Nothing wrong there for starting out, it is a hell of a lot better than I could hope to do, my best attempt at a stick man, leaves him looking like he's been in a bike wreck and in the emergency room.

Not a bodywork painter myself, but I have done a lot of detail paint work in connection with other hobbies.

Here is one tip I that I suspect imports well to your pinstriping challenge. When painting a line, look at the end point instead of the brush. It's a lot easier to keep your hand steady and the line straight and/or even when you trust your hand to go where you are looking.

Of course, riders should grab the concept since it parallels the "you go where you look" phenomenon on the road.

Thanks,as I just started yesterday I'm not expecting miracles.Joined the linked forum(no/at the end) and even did my first post.This is going to be good,I hope

Sorry about that. That is a great site that belongs to Craig Fraser. You will here is name a lot with airbrushing and stuff. HE has some great DVDs.

I do not know if he has any pin-striping DVDs.

I can paint body work. Body work is way easier than detail work. In one of the pics I took, you can see where my tailpiece broke last winter because another one of my bikes fell into it and of course it was brittle due to the cold. I even did that as a quick fix with rattle can paint and it looks better than some MAACO jobs I've seen! lol
