Pinstriping Brushes: Scrollers VS Swords. What's the difference?!?!

[@tommyrocker33]

Nice one, thank you kindly. Appreciate the honesty 👍

[@villapinstriping]

You're welcome Tommy!

[@nccyr1]

Thank you for covering this question. It's always good to get insights from the master about the tools of the trade.

[@villapinstriping]

Thanks for stopping by!!

[@nicworx8305]

just wanna say, thanks for the videos. keep doing your thing my man. You have taught me more than a few things that really helped.

[@villapinstriping]

Thanks for stopping by Nic. I appreciate the kind words and I'll keep making new videos as long as folks keep watching them 🙂

[@Stivale44]

I went through the exact same progression. Started with a #3 kafka, then to an xcaliber 00. The xcaliber I couldn't figure out for the intricate work, so I picked up a mack bobbo. And now I use a #3 drag'n fly pretty exclusively for both scroll and traditional striping designs. And I use a peewee for the long straight lines. I never made myself learn design with the sword/daggers so it does make some of the bigger jobs (semis and big trunks/hoods) a bit tougher, and I kick myself for that. But I'm getting better with it. Keep up the good work bro.

[@villapinstriping]

Thanks homie! I wanna try that peewee eventually. So many brushes on the market now it's hard to try them all

[@no-page]

Thanks for this great info. You made some points that I didn't know about and it has been really helpful. I really appreciate your channel.

[@villapinstriping]

Glad it was helpful! I always try to hear people's comments that become repetitive and create videos in that regard. And I kept hearing folks ask for explanation on this. These are the main types of videos I like to create because they have the biggest impact

[@ThomasBarnes-dh9je]

When you picked up the scroll you only talked about it whilst with the sword you physically demonstrated.

[@villapinstriping]

Thomas, I appreciate the heads up. I didn't realize I did this. I generally use a scroller for most of my designs and videos, so I sometimes assume people would have seen me demonstrate it many times. I'll try to make these videos as complete as possible in the future. Thank you 😊

[@joeortiz3455]

Yepoers you are absolutely correct I learned that lesson practicing always ol school sword fancy close and turning work use the sword

[@Scratchthejeepguy]

Thanks for the video, great insight and advice. I’ll keep on practicing with my sword, but will probably pick up a scroller at some point.

[@villapinstriping]

Thanks for checking out the video. I'm glad it was helpful 🙂

I've never used chromaflow

[@robbysspeedshop5990]

Funny. I have no big problems making Oldschool Pinstripe designs with a scroller, but I suck (in my opinion) most of the time with scrolling in general. I learned a lot from you. But I´m nowhere near a scroll design like you do them. I have some swords...but I rarely use them...because of the limitations with curved designs. Also, here in germany there is no big request on long lines on the side of cars. Most of the people here go the easy and cheap way with the cheap stripe stickers....

[@villapinstriping]

Ya. We have a mix of people getting custom Pinstriping and stickers too

[@ike.alcola]

Thank you for the video. I'd like to do a simple 1/8" pinstripe along the side profile of my motorcycle tank. What size brush do you recommend?

[@villapinstriping]

Mack blue wrap size 00

[@joeortiz3455]

Sword pin is a tough learn to any hand Jen does it as a pro she is

[@villapinstriping]

She's a true master

[@joedoomsdaypio4374]

Depends on the manufacturers brushes too. I started out using Macks and Mr. J's Excalibur's...I recently started experimenting with another brand, and quite Franky, I fucking hate em...it seems their sizes are different than macks, and the longer handles. I'm just gonna saw the handles to size and shape em with a razor.

[@villapinstriping]

I dig MrJs

[@lisaours7869]

Quick question - I've recently gotten a couple of mack swords 00 and 000 and both seem to have what looks literally like a Cowlick in the bristles. One has a permanent up turn curly cue on the longest bristle and the other seems almost warped in the middle of the belly. Both of them act squirrely as heck. Is this a common occurence? Suggestions on how to fix the issues? Or do I scrap and buy new ones? Thanks in advance!

[@villapinstriping]

Generally this is not a common occurrence. What you can do is clean them very very very very well and let them dry completely. Oil them and lay them flat (giving them a slight tug to straighten the hairs) And let them sit for a week. Repeat as needed. If there's an actual couple of problematic hairs you can always snip them off with toe nail clippers or something

How do you stripe the long line on the side of a car, Bakersfield CA

[@villapinstriping]

I don't 🙂 I haven't gotten good at that yet. So I don't showcase it.

[@daveblakeman1935]

You use a magnetic strip guide

[@JohnSmith-ih1ic]

I started with a sword and am getting better all the time..I tried a scroller and really didn't get on with it..for now I'm happy with my macks..

[@villapinstriping]

Macks make a great product!

[@daveblakeman1935]

Even if youmaster kafkas brush you still need to know sword Mack 10 style

[@villapinstriping]

Yes sir

[@billjenkins5422]

What do you use to oil them?

[@villapinstriping]

Currently I'm using Von Dagos Brush Preservative oil. But there's many options on the market these days. I'm helping to develop an oil as well
