I specialize in free hand, automotive, motorcyle,helmets, and art work pinstriping.
I have a formal background in art and design which I carry over into my pinstriping. Have been pinstriping automobiles and motorcycles since the mid 1970's, (I started out with vinyl striping, but later saw the light and"graduated" to automotive enamel paint.)
While I can pinstripe and gold or silver leaf any design, I tend to prefer "Von Dutch" style or dagger style rather than the flowery low rider style.
Influences
Kenneth Howard "Von Dutch", Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Bobbo Dunn. These guys started the hot rod and motorcyle pinstriping trend in the 50's and much of their rolling art is still out on the streets today.
Pricing
While pricing can vary according to the size and complexity of the design, following are some general guidelines.
Intial set up/layout fee: $45.00. Large 2 color design like on the hood or trunk of an automobile: $55.00. Medium design like on a motorcyle tank: $45.00. Small design like on a fender: $35.00.
Gold and Silver Leaf prices vary due to the time and labor intensive leafing process.
Front and back pinstriped designs on helmets are usually about $45.00 plus set up fee of $20.00.
Location
I can travel anywhere in the Houston area or items can be shipped to me for striping.
Gift Ideas
Personal pinstriped items make great and unique gifts. Cigar humidors, motorcycle helmets, whiskey flasks, glass coffee tables, clocks, shoes,coffee cups, picture frames,shotguns, rifles. These all make off the wall gifts which will be treasured for many years to come.
