Hey Painty! I pretty much just got done poppin' my cherry on this second design. I painted the middle part about 300 times. Then I did another 50ish with the width. My lines are starting to look pretty good. Still a bit sloppy. But, now I am moving on to other designs. I also switched from the Mack to the Kafka scrolling brushes set. Anyways! Thanks for the videos. They got my paint drippin'.

[@PaintySniffers]

Great to hear you’re having fun, I’d stick to the Mack brushes myself but if you’re more comfortable rocking the Kafka brushes, go with it. Thanks for watching and keeping me updated with your progress. Keep them brushes wet and keep that paint flowing 👍

[@elara680]

Just mesmerizing. That's beautiful man.

[@PaintySniffers]

Thank you, and thanks for watching.

[@stevekafka]

Really nice video and beautiful work, have you done any hot rod or m/c shows ? I did them (35) for almost eighteen years.

[@PaintySniffers]

Hi Steve, I have done car and bike shows, they're good fun but wind, dust and rain can make painting tricky. How do you deal with the elements at shows? Thank you for watching and commenting, I hope you're recovering well.

@@PaintySniffers for a long time I used a 10x15 easy-up in camo so the light wasn’t distorted with color it also has 4 sides, in heavy wind I’ve actually had people holding it down for me...light weight easy for one to raise, did the job. Then I found Hanson Weatherport , 15x20, looked like a quantity hut, sealable windows and two doors, the white canopy alone was 300 lbscould withstand a 40 lb per square.ft. Snow. Load, I could do chin-ups on the frame, took a huge effort to set up but NOTHING would interfere with work..ever. For a five day show it was the key for several other Pinstriper’s, but they all went smaller...expensive too, but sure made life easier in the long run. I had a crowd of about 25-30 people watch me struggle raising this tent at Sturgis one year,when it hailed on us

[@MadChoppah]

You make it look so easy...

[@PaintySniffers]

The more you practice, the easier it gets. Thanks for watching, have fun.

[@airpirate7687]

Nice in real time. Awesome lines

[@24441Chris]

Bruh curves are so hard for me. Just started but just gotta practice more. Nice work✔

[@TJ-vl2zl]

Hell ya it looks awsum.dam ur good.. what are you using to reduce your paint down ?I'm lost on that...

[@PaintySniffers]

Thank you. I use Chromoflow reducer in my paint, just a drop or two. Thanks for watching 👍 Have fun.

[@dirtydunkle]

Do you have a video or can you make one on how you are getting such clean curves? I tend to get “blow outs” when making curves.

[@PaintySniffers]

Hi, I will be making some more 'how to' videos as soon as I can get to somewhere I can film in peace. Thank you for watching.

[@patytrico]

Klingon painting! :)

[@PaintySniffers]

You Star Trek fans really do get everywhere don’t you 🤣👍 Thanks for watching.

[@1-shotslinger108]

Want tips Okay As soon as the tip of the brush touches the work line width is established Stop at desired with and maintain the same pressure throughout the line Also paint consistency is very important . Drag the brush

[@PaintySniffers]

Cool, I’ve just subbed to your channel for more top tips 👍

[@michaelzsizseri8015]

Any new videos coming soon really enjoy your videos Awesome work

[@PaintySniffers]

Thank you for watching, hopefully have time to make new content for you all soon 👍

[@JuggaloJWord]

Beautiful work!!

[@PaintySniffers]

Thank you 😀

[@54Suerte]

I just ordered my brushes! I cant wait to get started. Question, what is best to use for practice panels ? Love your videos, i hope to be as good and or better. Lol. ( wishful thinking )

[@PaintySniffers]

Welcome to the channel. any smooth surface that will take paint is good to practice on. Old car panels, glass, fridges, doors, anything really. I use a sign making material called Alupanel. Practice daily and you'll soon be better than me👍 Thank you for watching.

[@54Suerte]

@@PaintySniffers i cant wait! Im excited and scared at the same time. Lol thank you.

[@PaintySniffers]

@@54Suerte Nothing to be scared about, it's only paint. Just have fun with it 👍

[@BartlettPinstriping]

So good dude!

[@PaintySniffers]

Thank you. Are you going to do more on your channel?

[@BartlettPinstriping]

@@PaintySniffers yeah, I've been getting back into it recently

[@candicedavis2486]

Awwwmazing! So what kind of brush and paint would we need for this? Thanks’

[@PaintySniffers]

Thank you. You would need a pinstriping brush like a Mack series 10 or Xcaliber and some enamel paint, I have another video that shows you the basics. Thank you for watching, have fun 👍

[@DanJR0422]

waiting on some brushes to come going to put some time in this always wanted to do this

[@PaintySniffers]

Cool, let me know how you get on. It can take a little while to learn the basics but once you’ve got that then it’s fun all the way 👍

[@DanJR0422]

Painty Sniffers so what are the basics to learn

[@PaintySniffers]

The basic brush strokes (C curves, S curves and short straight lines) and pulling clean lines. Getting the paint consistency right is key. I’ve got a video on here about learning to pinstripe. If you’ve any questions or problems feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to help. Have fun 👍

[@DanJR0422]

Painty Sniffers I will give it a try when the brushes and paint get here been around drag racing all my life I want to do something to get back into it

[@adrianosbravatti8617]

Show!

[@PaintySniffers]

Show what?

[@1-shotslinger108]

Very cool

[@PaintySniffers]

Thank you 👍

[@eseferchogonzalez8084]

Asombroso

[@ccthundercustomcycles2608]

What type of brush are you using?

[@PaintySniffers]

Thats Mr. J's Xcaliber brush size 0000, it's a great brush.

[@1-shotslinger108]

You will have to practice daily . [for several months]

[@PaintySniffers]

I know this is an old comment but I’m sitting here watching paint dry and this is top of the list of comments I’ve not replied to yet. Yes, you’re right, several months would be the absolute minimum. I’ve seen cars at shows this season that have been pinstriped by people that should’ve practiced a bit longer (I’ve nothing against that but in years to come they’ll look back and cringe, assuming they carry on pinstriping that is). With a tag like “1-shotslinger” I’m going to guess that you paint? How busy are you?
