    well i'm an old custom painter . been at it for almost 40 years. you have to do some stripping almost daily to keep you edge.
    different colors have different pigments thus they " pull "different . too much reducer and you loose control of the brush. not enough and it will drag. this is the key to stripping. i use very little reducer. just enough to keep the brush fresh. when i was younger i rented a house and pinstripped everything. door jambs, ice box,stove. landlord got really po'ed but thought it was cool. spend your practice time on thinning. it is your biggest hurdle. hope this helps. i wish i had more time to stripe but i just have too many irons in the fire.
