Re: The Pinstripe
In a former career, I did sign painting as a small part of my job. He is totally correct! I've tried my hand at pinstriping (out of necessity on signage). It is VERY difficult to have the precision that he has. I never got good enough to even consider striping a car. His work looked top notch. BTW, if you've every tried pinstriping...the 1 Shot paints are a must! They were great.

He says anyone could do it with practice. Yeah, right! I had to forget about being a brain surgeon because of a genetic tremor in the hands.
