I
offer three great options to help you get your vintage bike
parts painted.
1) Custom Turn-Key Painting
using your parts
2) I sell you a kit that I
have in stock and you send me your parts as trade-in
3) I sell you the paint and
you do it yourself:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let
me answer the most common questions:
1) No, there is no such thing
as paint codes for the old bikes. Each of the colors I
sell have been carefully matched to original parts and the
formula's are carefully guarded secrets
2) I can't ship the paint
outside of the U.S. Sorry, but laws are laws. In
fact, I can only ship the paint via FedEx Ground. The
only option for outside of the U.S.A. is for you to ship
your parts to us and we will ship them back when completed.
3) I offer a service to
completely clean out your old tank and install a liner that
will last for many years. The typical cost of this is
between $85 - $100
4) Normal turnaround time
for paint jobs is 3 weeks. Add 1 week if the tank is
to be cleaned and lined
5) If some of your parts
are damaged beyond repair I do have an upcharge if they
cannot be saved
6) Pricing: Turn-key
paint jobs start at $800, Candy paint jobs start at $900.
7) We guarantee our work.
You won't find better quality anywhere.
8) We can facilitate the
shipping process both ways. Just box your parts, tell
us where FedEx Ground can pick them up and we will do the
rest.

Things to consider:
Are your side
covers cracked?
Does your
tank have pinholes that need to be welded?
Do you want
your decals cleared over?
Does your
tank need cleaned and lined?
Is your front
fender bent way out of shape?
Do you want
the decals on your side covers cleared over?
If so, we can fix these
things, but there may be an upcharge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Process for the
painting one of our Candy colored kits is as follows:
1) Strip everything to
bare metal or plastic and check for any pinholes and have
welded/patched as necessary.
2) Repair any dents, dings
etc. We pull large dents to minimize filler.
3) Heavy prime and sand.
4) Finish prime and sand.
5) Apply base coat
(silver, blue, white etc) with catalyst for under the Candy
color.
6) Apply enough coats of
the Candy color with catalyst to match original parts that
we have for examples. (Candy is transparent. Too many
coats and it gets too dark.
7) Apply clear coat with
catalyst.
8) Rub out - If there are
no stripes.
9) Scuff up the clear.
10) Layout stripe pattern
and paint. Or purchase decals if available.
11) Apply clear coat with
catalyst.
12) Final rub out.
13) We finish off the area
around the mouth of the tank with a two part epoxy that
seals the edge of the paint so that gas fumes or gas doesn't
get underneath and ruin a great paint job.
14) We let the parts set
in the open air for 2-3 days to let them 'gas-out'.
15) Wrap and package for
shipment or pickup.
