Fw: [CR]Box Lining

> Hello,
>
> Check out Airbrush Action magazine at your local bookstore. They have a
> center section with a variety of video titles and books for sale that detail
> pinstriping and custom painting that could suit your needs.
>
> For pinstriping equipment, I found it easiest to use a Paasche FP 1/32" Flow
> pencil with a gravity cup (
> http://www.paascheairbrush.com/sprayers_and_guns.html ) that I picked up on
> ebay for $35. The flow pencil does not require you to mask off the lugs,
> depending on your skill level. I have found this is by far the easiest
> method for my pinstriping efforts.
>
> In general, the more complicated the lug design, the more difficult the
> pinstriping job. The trick is to make sure that your background color on
> the frame is preped and fully compatible with the pinstripe color your are
> applying to to prevent a chemical reaction. For example, enamel/enamel,
> laquer/laquer or laquer/enamel or enamel/urethane. (Try to stay with the
> same manufacturer and paint brand if possible) Be sure to thin the
> pinstripe paint enough so it will be easy to apply. Some people advocate
> using a artist paintbrush, but I always had problems with this (fat finger
> mistakes)...
