Beugler Pinstriping Tool I

The Beugler Pinstriping Tool makes pinstripe painting on vehicle or other surfaces extremely simple, and it is designed to be easy to use even by pinstripe novices. The Beugler pinstriping tool comes with a number of wheel heads for pinstriping various widths, ranging from delicate thin lines to broad strokes. The best pinstripe paint to be used with this tool is creamy consistency paint.

The Beugler striper consists of an apparatus with a wheel head that distributes paints evenly on any surface, including metal, glass, wood and cloth. It is non-pressurized and therefore safe, and because it does not rely on gravity for paint flow, it can be used to pinstripe in any position. Its wheel head design means that you do not need to use tape for clean edges, and with this tool you can say goodbye to vinyl tape or messy paint brushes. The Beugler pinstriping tool is renowned for its precision and ease of use.
Loading of the Beugler tool involves detaching the wheel head, pulling back the plunger, and pouring the paint from the can and into the tool. Once filling is complete, re-attach the wheel head, making sure that it is aligned with the guide bar. Holding the tool vertically, press the plunger upwards until you can see paint on the wheel. Wipe off any excess and you are ready to start striping!

To start, prime the Beugler striper by giving it a couple of short strokes on a practice surface, to coat the wheel with paint. Now, place the wheel firmly on the surface you wish to paint (making sure that the surface is thoroughly clean and free of any dust or greasy residue), and roll along the direction of the line you want to draw. To curve, simply twist the wrist. Speed of application is not important with this tool, as it has no effect on stripe size. If you want to taper the line, simple tilt the tool to its edge.

Note that the best way to hold the Beugler pinstriping tool is not like a pen but more like a utility knife with the fingers to the side. Keep your hands and wrist loose. When pushing the Beugler tool forward, use a steady motion. If you are drawing multiple lines, you can use the Beugler adjustable guide arms to ensure that the lines drawn are parallel. You do not have to use masking tape to achieve great results pinstriping with the Beugler tool, but if you are a beginner, it is probably a guide idea, especially if you re painting large vehicles.
