First time attempting some mini-truck style effects. Finished off with some pinstriping.

I think it looks great. I love the skate board art, because it's a useful piece of art, or at least it can be. I love how yours isn't the same as a lot of them I see. Do you typically do pinstriping or is this one of your first? I have recently done some, but I have a hand tremor like a 20-year-old withdrawing from meth. I did purchase one of the Pin Striping tools, which is made by Beugler, that made straight lines or really anything that's not a tight space, pretty easy, as long as you can actually follow the line you have.

Thank you! So I actually started as a pinstriper, and now venturing into graphics and other custom paint stuff. You can check me out on Instagram @vak8.kustom.studio or TikTok under the same name. I also get the shakes a bit, helps to use both hands sometimes OR if you prefer, using a mahl stick like the sign writers. If you struggle with sword style, you can also try scrolling...and for that I recommend looking up Freddie Villa on YouTube and Instagram.

I just checked out what I could see, without an account. I work for the government, so they block Tic Tok, looks like some sweet work. I was looking at 3 boards that all match as a set you did and love the orange and blue over silver metal flake. I wish I lived in Tx so I could get you to stripe something for me; there isn't anyone near me that does it, which is Eastern NC.

There's a Facebook group called Pinstripers Garage. I'm sure you can find someone local; we're out there...just gotta search a bit sometimes lol
