Please refresh your page NOW to call up latest updates. 2. SCROLLS & SCRIPTS WIPEOUT TOOLS HAVE MOVED TO DIPPERS ETC Remember: when selecting your brushes, that the lower the size number the finer the lines to be produced. These brushes must always be oiled when stored and kept flat. I prefer to use neatsfoot oil which is a traditional pinstripers choice. Some books, written by professional stripers, tell you to trim the 'belly' out of the brush. Don't do it ! It destroys the paint holding capacity if you go too far. NOT for beginner.
The Long Bob This brush offering, is a modification of the Bobbo Super Quad. We are using the same mixture of hair that is offered in the Bobbo, which is a black synthetic and blue squirrel blend, but with extended hair lengths of 1 ¾" to 2". We have had great success with the Bobbo brush, and have had requests for a longer hair length version. We offer this brush in four different sizes which are 000, 00, 1, and 2. With the mixture of hair that is used, this provides medium versatility for enamels as well as urethanes without compromising performance. The smaller sizes offer intricate design work capabilities coupled with very tight cornering. As you progress to the higher sizes the brush will allow you to do longer line work with thicker consistent line quality. These brushes will offer the individual a high quality striper, outliner, and scroller. NB: 10/08/2011 : The manufacturer is currently quoting a 6 week delay on the availability of size #000 & #00
Mack 7800 Long Handle Bobbo
This is another development between Bobbo and Mack Brush Co. to bring to the pinstriper-artist a new brush to fulfill some of the difficult tasks of using a brush to it's fullest. This brush because of it's shorter bristles and fine blue squirrel & black synthetic hair makes scrolling easier and faster. It also pinstripes short lines, 2-4 feet in length without having to change brushes. Plus it will let you letter your signature very small and also do small script lettering. This brush has adequate snap and flexibility other brushes don't have. This allows the pinstriper/scroller to use one brush for four purposes without having to change brushes or color. The drawing to the left shows the correct position to hold the brush, 65-85 degrees and only using one fourth inch to only one half inch of the tip. Any deeper into the hairs will widen the lines and disfigure your artwork. Heavy pressure and lifting the brush as you drag your line will give a long teardrop effect.
Available is sizes #00, #0, #1, #2 IN STOCK NOW all £10 each
Kafka Short Stroke
Steve's new brush called the short stroke is designed the same as his signature #3 scroll brush. The hair and handle are just a little shorter. This thing is just awesome. It holds a lot of paint, will go on forever, will keep up to what ever speed you go and will do circles forever. He certainly has a winner here. It will even do long lines. why not check out the review by Nefarious in #21 Pinstriping & Kustom Graphics Magazine.
"The Virus"
The Jenson's Swirly Q brush is designed for scroll striping and script lettering with enamel based paints. Scroll striping requires thinner paint. If mineral spirits were to be used, the paint would run easier. I recommend using a slow drying automotive reducer (like the Oneshot High Temperature Reducer) for thinning enamel based paints. lean the brush thoroughly with reducer before and after each use. Never use lacquer thinner! Always store your brush in neatsfoot oil between uses. - Gary Jenson Both Sizes Have The Same Diameter. However The JS-1 is 1-7/16" Out and The JS-2 is 1-11/16" Out.
"Wizard
Vortex"
Available in 2 Sizes: WV-1 & WV-2 Wizard Vortex - “If you use scroll striping, you’ll love this brush! After 30 years of scrolling we’ve developed what I think is the finest brush available for this style. It gives beautiful controlled lines that respond exactly to your movements without the slightest hesitation, splitting or fraying in the turns. It holds its line throughout the pattern and gives you more response - like the most expensive brushes used for scrolling. I recommend this for beginners as well as seasoned veterans of this style.” —Steve Chaszeyka
"Wizard
Typhoon"
Available in 2 Sizes: WT-1 & WT-2 Available in 2 Sizes: WT-1 & WT-2 Wizard Typhoon - “Just a ‘hair’ faster than the Vortex, but with all the quality, this baby moves right along. As fast as you can think of a design, the typhoon seems to read your mind and anticipate your next move. The hair was chosen for quick response time and accurate placement on any surface. I especially like this brush for motorcycle work because of the curved surfaces and the brushes ‘forgiveness’ in tight turns. I am amazed at its performance every time I use it.” —Steve Chaszeyka
4 action brush This is yet another development from Mack this time with pinstriping guru Bobbo Dunn. A new brush to fulfil some of the difficult tasks of using a brush to its fullest. This brush because of its shorter bristles and fine blue squirrel and black synthetic mix, makes scrolling easier and faster. It also pinstripes short lines, 2-4 feet in length (!) without having to change brushes. Plus it will allow you to letter your signature very small and also do small script lettering.. The snap and flexibility of this brush should allow you to use the brush for up to four purposes without having to change brushes. You will need to hold the brush at approximately 65 - 85 degrees angle utilising the first 1/4" of the brush tip. Using more than 1/2" will widen your lines and disfigure your artwork. Heavy pressure and lifting will create the perfect teardrop effect.
