pinstriping and my last helmet

[patoche]

Hi

Here some pictures of my last helmet. Done with gold satin pearls over orange base coat + orange kandy.
The pinstriping is the first one i put over a real job. Done not with pinstriping paints but base paint with retarder. I wasn't feel to buy pinstriping paints only for that. It takes longer time to do it because base paints dry fast, so i had to prepare new thin paint for each stroke , But it works.

Pat,
I love the base colors and striping colors you used. They look great together.
Feel free to check out some of the photos I have posted in the pinstriping forum to get more ideas. You are doing a very good job. Keep it up. That is the nicest colors I have seen in a long time too.

Thanks

I really like to practice pinstriping, i enjoy the feeling of concentration needeed to control the the sword brush.
When i do pinstriping , i feel like doing Yoga, control all my body , my breath, don't think about anything and hear nothing. Very stange feeling .
I don't feel like this when i airbrush , i listen music , can speak ,...... Maybe it's because i just start pinstriping 3 month ago.
