Now here is a really cool alternative method for clean pinstriping!

Using drafting tools and paints Rudy demonstrates a practical means for creating clean straight lines and precise geometric shapes with a number of line thicknesses.

My rental came with printouts which I took to the copy shop and duplicated for future reference.

Yes, you can use these techniques on your rod or kustom. I loaded my drafting pen with 1 Shot and went to work. The results are outstanding.

Discussion of pen sources and maintenance. Processes thoroughly explained, and well paced. Analog source.

The video is pretty good and very informative. About the same quality as Rudy's other videos. Some good design ideas come with it too so if you are a complete newbie it is very helpful.

Very good start for those of us that are not artistic.

This video is focused on making simple pinstripe ornaments as sometimes seen on antique machines or model engines. This is not pinstriping as done by custom painters on hot rods. Within that limited frame this video tells you what you need to know. Not a broad subject or a big tape, but it gets the job done.

Rudy demonstrates easy techniques with good results. Accompanying patterns show good basic design and layout and could be scaled up or down to accommodate any sized project.

Easy and straightforward. Better camera work/editing than some of his DVDs I've seen. No re-loops. Well worth it. You'll wonder why you couldn't have figured that out on your own...

Very informative if your going to pinstripe small engines and machined pieces. This DVD is for very specialized pinstriping.
