Pin striping is usually a freehand art form, but using a mechanical rest to steady your hand is an acceptable practice. A wooden dowel rod of 1/2" or better with a styrofoam or closed cell foam 'donut' on one end will allow you to rest your wrist and steady your hand above your work, yet provide you with the freedom of motion to draw your creations. Freehand pin strippers, generally, use their 'pinky' or thumb to gauge distance when pulling a line along a body line of a vehicle. We'll get into this more in the Technique section. | Pin striping is usually a freehand art form, but using a mechanical rest to steady your hand is an acceptable practice.

| + | A pounce wheel is used to make needle hole perforations in a mask that traces a form or design that you have rendered and it allows you to transfer that design to another area. After placing the mask down in another area, a talc bag is used to strike over the perforations, when the mask is removed; an outline of dots will be revealed to show your pattern. | ||
