I had this done last night by Charlie, aka One Armed Bandit. I'm really pleased.

Damn, that ain't no pinstriping, that's a paintbrush in his hand! (eekdance)

Normally I don’t like detailing like pinstriping, but that’s usually because it looks terrible. This looks eff’in hot! Please give him my props, amazing work.

If you get a chance, a full car shot would be welcome as well.

I'll get a full car shot soon as it's clean.

Thanks again. I wanted it to be wild but subtle. I think I pulled that off. I got the idea from the flat black hot rod they road tested in Car&Driver magazine last month. Soon as I saw the pinstripes on that car I knew I was getting them done on mine.

Add my congrats, I'm not fond of pinstripes (it is a kid thing, don't ask) but this one is very original.

One-Armed Bandit? but I see 2 arms (scratch). I'll report it to the Gaming Commission ;)

his right arm is a prosthetic. he was born without it. pretty amazing individual, not hampered one bit. he can even ride motorcycles.

^^ (chair) my bad, not meant to be offensive with my earlier post, I thought it was an art business named after the slot machine nickname ;)

But regardless, impressive indeed :D

Way to go CM5!

I gotta admit, I was wondering about the name, as the photo doesn't show any signs... I do have to admit that after seeing these, I'd never do a plain pinstripe. too bad this artist is cross-country from me though.
