Custom Paint Thread

[groundshock]

Is there such a thing?

Not looking for bomb-can jobs, looking for pics of high-quality custom paint jobs of all kinds.

Have bike ready for paint and looking to get ideas so i can buy paint on Friday.

Although this a custom v-twin link site, these pages may help.

Here are custom bike galleries:

Check out whats going on at http://www.kustomkulturelounge.com/forum/ Its provided me with alot of ideas and advice with painting my GK. I finished priming it last week and sprayed the background color ('06 Honda Steel Blue) yesterday. If the weather cooperates, I'll clear it today, wet sand and mask the flames in a few days and spray the primary color ('07 Toyota Sky blue pearl) over the weekend. Then I'll learn how to pinstripe before the final clearcoat. Lofty expectations but what the hey. Worth trying.
Good luck with your project and be thankful you don't have as many panels to paint as I do.

gloss black with blue, gold, and lavender metalic. I didn't want the lavender in it, but my painter did it anyway. It's growing on me, but I might repaint it without it. It looks dark purple in the sun, but black at night.

Do a search on airbrush forums or custom body work forums. The airbrush forums I peruse all have a section now devoted to bike and auto custom painting. These also lead to guys that do custom paint without the graphics, if thats what you mean by custom paint jobs.

Thanks for posting those links. I just joined the group so I can get some help with airbrushing. What a timely score!
