I thought is was called "stippling" but I wasn't sure whether it had one P or two, so I just used "poking"! 
I think that Steve may have used the stippling "thumb-on-brush-makes-the-paint-fly-all over" method on that awesome metal building cold storage he built.
Let's see... colored pencils... RoseArt... I assume these are some cheapie map colors... can't imagine that I would have bought expensive ones.
Thank you Sir!
Back in the late 80s, we had a customer that did the die rolling method with the straight seam. That was pretty cool too, but it was only small pipe, up to 1 inch. Later we had a customer that made the cardboard tubes, they had two rolls of thin cardboard that went through a gluer and then around the mandril to make the tubes. On the steel pipe you mention, were there two steel coils feeding to the mandril? I assume there was, as one coil winding would be a lotta lotta pressure on the bending.
I definitely appreciate your efforts on my behalf!
More progress - these double bents are a pain in the rump! All the little cross pieces - and bents 4 and 5 have double rows of the cross pipes!

I waited in my truck for 45 minutes for this "Scattered Shower" to pass before giving up and taking a standing up bath with my clothes on!
