Re: How I pinstriped my 33 Tudor
I could never pinstripe the old skool way.... My hands have gotten way too shakey. What the doc calls 'essential tremors'. He said there are two types of shakey.... If a couple drinks makes it go away, then it's the good type. If those drinks have no effect, then I have to worry. Fortunately, my shakes are the former type. Still, I would never attempt to do something like that freehand. Your car and it's striping job look awesome!

Re: How I pinstriped my 33 Tudor
To keep from lifting the stripe gently pull the tape at low angle away and back. I use model car paint and use regular masking tape. Tape the car completely, cut the tape at each panel, use a striping brush, do one panel at a time, pull off the tape as soon as you stripe a panel before going to the next panel. Doing it that way the paint will flow and not leave a rough edge. Practice a little on something and you will see how it works.

Re: How I pinstriped my 33 Tudor
Old thread, but I will add some tips I did not see mentioned here from the good Dr. Any time you want to do pin stripe like here, or a line for change of color, you pull the stripe tape off rite after you are done spraying while the paint is still wet. BE CAREFUL !!! but that way the wet paint will ooze out a bit and not leave a sharp edge. looks almost like it was done with a brush, and after its dry, some rubbing compound will erase all the sharp edge left from the tape line. We have not heard from the doctor for a while, hope all is well

Re: How I pinstriped my 33 Tudor
I've pinstriped two cars with the Finesse Pinstriping tape a number of years ago and its a nice easy way to go. I used One Shot paint and a pinstriping brush. Spraying seems to me to be a lot of extra work. Almost any paint can be painted with a brush. One Shot paint is nice in that its easy to clean up with Varsol if you mess up and it won't damage your paint job.

Re: How I pinstriped my 33 Tudor
Earlier in this thread Manuel was asked if he was going to pin stripe the louvers on the hood. According to the '33-'34 assembly sketches in Ford's archives, pin striped hood louvers were specified for '34 deluxe passenger cars only. This is borne out by the many archives photos of both '33s and '34s, standard and deluxe examples, where hood pin stripes only appear on the '34 deluxe body type passenger cars.

Re: How I pinstriped my 33 Tudor
It's interesting to see old pinstripes on original cars. Thinking about the guy that ran down the line with a brush and on to the next.
Great method. Lot of car show pinstripe guys are at shows. How they make a living. Granted it is a lost art. |
