i do a bit of pin stripe in my spare time and so you guys dont waist your money dont bother with a 2 day course
it takes a lot longer than that to learn but i could teach basic skills via rad in a few hours. :daumenhoch:

the truth is that £380 a head is a f*ing rip off for something that is supposed to be fun free and a hobby to most
