Pat Needssome help please

Hi

I would like to buy Pinstriping Paints, so my question is :

-here, I have the choice between HOK and SIGN PAINTERS 1 SHOT.

Is there any probleme to clear with 2 parts clear over a pinstrip job done with SIGN PAINTERS 1 SHOT ( cleaner product is white-spirit, so i'm afraid of incompatibility with polyuretna clear?

HOK is 3X price from SIGN PAINTERS Stuff !!!

I want to buy also a XCALIBER brush, do i need only one size or is it better to get two ?

Thanks

Paint give Ultra Al a chance to read your question or PM him he's the pin stripe guy here maybe he can help you. Maybe Ryan or JBF can help you also. Sorry I haven't had time to teach myself to pin stripe.
I've only used One Shot once that was enough for me it's nasty stuff be sure to use it in a well vented area. I won't base with it , its just meant to do lettering actually.





Thanks don

But it seems there is no pinstriper there; Darla give me a answer and i think she's right. My problem is the time needs strip paint to dry, but with catalyst , should be ok.
I will order 1 colour with one brush and do tests by myself.

Another question about 1 shot base.

Someone ask me to paint a Electra in black with silver ghost flammes .
I'm asking myself if it is a good idea to use 1 shot black base coat (with catalyst) , or is it better to use uro black base coat, with a coat of G100 , and then paint the flammes. I've never used base coats catalyst and i don't know how it is , di we have to spray it like clear ?

ok

i've found the answer on a pinstriping website.

Clear over one shot? Yes. Just use One Shot Hardener instead of reducer.. Put hardener in a plastic cup. Pallet paint with hardener instead of reducerUse with your metallic gold and silver it helps the flow. Or you can also use house of color striping paint and also automotive base coat

Wipe mistakes? Use denatured alcohol it will wipe one shot and auto base coat off most surfaces without smears.Available at hardware stores or paint stores

Brush Storage? Clean brush out with mineral spirits.There are couple of ways you can store brushes

For mobile service. Get some black packing sponge. Cut slits in black packing sponge. Dunk brush in neatsfoot oil run through fingers remove excess oil.Shape brush so that it looks like the shape of a sword.You don't want the brush drooping over with oil .Place handle of the brush in the foam so that the hair is horizontal without touching anything.This is best if you have travel with your brushes. You don't want to let them get kinked.That can ruin your day
If you are in a shop or at a car show. Get a container that will hold mineral spirits something that has a top.Lay brushes in mineral spirits. This is for short term storage.Day or two .Long term store in neats foot oil. Remember to clean out oil before use

What brush? Mack Series 10 size #0 blue wrap ferrule.(Don't get it confused with a series 20 green wrapped ferrule. Series 20 is a touchup brush). Series 10 is a100% unmixed blue squirrel hair.Turns very well and will hold enough paint for long lines.Very good brush for beginners or Master stripers

PFUUUUHHHH, brush cost 12$ in USA , 30$ in Fance

Here in the US we call those bikes baggers
and yes way to many parts I stopped doing them for that reason
or if I do them it's no cheap.Keep us posted as to your progress I'm sure it will turn out great.

Marry Christmas to you and the family Pat in case I don't get a chance to say it later.
