Kafka Signature Series Scrollers

Designed by master pinstriping legend Steve Kafka, these brushes will unlock the mysteries of his style and enable the user to stripe curves as never before. These brushes turn corners with ease, flow striping enamels like no other brushes, and allow the user to do design work without the chance of “flare-out.” The sizes range from 0 through 6. They are all extremely versatile but could be considered specific relative to their size. The brushes are best used between 55 and 80 degrees to the surface of the work.

All Kafka signature series pinstriping brushes can turn corners without “flare-out” and without the user “rolling the brush”— just lift and work the tip for designs that usually take years to master. Works equally well with urethanes and oil-based enamels. Made by master brush makers to last and perform longer than any brush ... ever.

Size 0 — The size 0 brush is the smallest available. It's capable of turning very tight corners and very fine design work while still maintaining great line consistency due to the nature of design and combination of synthetic and natural hair.

Size 1 — The size 1 is slightly larger than the 0 and will perform the same as the 0 with a slightly heavier line. As with all the Kafka brushes, they perform with oil-based enamels as well as urethane striping paint.

Size 3 — The size 3 will work in a wide variety of applications from scroll striping to shorter, long-line designs. This brush will give the user greater control in all applications and flatten the learning curve for novice stripers. The size 3 is also the most used favorite of its designer, Steve Kafka.

Size 5 — The size 5, which is slightly larger than the size 3, holds more paint and will accomplish heavier designs with ease. Depending on pressure, the line thickness can reach 1/4" and fine lines to 1/16" in the other direction. This brush is a favorite for outlining larger flame layouts, cars, trucks, and semi trucks.

Size 6 — The size 6 will give you the heavier lines needed in many instances, but still can deliver delicate design work. It's used for initial layouts followed by smaller sizes for more delicate additions in beautiful combinations.

Kafka Signature Series Longliners

These brushes revolutionize the world of long-line pinstriping. They hold more paint and lay down consistent fine lines second to no other brushes. The hair is a blend of synthetic and natural fibers for superb feel and resiliency. Steve Kafka endorses these brushes with his signature on the handle.

This series of longliner brushes was designed to run consistent, long lines with greater line quality and control. The handles were left long so they may be trimmed to fit inside the web of your hand, or to use as they are. The longliner series has received incredible accolades from all of the top long-line pinstripers in the U.S. Comments like, "The best brush I've used in 35 years," and "All other brushes will be compared to this and not the other way around," are heard consistently. We proudly offer five sizes of these innovative brushes.

Size 5/0 — The 5/0 is the finest longliner brush available. It will lay pin lines for incredible distances with ease and beautiful line quality. It soon will become the standard for the fine line stripers everywhere.

Size 3/0 — The 3/0 will match any brush currently available for fine line work, but surpasses them all for durability, line quality, and control.

Size 00 — The 00 is probably favored for lines on most cars. Other brands of brushes include the size 00, but when you use our other sizes the reason for us making a variety becomes clear.

Size 0 — The size 0 brush performs all longliner functions as the size 1, just not as heavy. Synthetic and natural hairs are used for long life, line consistency, and control.

Size 1 — Size 1, the largest brush of this series, holds lots of paint and will do over a ¼" (6.4 mm) line with ease. It will also do fine lines with less pressure perfectly.
