Re: Hand Painting the Royal Enfield
That looks fast to me, but I don't know shit about striping.
It's not that odd, England and (I'm assuming) India have had a long history... |

Re: Hand Painting the Royal Enfield
I don't know shit either, but I was amazed that a mass-production facility would have a lone guy striping by hand. I hope he's paid well, at least by Indian standards.

Re: Hand Painting the Royal Enfield
Finally...something Royal Enfield related!
You can see, at certain angles, that the tank has guide stripes laid down and he just goes over them with a bigger brush and a steady hand. Damn cool video.

Re: Hand Painting the Royal Enfield
Man... I could watch that over and over. Its strangely hypnotic. Notice how the striper is 100% focused on what he is doing. Its almost as if a gunfight could be going on around him and he would not even notice.
Aspirational.

Re: Hand Painting the Royal Enfield
That smile at the end, he knows he's the shit. Doesn't even change brushes to do the thin stripes...

Re: Hand Painting the Royal Enfield
He messed up on one part of the thinner stripe on the right side. You can see him look at it and grimace, but his mess up beats my best pinstripe job.
the guys in the back are prolly the two guys that put on the decals for the mass production jobs. Great video thanks!!
