Got myself a propper pinstripe-brush via prosign (http://www.prosign1.com/) and today i finally had some free time to try it. Boy does that make a difference! It's much easier to get thin lines. Simmetry is still al problem though, but then again it's all done freehand (still haven't found a pencil that works on slick black surfaces).

i doubt the paint will hold on the chrome
i might just respray the entire toolbox in black and start again
(it was full of scratches to begin with)

I decided to spray my toolbox black again, so i could try to pinstripe it a second time.
With the help of some pencil guidlines i was able to get a much more symetrical result.
The pencil i used is a "Stablio All", which works on most surfaces and it's not wax based so it won't react with the paint.
