LETTERPRESS RESTORATION: PAINT & PINSTRIPE



Day 3/Day 4


Day 3 was much like day 2, lost of cleaning/rust removal and painting all of the pieces! But day 4 meant pinstriping! A very daunting task, I'm a bit of a perfectionist so doing anything by hand for the first time is stressful. I was certain I would mess it up or it would look awful! Thankfully it turned out okay and I'm super happy about it! Find out tomorrow what it looks like...

 Look how tiny it is once we removed 90% of the parts! It could get even smaller but we didn't need to go any further. 





I used gold hobby paint, enamel so it will stick around for a while, and a squirrel hair pinstriping brush for clean, long lines!
