, but now here in ny ,the cars are bare

[@villapinstriping]

Billy is a beast! True craftsmanship

[@dakotamcclure1513]

how much does this cost

[@WhiskeyTango68]

150-200 vehicles per week? Prove it…😂

[@pinstripingbybear.]

I have been doing this art for 17 years, @3:44 never have I charged or see another artist charge 3,000.00 for a job. Unless it's like a top fuel drag car with airbrushing/lettering/pins/flash art.. I do a hood trunk and small designs under the door handles or above them for 300-400 bucks and that's with 3 colors....... 3k W T F!!! I live in the wrong area I need to get in on that car seen..

[@user-fp3xx9ng6i]

Lol same reaction when I heard that price. I’ve been ripping myself off 😂

[@pinstripingbybear.]

@@user-fp3xx9ng6i your a pinstriper also ?

[@pinstripingbybear.]

@@user-fp3xx9ng6i I'm in aw that my comment stayed every time I put pinstriping a comment KZbin deleted the comment

[@wubaru]

Clearly this guy does not drink caffeine!

[@nicholasgiroffi141]

[@markleeks1116]

I love all the titles of these videos. Brain surgery for beginners etc. To do anything professionally you have to be a professional

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

Cool, I just wish Dealerships didn't shove it down our throats lol.

[@JonDoe-cg4mr]

I shoot with this hand.

[@Elzon1]

Just an excuse for the dealership to tack on more fees on top of the price tag of the car for better profit margins.

[@tonelives1023]

Not so easy !!!!!

[@eskee1]

This guys lines are wonky

[@DeluxeBrian]

pinstriping looks tacky

[@joshpeck5842]

Disagree

[@SamThredder]

only when it hasn't dried yet badum tsh

[@pinstripingbybear.]

If it's done wrong yes it can be, but if you let a good artist do the work and not try to step in and tell them colors and how you want it done they can turn a plain vehicle into a masterpiece

[@aarondalton2223]

What kind of paint are you using?

[@oddskies]

Most pinstripers and sign painters use One Shot Enamel.

[@ConfectioneryCorner]

Yikes, the line at 1:46 isn't very straight. I wouldn't pay for that 🤣
