I really liked this dvd and learned a lot from it. To me it is a perfect beginners introduction because it goes in a very logical order. It briefly covers the minimum equipment needed to start out and get your feet wet and start striping. Next it covers the basic shapes that need to be practiced. These shapes are a handful of simple patterns that can be put together to create your own style. Mind you these are not advanced techniques, but simple shapes all with the beginner in mind. But with these simple shapes, incredible striping can be done. That is what the rest of the video is about. Showing how Hot Rod Surf uses these to create some awesome striping on a variety of cars, motorcycles, and more.

I learned a lot from this DVD. MWM breaks it down with informative basics that really improved my striping. It reminded me of the feeling of Von Dutch's and Ed Roth's freehand pinstriping with a cool do it yourself attitude. Lots of vintage steel and a bitchin soundtrack make this a must have for any pinstriper.

If you like original real steel hot rods and Harley Davidson motorcycles this technical guide gives you an action packed first hand look at what goes into 1950's hot rod style pinstriping design and application. Covers Pinstriping Tools, Freehand Pinstriping Designs, Brush Techniques, and real shop behind the scenes live professional pinstriping of a 1951 chop top Merc, 1990 Harley Davidson, 1930 Model A Coupe, 1947 Knucklehead, 1932 Ford Coupe, motorcycle helmets, and more. Check out the movie that has inspired a whole new generation of pinstripers. Shows you everything you need to get started on your own pinstriping adventure.

This product was absolutely horrible. My husband has gotten into pinstriping and so I got him this video to help him lay down better lines. This video was made by an amateur who doesn't even know how to pinstripe. When me and my husband sat down to watch it we actually just ended up laughing the whole time because we couldn't believe that this guy was serious. The guy in the video needs some lessons in pinstriping. He had a shaky hand, did not lay down straight lines, and his lines never connected (a no-no in pinstriping.)Also his designs were never symmetrical. A five year old could have done what he did. I have never seen anyone use as many dots in their pinstriping as he does. We know a few good pinstripers like Von Hot Rod who would be a much better candidate to learn from. My honest opinion do not buy this video it is a waste of money and won't teach you the correct way to pinstripe.
