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.
