Welcome from up the road in Green Bay. There are several stripers on the board, myself included although I'm on the early end of the learning curve. Do a search for pinstriping and you'll find some good reads. Also, here's a few websites that may get the 1-Shot flowing:

http://www.pinheadlounge.com/
http://dorrskustomkreations.com/pinstriping.htm
http://www.kustompinstriping.com/
http://www.psychoarts.com/
http://s98005534.onlinehome.us/gallery/Pinstriping

Some of the artists on those pages are members here, I'll let them introduce themselves if they wish. Don't forget to check out the Friday Art Show!
