All,

I decided to pay a little extra and have my first machine pin-striped.  We have two in our local area. I was a hot day in the garage but it was a lot of fun to watch.

Artist: John Ybarra.

He is mostly known for pin striping classic cars, and other designs all created by him. 

I don't think he's really into raised lettering but he did a great job.  He started painting in Junior High School.

Cool video, I'd love to learn how to do that right...I was passed down a set of shaky hands in my family, so I don't think I could ever keep such precision.

It looks easy, but I cant come close to doing a decent job...I have a lot of respect for people that can do this.

How long did it take him to complete it?  I am trying to find someone to paint the embossed letters on a 56/81 as my painter openly admits that hand lettering falls outside his talent pool.  My wife swears she could do it, but for the sake of marital bliss,  I don't even want to think about going down that road.  Your video sure makes it look easy - I am sure it is not.  You cooler looks fantastic.

It took him about 3 hours.  Keep in mind there is a lot of embossed
lettering on the cooler.  Ther are 5 Coca Cola logos, plus the Have A Coke
on the lids.  The cost was $250.00 cash, as he was a friend.  He has
painting since he was in, middle school.  I asked him the difficulty and
he said it was a 8 out of 10.  He is really into pin striping cars, and custom art
work.  I don't think raised lettering realy excites him.

They do make vinyl logos via Funtronics you can use it as a reverse decal. 

Thanks, im very happy with how it turned out.

The cooler looks awesome! Great video. Was he ever like "stop looking over my shoulder!" I know when I draw, nothing is more nerve racking then someone staring at you, let alone recording it. He did a great job!

Thanks. 

I asked him if I could see video tape it and explained that I wanted to share it with the website.

For anybody interested in trying to practice a good book is a Speedball lettering book.   Its supposed
to train your hand over time to make even brush strokes.  As you notice he makes brush strokes
with the brush.  He uses a special brush made out blue squirrel hair they can hold a tremendous amount
paint.  As far as the paint, its a sign paint its a oil based paint.   This is used because its easy to wipe off in lieu of a mistake, and it doesn't dry as fast.  Other paints dry to fast, showing start and stop marks
in the lettering.

It was a good learning experience and totally worth it.
