Started pinstriping in 2001. Wish I would have started in 1979 when I first saw it done by friend and mentor Jack Williams. Others who have helped me while I have been learning are awesome stripers Jeff "Styles", Ron Hernandez, Butch "Butch'r" Tucker, Pete "Hotdog" Finlin and Bugs just to name a few. Its a great little community, pinstripers. There is nothing that is safe from the striping brush. If you can hold it down long enough, it can be striped. You can never stop learning. Practice, practice, practice, the rides free, check all egos at the door.
