Pinstriping Don Wood’s Peterbilt
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
There are some opportunities that come your way once and then they’re gone. I have turned down offers to travel for pinstriping MANY times. (For one reason or another) When Don Wood of DSD Transport in Denmark, WI messaged me (multiple times I found out later?! 🤪) We discussed what vision he had in mind for this build.
Don’s 2023 build for the Mid America Trucking Show (aka M.A.T.S.) is definitely going to be a head-turner. He’s taking a brand-new semi and practically disassembling it to customize it in vintage styling. It’s a phenomenal concept to make something new appear vintage without over-doing it.
Don’s project sounded to me like a fantastic chance to bring my personal style of pinstriping to MATS and hopefully make this Peterbilt 389 more appealing to a potential buyer. Yes, as if the airing of this episode: it is for sale and will be debuted in Louisville, KY March 30th 2023at MATS.
In this vlog style video, you’ll travel with me from Minnesota to Wisconsin and during the weekend-long art project, see the transformation. Traditional hand painted pinstriping and lettering can make or break a truck and in Don’s own words, “It upped the level on this truck and trailer.” To me that’s mission accomplished. 👍🏽
I’ll demonstrate some of the tools and processes I use when pinstriping and lettering without getting too technical. If you’re interested in how-to videos, I do have some here in my channel, but there’s MANY more talented and experienced artists on KZread that have FANTASTIC how-to vids.
I use Alpha6 enamel paints and Mack brushes in all my work because I think they’re the best (but certainly not the only) option for what I do.
If you’re interested in learning more about this truck and purchasing it, contact Don or Crystal Wood at @welcometowoodville
Remember, I don’t see the comments here on KZread but if you’d like to interact with me directly, I’m on Instagram and flannel_phi...

doing some work for serious truck owners, well done
As a truckerof 40 plus years I've always liked this type of stuff great job
Phlip, you are a very talented artist! I absolutely love pistriping at the level of expertise you have. When I was in high school in the 70's custom pinstriping was the ultimate finishing touch on everything. I had a specil love for it on motorcycles with "candy" finishes and pinstripes that either blended in seamlessly with the paint or really stood out like silver on candy apple red. You are not only extremely talented, but also very humble and attentive to what your CLIENT wants. There is no room for error at the level of work you do. You don't get "do-overs" if you make a mistake on a vehicle that has taken years to get to the point to where it is ready for pinstripes. Your soft voice, pleasant personality, and attention to your clients' wishes make you an exceptional artist in the true sense of the word. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. This is the first video of yours that I have seen and I immediately subscribed to your channel. Best wishes for continued success, You do fantastic work which anyone would be proud of. Kindest regards from a super fan in Arkansas ! 😊❤
Right on!! Great to see your out there killing it with the brush.
Sweet Phillip! Love the old school look! You knew when a fleet or single truck owner took pride in thier rides was bye the pinstriping on them
Glad to hear another person that’s not on FB
That is absolutely astonishing.
Skills and Beautiful Work 😮
That is great work buddy. I would be nervous as hell when other people are around talking and carrying on. You definitely have a lot of talent. God bless keep up the good work
👋🏽 wow living the dream I remember you from the Kw sleeper build. Just subscribed ❤
Great stuff as always
Flannel Man , good work indeed my friend . The choice of colors with interior and the ol Cummins beige is brilliant. You do great work Brother. Thanks for sharing .
I would be SCARED mindless to own a Pete like that! I have a 99 freightshacker classic that's been in the shop for a month getting a new steer axle and springs and new hood because a Pam driver ran over the front end in a J parking lot! It would have killed me if my truck looked like that and the same thing happened!

👍👍!
Great freaking work fakkkk
How many hours roughly ,to do a job like that ? Great work Phillip
Nice clean work Philip! I'm just kind of getting into the whole striping world here and had a few questions.. I see you used the alphanamel paints. I actually picked some of them up also. 1 Do you prefer them to 1shot or do you use both? 2 what do you wipe the paint down with to prep it for striping? 3 what are you thinning your paint with? 4 what did you wipe off the design with that you didn't like? Thanks a bunch
👍🏻
✌️
That looks awesome, bud. Did you get a new van? I don't remember seeing that one in your fleet.
Back needed more.
Was he going for the old school look?
Well I know now not to FB message you when I need something...lol.
Please tell me that the stacks will be functional!!
Will you be down at MATS this year again?
You need to work on your layout and lettering. That comes with practice and years. Start making some pounce patterns you can use any fonts and blow them to size until you improve and create your own style, it will only make you look better. Just some advice from an old signdog. Keep on truckin!
not a big fan of that exhaust..... striping looks cool tho

Unfortunately you can’t run DEF trucks and have the stacks stay clean, they stain because of it. Once you get some of your rigs painted, you should find someone down there to do pinstriping on them!!!
