Pinstriping

Stripe painting - striping - is a form of vehicle decoration as old as the vehicles themselves, but its popularity has risen very high in recent years among hot rod, custom car, motorcycle and restoration builders. Craftsmanship does not require large investments, only time and enthusiasm.

Pekka "Wizzard" Mannermaa is one of Europe's most famous stripers. His 25 years of experience as a teacher and artist in the field have been condensed into this guide.

The primary purpose of the book is not to put its author on a marble pedestal and present his special skills, but the goal is to eliminate the unnecessary mystique around strip painting and to break down the technique of painting into an illustrative and easily understandable form, without forgetting mistakes. At the same time, the door also opens for the reader to the world of striping, which involves much more than drawing a line.
