Each step takes artistic ability and the knowledge of the materials being used, knowing how to mix the paint, and the ability to prepare the job for the coating process. If the job involves working with a client out of state, and the client doesn’t have a concrete idea of what the paint will look like, if we have
it in stock, we are glad to spray up a sample and send it to them. Or we can lead them to a paint dealer near them to look at the color charts they have available. Once at the paint dealers you can look over color charts and if you find something you like, just tell us the code and we can get started on the project.
There is ALOT more involved than just “painting” the bike. Most people don’t realize this, and don’t even think about it when they get an estimate. It all starts with meeting the client or talking with them via email or phone. From there if sketches are required, we work together coming up with a design. As the work begins, progress shots are sent via email to keep you updated on your project. By this time there is usually quite a bit of time invested and we’re only at the beginning stages. Certain projects have taken up to 40 hours or more before we even touch any paint. There is usually sandblasting involved, sometimes body work, and the prep work as well. Not to mention the high cost of the paint and materials.
