YES!
In case you were wondering, you can use Rust-Oleum's Oil-Based Enamels to pinstripe your hot rod or motorcycle or furniture or christmas ornamanets or ... well you get the idea! Stripe anything!
Few tips to help you on your way.
#1- Proper tools - Rust-Oleum's Oil-Based Enamel, Odorless mineral spirits, palette (or magazine), Striping Brush
I used a scroll brush to get tighter lines and curves for the lettering. You can use a Sword striper when doing longer less twisty lines.
#2- Prep the brush.
Make sure the brush is properly oiled, cleaned with mineral spirits and trimmed (just clip the longest hairs)
#3- Practice holding the brush.
Use your palette or magazine as a practice surface to undertand the pressure and angles needed for the twist you will be applying. More pressure equals fatter lines and less pressure equals thinner lines.
#4- Prep the paint.
Deposit a small amount of paint on the magazine page. Tip the end of your brush in the mineral spirits and then mix into the small amount of paint on the magazine page to start to reduce the oil-based paint. Keep doing this until the brush slides smoothly through the paint with out any sticking. IF YOU REDUCE MORE THAN 10% YOU WILL NEED TO CLEAR COAT THE ENAMEL.
#5- Apply Design.
Make sure your surface is properly cleaned for paint. Draw or transfer the design or logo onto the surafce with a wax pencil or using a pounce powder.
#6- Stripe it
While continuing to palette your brush and making sure its properly reduced each time you palette, start to trace your design with the loaded brush that you continuously palette and reduce properly. If at any point in time your brush sticks to the surface your paint is too thick and needs to be reduced. If you feel the brush is too slippery when applying then the paint is too thin and needs to be thickened up.
Good Luck!
