Hello,
Thanks to all for the advice on painting MonoKote.
I once was a sign painter and did some auto pinstripping on occasion. I'm fairly comfortable at doing pinstripes freehand. We used enamel and were able to thin it so it would flow evenly and well. Sign or bulletin enamel has a very "wet" edge which reduces brush drag and skipping.
By doing the stripping freehand with a brush, I don't have to mask anything off. Saves a good deal of time.
I have used the "spay it in a lid" method with LusterKote but found the paint to be too thin for good brush work (other than small touch ups) and it dries too quickly in the brush.
I've also tried plastic, stick on stripes but don't like them too well. The stripes won't stay put when handled, especially on a hot day. Tried putting clear dope over the plastic stripes and found it took about three coats to keep them in place. Didn't make for a very "clean" job. Tried ironing on strips of clear MonoKote over the plastic stripes. Again, not too good looking.
I'll check out the Krylon Fusion. Maybe it comes in cans as well as spray? Probably not.
Oh well, sometimes part of the fun of doing this stuff is the search for the "perfect" solution. I'll keep trying.
Thanks again,
Joe
