This furthered my desire to once again produce these specially designed and now extinct brushes which had become such a big part of my pinstiping at the Hot Rod Surf garage.  After extensive research and development we now offer this special brush for professional pinstripers, hot rod & motorcycle enthusiasts, and collectors. The Hot Rod Surf MWM Signature Series Pinstriping Brush™ features real squirrel hair from the Kazan region of Russia and a specially shaved German wood dowel handle making clocking (or centering of the brush line) after curved lines during freehand designs a snap.  The specially shaved handle also makes mirrored curved pinstriping designs quicker and easier.  The construction is a faithful reproduction of the brush that I have had and used professionally for almost a decade.  We at Hot Rod Surf are proud to introduce our new line of Hot Rod Surf Pinstriping brushes designed especially for traditional freehand pinstriping design.                                                                                      -Mark Whitney Mehran (MWM)                                                                            Hot Rod Surf founder and hot rod artist                                                                                                   April 2008     The MWM Signature Series Pinstriping Brush by Hot Rod Surf™ is a professional grade pinstriping brush featuring a German style wood handle, English brass pinched ferrule, and exotic rare Russian squirrel hair from Kazan.  Only the finest materials from around the world are used on this superiorly constructed brush specifically designed for traditional 1950’s style hot rod and motorcycle freehand pinstriping applications.  Size 0 features a specially contoured handle making clocking the brush quick and easy.
