Frequently Asked Questions

1.Are you still Teaching Workshops?

Sorry to say no, however my workshops were filmed and put on VHS tapes. We now offer a flash drive with over 7 hours of information containing all 5 videos covering: Pinstriping, Lettering, Painting Mini Graphics, Gold leafing and some Airbrushing. I also include a updated sheet and my 20 steps to teaching yourself how to pinstripe. To see a promo on You tube see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CHZ0x9_hcA

2 Can I bring you a picture on my phone to show you what I want done?

Yes, but best bet is to email the image to me at bob@bobbondart.com

3. Do you do Tape or painted on striping?

We do only old school painted-on pinstriping using the finest quality enamel available. Mostly executed freehand and sometimes done using a stencil type tape when doing thicker lines.

4. How much does it cost to get my car or motorcycle pinstriped?

I usually ask the question, do you want it simple, medium or fancy?,A simple job, few designs or lines here and there would cost $50-$100. A medium job would run from $100-$175 and a more detailed job could run from $200 and up depending upon how elaborate you want me to go.

5. Does it have to be clear coated?

The ultimate paint job is to have all the artwork, stripes or graphics underneath a layer of clear. However, ever since the first autos were adorned, all of the striping and artwork has been applied on top of the factory paint. So cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles can all have the decoration on top of the paint without needing to be clear coated and it will last for years.

6. Do I have to bring it to you or do you come to where the vehicle is?

I do not go mobile any longer.

7. Do I have to drop it off and leave it with you or can I wait for it to be done?

I must nowadays ask everyone to leave their projects with me You can drop off your project just about any time, call first 816-554-1800.

8. If I leave it with you will it be kept inside?

I always plan ahead and keep all vehicles inside. I can assure you, your vehicle or project is safe and secure here.

9. Do you do Vinyl lettering as well as Paint?

Yes, we do both. We have the equipment to cut and the ability to install vinyl lettering. Or it can be painted on to look as crisp and accurate as vinyl.

10. Do you do window tinting or complete paint jobs?

Sorry, no window tinting, side molding or trim. We do not have a spray booth, so we are unable to spray complete paint jobs, base coat or clear coating.

11. If I bring in a vehicle or project on a trailer, is there room for me to leave it there with you while you do my job?

Yes, we have plenty of room no matter how large your trailer may be.

13. How do I maintain my striping, lettering or artwork to stay looking new for years to come?

1)Always wait at least one week before washing, to let enamel dry thoroughly to cure. 2) Wash with mild soap and dry with chamois soft type towels. 3) Polish with Meguiar's #H7 Show Car Glaze. 4) Never pressure wash any type of artwork applied on top of the original finish.
