“Do you paint motorcycles?” Why, yes, sometimes I do. Mostly I burn things. Sand them. Break them. Sand them. Did I mention sanding? Lots of that. Like, sh*tloads. And tape. Miles of it. And then, yes, painting. A small amount of that. Mostly though it’s everything else. The painting is the easy part. Here is some various stages of puzzling back together the remnants of destruction.

Speaking of wheels, here is another pair from a 1925 FN M50 project done a few years ago. These actually had to be redone recently because during installation it was discovered that some metal tubing was jammed into the inner lip preventing new tires from being mounted. So it was all removed and wheels stripped to be repainted. Finished a day before Mama Tried where it was put on display. Yep, these get painted fully assembled with hubs, spokes, etc. And yes, I almost had a stroke trying to get them painted properly with those hurdles. Don’t try this at home, kids.

I’ve been slacking on posts lately but looking through some pics of recent projects we have this Suzuki RG500 tank and some wheels. This tank had a lot of wear and tear, dents on all sides. By some stroke of luck the original decals were in good enough shape that I was able to repair them. So this tank has been restored with new paint and clear but all the decals are original. Sure, you can get some new decals that are reasonably close but original is original…

1994 ZX-7 restore in the books! Wrapped this one up last week. New decal set I’ve bit worked with before. Not going to lie, some were a bear to get on and others needed some finessing with paint. Did not expect some of the blue decals to be transparent but made them all work. These were put together from a larger pile of donor parts to be as new as can be.

What are you doing today, Jason? Oh, nothing special. Pinstriping wheels for a 1952 Vincent Black Shadow Series C. The black wheels with red pinstripes was a one year only offering. A little tricky hand striping with the hubs and spokes already assembled but that is the job! I may be a little cross-eyed for the rest of the day. Wrapping up the tank for this as well and off to be assembled by the talented crew at for a great customer.

Don’t get a lot of time to experiment but wanted to play around with some glow paints on a groundbreaker skeleton after adding some details to a 12ft skeleton last year. Did the same with this one and now I just need to figure out some cool UV lighting setups. Already thinking about next year…

I can’t tell if these look any good because I’m definitely blind now after all the masking. 1/16 black stripes with machined grooves. These were originally black powder or single stage with the machining done after paint. I can tell you 100% that it sounds like a much easier process! 🤣

Special Brembo calipers for a great customer whose 2024 Indian Challenger Elite got some paint and performance upgrades last year. Have a few other bits to finish up including some wheels before the Donnie Smith bike show coming up!

The slow descent into madness that mixing paint color matches can be, sometimes. Was not happy with original scan match with too much silver reflecting color differently in the sunlight so took it back to the can and started over. This one ended up being a jungle juice match that I sprayed some samples with. These will then in turn be used to generate a workable formula with new scans nut for now we have a color for this Ducati frame. Just need to adjust the satin sheen a bit.

Can’t say I’ve ever done 3 ZX-7R K sets on the trot before. It can just about do your head in but it was still a fun challenge. Glass, plastic and aluminum parts, all with damage to repair. No visible repairs on the plastics noses either, front or rear. Welded and repaired both sides. Better than new!

A couple of classic style Red Bull helmets for a longtime customer that were finished last year. First time doing a layout like this. These Alpinestars carbon helmets are pretty cool, too and exposed carbon was utilized in the design. I don’t do a lot of helmets these days, which is probably why I always seem to post them when I do! Customer messaged me recently and said he has his on his desk and he just likes to stare at it 😂

I’ve fallen behind, as usual, with posting! But new year, new goals and all that jazz. Here is the latest Drag Specialties catalog bike. Think this is the seventh one now. Lot of unseen work on this one but all turned out nice in the end! The blue looks even cooler in person. Love doing these, each one is a new challenge.
