I have the same brushbox Villa, I've had it for over two decades now and it is a very important feature to have in your stiping kit because it keeps your long lines brushes nice and straight. I keep all of my brushes in this kit oiled with thirty wieght motor oil. I also cut a piece of cardboard to the shape of the box and slide it umderneath the springs to give my long lines brushes a flat surface to rest on.

[@villapinstriping]

That's a great idea with the cardboard. The only issue I have with them boxes is that they get dust inside easy.

Stay away from laquer thinner all together, it's way too agressive for cleanig brushes and will totally ruin some plastics. I have used mineral spirits for thining, but benzine I belive is better because it evaporates quicker and you can use it as a degreeser as well. Great video!

I use a Wal-Mart picture frame for practice too. The other day I saw a comment by Steve Kafka advising to NEVER practice on glass! He says you'll never paint on such a surface, and you'll get a false sense of "skidding" on glass....

Check the comments section: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIuzd3ycqtR9ga8

[@villapinstriping]

Dennis Schell Yup. Everyone has a different opinion on the matter. You'll find 3 or 4 other recommendations along the way. Just use what works best for you.

[@1-shotslinger108]

That may be true but if you can do glass you can do any surface.

[@gregorylopez3155]

Use what ya got .And it's not true you will never do glass...I have lettered many a name ect.,on the rear quarter window of a car...And I have stripped around the edges of car windows,old school low-rider thing...And like I said rear quarter glass with names ..Earth Angel..The Pretender..And other stuff...Plus if you can strip that the rest is a breeze...So you see,you may have to strip or letter glass...Not to disrespect Kafka he is a master at the art he probably just did not think about some of the old school shit we did way back when.

[@stevekafka]

What I said was ,when your practicing with my Scrollers to use a surface with tooth to pull the paint, obviously people paint on glass ,just not when your learning with my brush...

Is it true that it's hard to clear over one shot. I started with some of their product and like it but I have heard this rumor.

[@villapinstriping]

It's just something that needs to be learned. Clearing requires a few light coats over 1 shot before going full blast. Making sure the 1 shot is dry also helps. Adding hardener can greatly increase the odds in your favor. Just something that needs to be tested for you to understand how it will react

I do have a wee question, I'm finding it hard to get all the paint out of the ferrule, i use white mineral spirits as a first wash then low temp reducer but i just cant get it all out. Brushes here are $50- $80 each (im in New Zealand) and i dont want to kill them!. Any ideas? Thanks so much again and you too have a awesome day :)

[@villapinstriping]

Sarah_d_makeupartistry So please remember to use clear mineral spirits (not the milky white stuff)... Low Temp reducer should only be used to reduce, not to clean. Please try my method of using (Lacquer thinner 1st wash... Then Mineral Spirits 2nd wash. Wipe at the base of the hair in between. Repeat as many times as needed. As long as you keep them well oiled they should be fine.

[@villapinstriping]

Sarah_d_makeupartistry If you look at my videos I do also have one on cleaning up brushes. Hopefully this helps

[@rodhorton3224]

Hi, the better brush oil is Neatsfoot oil. It is a leather dressing and derived from animals. It is not as harsh as a minerals oil, after all the brush hairs are normally animal hairs. It is available from saddlery shops. Must be 100% pure and not mixed with mineral oil or bees wax. I have sign brushes that are 30 years old and still pull nice lines. Cheers from New Zealand.

@@villapinstriping oh i got it!thanx,bro !i saw many ppl do striping on a clear coat that not sanded...do you do the same like them ?shouldnt i worry that the paint cant catch the surface ?in my mind,we should paint on a not too smooth surface to make sure the paint can tightly stick on it,am i wrong?

[@villapinstriping]

Yes. I also paint on top of the clear. The only thing you need to do is make sure the surface is completely clean (no wax, no contamination) that's what makes the paint stick to the clear coat. It lasts a very long time as long as you prepare the surface well. Clean with wax and grease remover.

[@villapinstriping]

Both. You will eventually need to know how to work both ways. But, comfortableness in the very beginning helps to get you practicing more. So go with what feels natural. But try not to get use to just one spot. Hope that helps

[@villapinstriping]

Make sure your glass is secured down too.. tape it or something, you don't wanna chase around the panel while you are learning

konstantin sche Black is a very thick and difficult color to work with if you are just starting out.

Villa Pinstriping it is more effective to add several drops of the same hardner to the mineral spirits that you pallet with, “marrying” the paint and avoiding a bad paint reaction, I wish you would check with a professional before giving out the wrong information, I’m here if you have questions, I’ve been doing this very successfully for almost fifty years.
