Pinstriping tutorial - Part one - the very basics of PInstriping.
I tried to cover the fundemental issues about starting the pinstriping journey. The video is a little long, but we covered a lot of stuff today.
Next videos we focus on mainly technics and design build.
Any questions so far?

I like the 3 basic lines that you recommend.I will work the lines to death.Thanks great video.I will be looking at your videos for more how to thanks.
Glad you like them! Plenty more on mu chanel.
Thankyou for your film. I have learnt so much about this subject. I want to add some fine lines to my steam loco and now I feel more confident in trying this.
Absolutely bloody fascinating. I love this video!
delboy said you were good, thats bloody brilliant. made to look so simple.
It is simple John...just need to practice a little ;)
Damn man. I subscribed to your channel before the intro video was even finished. Your "start here" approach is excellent, vs. everyone else with the big elaborate jobs and us beginners getting lost and struggling to follow within the first 5 minutes. You earned that beer brother. Now, I'm heading out to the garage. Cheers!
Glad to hear that bro. I'm trying to help where I can...
Nice one Mackie. Being artistic, I've always loved the 'finesse' of pinstriping. Cause I'm left handed is the reason I never tried it, of you get me. I know what I'm gonna be watching this morning though. Cheers. Al.
Brought my Mack brushes and One Shot a couple of weeks ago - this is absolutely perfect as an intro to striping. Excellent Mackie, will watch your channel with great interest. Nice to see Dels comments below too - one master to another! Cheers!
M E nice one! glad to hear that and good luck with it. any questions just shout!
Thank You very much for your video. It goes through all the steps for someone like me who love this Art, but did not know how to start. Thanks
AMIR AMIR that was the idea. I'm glad you like it. there are few more and few more on the way too.
Well, finally a tutorial - promises to be a good series - fingers crossed - cheers Mackie!
Thanks for your support brother! Much appreciated. Part 2 coming soon ...less talking more painting!
I am waiting!
Brilliant intro to pinstriping,loved it ☠️
Thanks for the knowledge !
Great Vid.buddy....Looking forward to the next of these tutorials....Love your work dude.
Thanks Paul, much appreciated. Next part coming soon, and there will be less talking and more painting hopefully ;) But I wanted to cover all the basics in part 1.
Really really good tutorial I love how you went into detail, not alot of people do that. I really appreciate it 🙌 I'll be using your advice for sure

Thanks for sharing. Seems that there are loads and loads of 'how to' stripe or scroll stripe online...but nothing current. They all are months and months or even years old.
It's always a pleasure to watch something more current.
Please continue with your videos...perhaps doing a job or some other techniques.
Tom McDaniel thanks Tom. i appreciate your comment. please check another episodes from this series, currently going through scrolls, and planning to do some more stuff man in near future. hope that helps!
Yep...I will be going through all of your posted videos. Great stuff so far. I am trying to get a hang on the scrolling stuff. Still have a bit of a struggle with design and trying to make something have that 'wow' effect.
Looking forward to all and anything you can share.
I am still in the early stages so anything to actually watch is always a real pleasure.
Good stuff .....
Tom McDaniel good to hear Tom. you are very welcome here...and just editing part7... basic scroll design. coming soon ;)
Great video! You have so much talent! KEEP up the great work! !☺👍👍👍👍
Thanks man
Just starting out, i have a lot to learn. thanks
Sonja Rowe I hope this and some of my other videos help a little.

Awesome, welcome and thank you!
Thanks for the advice! Great video 👍
Glad you lie it.
Thanks Mate, so informative
Glad you found it helpful mate!
A Master Class from the Master.... Im hooked already..!
Thanks man! Get practicing and you'll be a 'striper in no time! ;)
Ha ha yeah right, like playing guitar, you can practice chords for months, but if you dont have the talent.. you never make music... ill leave the talent to you, and keep with the hammers...lol Great to chat just now.. looking forward to Sunday video..!
I will do my best to show and explain in the next few videos how to build a design...so pretty much anybody can do it!
And yes, thanks for your call. Speak soon brother!
Very informative. Hard to get past the first 6 mins from the banging of the 1st Shot can lol but I appreciate your time making this video. I subscribed and am moving on to your next videos. Good job bro
Craig Varone thanks Craig. and yes, I'm new to making these videos, so still learning about audio decibel levels and exposure and all that. appreciate your comment. well noted.
Nice video you use one shot paint love the look of pinstripes on anything them fancy ones
Hi there Jeff, yes I am using 1shot. Thank you.
Outstanding tutorial!!
Glad you liked it!
Del sent me...I subscribed ..I will be watching all of your vids . The paint scheme for Dels bike is awesome
Fantastic to hear this. Many thanks for your support. Its great.
Hi MackieBass
Another sent by Del here. Subscribed and enjoying your style. Really nicely paced and explained tutorial. Looking forward to watching part 2.
Super talent you have!
christopher shirley hello, welcome and thank you. part 2 is now uploaded. hope you find it helpful. let me know.
hi there, great instructional video, very easy to learn from you, a bit like Del boy. 😀 👍 👍
Awesome man, welcome aboard!
great explanation. nice tutorial
Good to hear. Thank you.
Delboy sent me. Great work mate
Thanks Ricky, great to have you here. Hope you enjoy it.
Great video series! Thanks, man. I'm going to give this a try on my 69 Beetle. After some practice. :-)
Tucker Amidon thanks brother. yes, practice some under your belt before you unleash your talents on any of your goods ;)
liking these videos dude del boys garage recommended you
Thanks Robin, part 2 uploading now.
Great introduction video delivery of info is crystal clear!!!.....waiting for the post to bring supplies... any chance you are doing a hand lettering series?
I'm not the best letterhead out there I'm afraid...there are better people to paint letters than me, so I will leave it for them. Lines and scrolls I am confident with :)
Most important factor : paint consistency !
WIPING DOWN THE PLEXIGLASS OR PLASTIC WITH SOME ISOPROPYL , WILL KEEP THE STATIC ELECTRICITY FROM SUCKING THE PAINT FROM THE BRUSH , AND ITS GREAT FOR CLEANING UP LINES , BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAUSE THE PAINT TO BLEED LIKE REDUCERES .
Great video mate, thank you. PS, the phone number on your pallet cost me a bundle!
Good to know! LOL
Great instructional video, just curious what kind of paint you used to cover your practice slab. Cheers 🍻
I think it was just regular black spray can...left it to cure for a week or so.
Excellent tutorial; thank you for taking the trouble to help us beginners! A quick question if you have time.... I have a vintage bike tank that has been repainted in 2 pack and now I need to add some traditional pinstripe lines. Would you use one pack cellulose or One Shot enamel? Also would I ruin my brushes using cellulose?
You can clear over enamel paint only if you add paint hardener. It's all explained in my later tutorials.
Just noticed your drinking Fosters larger. Man, I've literally forgotten what it tasted like lol.
I could tell some interesting stories drinking ridiculous amounts of that larger in my younger days...
We no longer own the company (for those unknowing). So it was suprise seeing after all these years.
Stories with beer are always good stories :)
Found this today & this is such a superb video, Mate ! loved this totally ! I always was intrigued by pinstriping but never knew where to start! Would be binge watching your videos! What series from Mack do you recommend? I have seen Series 10, 20, 30, 70 etc etc. Very confusing!
Are you using a Series 10? What would be a good series/brush to begin with if practicing on a 12inch x 18inch panel ?
LoL. Watch all my pinstriping vids ad you'll find all the answers! If still in doubt let me know :)
Hi luv your vids when I get a chance to view.
Are u prepping the brush on the belly and back or on the sides?
Also do u need to clear coat that paint or is it weather proof enough without the topcoat. Cheers bro
I'm palleting juston teh sides and no clear coat needed my man. It's enamel so it's rock solid.
MackieBass
Cheers fella
Will keep my eye out for your clips.
Me too Delboy recommended you.
Welcome Trevor! Good to see you.
Fantastic job teaching folks on the how to basic's. I do the same on my channel on everything I do. Just getting started but There is not much I do not do myself.
With that being said, Delboy recommended you and your channel. I am going to be buying an replacement tank for the bike I am building (Eleanor) I have torn her down to the frame and have almost finished everything I want to do in stages.
Last stage is tank. Do you paint also, or just detail. When I can save the cash would you want to do this for me? I live in Texas, so of course would need to mail you the tank.
Thanks Freddie, yes, of course I paint the whole thing too. Get in touch when you are ready and we'll take it from there.
Fantastic, I am pricing tanks now, and will keep in touch. You can see the bike on my channel and when I get the tank I will have it there also for you to look at and get the image of what you want to do.
sounds good to me!
What is the thinner called you use in America? Mineral spirits?
SUPERJUSTY I think that's how they called, yes.
If you are using multiple colors with the same brush, do you have different cups of spirits ready so the old paint in the cup of spirits doesn't taint the clean brush or do you use the same cup of spirits even though it has remnants of different paints?
Same cups bro. It's all explained in my later videos about pinstriping :)
Got a question Mackie when you store your brush with oil and you clean the oil out in spirits do you discard that spirits or do you keep using that same jar to thin your paints and clean or do color changes as well? Or do you use different Jars with spirits? And if so does the oil mess with the paint any? It's something I didn't see you go over in your series. And was wondering. Keep up the good work !
Hey man. i usually work with 4 containers of white spirit - first wash (where I also wash the oil off), second wash, third wash - this is usually enough, but sometimes just to make sure I use 4th one to wash off all the residue and paint. I discard them by the end of the day usually, or when day get super polluted. Common sense really. Hope that helps buddy.
MackieBass it does make sense that's what I've been doing but when watching the videos it looks like you only have one jar of cleanup spirits and I'm thinking to myself how's that possible ? Lol most people I assume have at least 2. Thanks for your response.
It's only one cup for the purpose of the video, it just makes it easier...I think I'm explaining this somewhere down the line. However I will try to explain my "road" setup shortly on one of the next vids. Thanks for watching!
After striping for over 30 years now, found the faster I pull the lines, the more uniform they are. It comes with alot of practice of course. Using only the tip of the brush is the key. And DON'T use motor oil on your brushes! Use Olive oil to keep the brustles soft between jobs and rinse it off with thinner before striping.
Hey man, thanks for feedback and your comment. I used motor oil for years now (maybe not 30, but still) and never had a problem with it. Olive oil works just as well. And yes practice is the key as with everything. Best wishes.
Thank you it would help a lot but I wish you was talking a little louder in the beginning
I know, it was my first proper video with a really bad camera. It gets better later. Hope that helps.
Cool video. Cambridge UK or Cambridge Mass. USA? Which are you?
UK my brother. The "original" Cambridge ;)
Classic, my wife mentions the gentlemanly accent and then you pull out the titti mag to pallet with. Awesome 🤘
I am the perfect gentleman, yes I am ;)
Hi Mackie, got a question for you.. were your lines as crap as mine when you first started? I mean they are all over the place and like flaring out and moving around and... horrible... what were yours the first time you did anything with a pinstriping brush?
Oh yeah. All over the place - a day I realized it is not that easy. But keep at it man. There is no secret to it - practice. You will be amazed how quickly you can sharpen that skill. And most importantly - have fun with it. Don't try to make money on it - just enjoy it and itwill flow!
As a matter of fact I do not want to make money on it, all I want is to be able to pinstripe my bike at some point and go "look at it! LOOOOK AT IT! I (me?) made a thing!"... you know....... and then money will fall from the sky and I'll be invited to all of the parties..... (yeah right, I am not being serious here) :P
you know it man. All I meant is I know a lot of people who think they will buy a brush and within a week they can charge a fortune to pinstripe somebody's pride and joy - it doesn't work that way. I got into it becoause it is amazing artform and I do enjoy every single bit of it! Keep at it and you'll see imporvment really quickly!
hay what did you say that your practice panel was Ive been using glass and it sucks.
Glass striping sucks. I use aluminum or metal or plastic or else...not glass.
what do you use for clean the brush?
soldado mrvago it's all in this video bud. just watch it. all explained with great detail.
MackieBass i watch from 1 to 5 thanks for the sharing of your skills i will try to find your personal Facebook and add you as a friend
soldado mrvago good stuff. more to come.!
I bought a Mack brush believing to be the best, it lasted 20 mins. The whole brush came away from the wood. This has put me off buying Mack. Maybe I bought a bad one.
happened to me with a mack bobbo once. But only once.
Use a gloss paper so there is no drag on the paper.
Thanks
You use mineral spirits, Is turpentine ok?
Trupentine is probably not aggressive enough...never used it, but I don't thin kit will work as well.
ncredible!
I would like to learn and practice this art here in Brazil.
Question ... With just this brush model, would I be able to work well or need some more model?
google tradutor
Hi Samuel! Thanks forgetting in touch! this brush is a great brush! It will work well for straight lines, but if you want to do scrolls I recommend different brushes. Check out my part 4 - it's about brushes. Brushes are like motorcyles, you have racing bikes for tarmac, off road bikes for ...off road , touring bikes for...yes, touring... you get it, right? ;)
Iron maiden!!!
Hell yeah!
your holding your brush upside down.the bump goes on the right!
You think so? And what did I say at 16:30 ?
...and 8:35 ...
thanks but stop banging the fuckin tin...thanks.
gellum will try to keep that in mind for the future videos ;)
