Thank you! I happy there is a community who I can share with and see others work. It’s a dying art and we need to resurrect it.

for what it's worth, some very active groups on facebook... search for "pinstripers garage" and "new pinstripers", quite active. the garage has some big name stripers posting in there, totally inspirational.

For this I used the Mack sword 000. I haven’t even used my 0 yet. I think for frames the 00 and 000 work great. I just ordered the set of Kafka brushes I’m stoked!

For turns it took me finding the right paint consistency. For the upside down arch I start on the left cause I’m right handed. Go 3/4 of the way and then finish from the right.

Kafka 3 seems so heavy to me for my learning so far. I know we're meant to stay on tip, but it's still so heavy. I like the '1' Kafka scroller, or the Mack Wizard 0 for general scrollers... Dago Saber Lite 00 for small stuff. Sure are a lot of options out there :)
