I first picked up a brush in 1977 after attending the Haney Van Fair & having my van striped... When observing the striper at work I thought to myself "I can do it at least as good as he can"... On my return home I spoke with my neighbour Allen Dyck of Allen Signs in Vancouver, B.C... He gave me some pointers, an old Mack brush, and a couple of cans of "lead based" 1-Shot and away I went... Thanks for checking me out... later... Beast Lee... P.S. - More pics will be coming...
