| 07 May 2007: Bug-in pinstriped panel |
I've finally managed to make some time free for some more pinstriping (i've been busy trying to sort my garden). I found this panel in Bug-In yellow, so i put their logo/cartoon in the middle and then some pinstriping around it

this time the theme is Tiki, so i gave it a try
www.ploon.nl/weblog/DSC01804.jpg |
| 03 December 2006: pinstriped caddy |
I've finally found some time to pick up my pinstripe brush. I've made a tiki panel for the sketchkult.com paneljam (i can't show it right now, as that's against the rules) and i've also made something which was heavily inspired by some work from "Wildman"

| 24 June 2006: Outlined flames - part 2 |
| Managed to finish the other side of the pickup. All the pinstripes around the flames are now on. I also cleaned out the lower locker. It's amazing how much stuff fits in there, so you can expect to find a lot of stuff in there that can be thrown away. I've now got some more room for camping gear |
| 20 June 2006: Outlined flames |
I managed to outline one side of flames on the pickup. It's a bit hard to pinstripe with non-enamel-paint, but i managed. I just hope the weather improves a bit so i can do the other side

| 10 April 2006: Elviki |
I saw this elvis/tiki design on a website and it was so cool i just had to try and copy it. So not my design, but the pinstriping around the edges is.

| 09 April 2006: Pinstriped tiles |
Spend saturday at a BIG vintage car/bike show in germany (Techno Classica in Essen). Lot's of nice cars on display and parts to buy. Almost no pinstriped cars out there. Just a few really old cars with the very early stuf (just straight lines to accentuate the shape of the car). I did manage to buy some 1-shot from a guy selling beugelers.
metallic silver and dark blue. so naturally i had to use them today.

| 06 April 2006: Finally another pinstriped panel |
it's been about 2 months since i last did some pinstriping, but last weekends volksworld show has really gotten me back into the striping mood
www.ploon.nl/weblog/DSC01162.JPG |
| 03 April 2006: VolksWorld Show |
visited the volksworld show over in london (uk) this weekend. it's a big VW show with all kind of aircooled VWs on display and lot's of trade stands. one of them was of prosign. neil was asked to do some talks on the pinstriping (a quick intro for general public). they were expecting about 2 dozen of people to show up for each session, but the ones on saturday both drew more then a 100 people!! neil realised that the people at the back would be able to see anything so he got us crazy enough to use our brushes in front of a big crowd. i hadn't held a brush for nearly 2 months, so i was a bit rusty. still good fun though.

| 28 January 2006: Lettering & striping |

| 18 January 2006: Fanhouse - fase 2 |
I laid down the yellow base for the pinstriped flames that will go on the pickup's new fanhouse
www.ploon.nl/weblog/dsc01014.jpg |
| 18 January 2006: Fanhouse - fase 3 |
I've just put down the black. the edges aren't very tight, but nothing i can't fix with the pinstriped outline (the last step in the process)
www.ploon.nl/weblog/DSC01016.jpg |
| 16 January 2006: Fanhouse - fase 1 |
The cooling tin for the pickup's new engine came back from the powdercoaters late last week. It's all bright red right now, but the fanhouse will get some pinstriped flames on it some time during the week. So stay tuned for some updates.

| 16 August 2005: Pinstripe fire extinguisher |
At the show in Bitburg i felt the need to lay down some lines and I realised that my fire extinguisher was still bare. So out came the pinstriping brush
www.ploon.nl/weblog/DSC00736.jpg |
| 28 April 2005: multi colored panel |
after i finished pinstriping them clogs last night (see below), i got all my new tins of paint open so i could add a bit of color to the tops of the tins (makes it so much easier to tell them apart).
whilst i had them open, i figured i'd used the bit of paint that was already on my brush, so i started doodling on a panel. in the end i like the design, but not the color combo.

| 22 April 2005: Bought some one-shot |
Cruised over to Lucjy Lenn's in Rotterdam to buy some One-Shot paint for my pinstriping. Nice people and some cool stuff they've got over there (hot rod, tiki, mooneyes, pinstripe, lowrider bikes).

| 10 February 2005: Pinstriped garbage-can |
Another pinstripe victim :-) |
| 07 February 2005: Pinstriped clock |
Bought myself a cheap clock on the weekend. Gave it a quick yellow basecoat with a spraycan and i then added some pinstriping. The big black element in the top center wasn't such a smart move though, as the dails of the clock are black as well. makes it a bit tricky to read the correct time :-)

| 21 December 2004: Flamed helmet - part 2 |
Another picture of the flamed and pinstriped helmet. |
| 21 December 2004: Flamed helmet |
I had an old helmet lying around, so i decided to use it to practise some flames with a pinstriped edge. |
| 12 December 2004: Pinstriped cookiejars |
Some more pinstriping today, this time I practised on some cookiejars. |
| 05 December 2004: Pinstriped snowboard |
I've just finished the pinstriping on the front of my snowboard. It's a mix of pinstriping and a split van cartoon
www.ploon.nl/weblog/ps.sb.front.jpg |
| 20 November 2004: pinstripe design for my snowboard |
I've made a test piece for the design i wana pinstripe on the tail of my snowboard. the yellow lines match the edges of my board (it has 3D design, so there are some more lines in there then you might expect). the board it's self is red with aluminium letters, so i figured a darker red and metallic silver paint would be nice and subtle. gona tweak the design a bit more, getting the symetrical bit right is still the thoughest.
www.ploon.nl/weblog/ps.snowbord.test.jpg |
| 10 October 2004: Pinstriped toolbox version 2 |
I decided to spray my toolbox black again, so i could try to pinstripe it a second time. With the help of some pencil guidlines i was able to get a much more symetrical result. The pencil i used is a "Stablio All", which works on most surfaces and it's not wax based so it won't react with the paint.
www.vwshows.info/weblog/toolbox.v2.jpg |
| 03 October 2004: Pinstriped toolbox |
Got myself a propper pinstripe-brush via prosign and today i finally had some free time to try it. Boy does that make a difference! It's much easier to get thin lines. Simmetry is still al problem though, but then again it's all done freehand (still haven't found a pencil that works on slick black surfaces). |
| 31 May 2004: Pinstriped the Radio Flyer |
I had my paints out to touch up some paint on the radio flyer (that's what you get for hauling part around), so i decided to add some pinstriping to to it |
| 06 April 2004: Pinstriped cooler! |
It's not entirely finished, but here are the first pics of my pinstriped cooler. It's the first thing i've ever pinstriped and i've been using the wrong brushes (can't buy them out here). The lines are not as narrow as i'd like them to be, but it's cool enough for now

| 29 March 2004: VolksWorld Show 2004 |
I've just returned from the VolksWorld Show, it truely is the world best indoor VW show! Check out www.vwshows.info for the pictures i've made.
If bought an ice chest at the show. After an hour with some soap, water & a spunge i can say that it's even better then i figured it was. The perfect start for a resto project, it will look pretty cool with some new paint/pinstriping |

I bought a bowlingpin light the other week in Utrecht and i added the stripes last night. I used a dark blue and white for the pinstripes. When you switch the light on, the whole color contrast changes!
