Q - What all do you custom paint?

A - We specialize in Motorcycles, Cars, Trucks, Helmets & Guitars but can pretty much paint just about anything.  If it has a hard surface & paint will stick to it, then most likely we can paint it.  We also do signs, fine art on cavas.   Our Paint & Bodyshop can pretty much paint anything from Industrial applications to Show Quaility Custom Paint applications on bikes & autos.  Our Art Department can execute anything from Airbrushed Art on your motorcycle to Traditional Illustration services, Logo design & Commissioned Fine Art.

Q - How much does custom paint cost for a bike?

A - There are many factors that go into a quote, every situation is different. All quotes are given individually. Prices can run anywhere between $250 - to $2500.00 to add Accents or add Custom Airbrushed Art work to your existing paint.  Pricing can run between $600.00 to $5000.00 for Ground up Custom Paint work.  Prices are determined by type & quality of paint & materials used, hours of labor involved in the Paint & Body process, Amount of time involved in Art Design & Execution of any Airbrushing work.  The more intricate & detailed the design, the more labor time involved. 

Q - What about a pre-painted custom tank sets or other pre-painted parts?

A -  Over the years we started to do less & less pre-painted custom tank sets & parts.  Reason being, we wanted to focus more on individual jobs to our clients specifics.  Alot of times with pre-painted motorcycle sets, we will have the perfect art work or custom paint for the interested client but its on the wrong year or model or vise versa.  This proved to be an issue on concern because we like to keep our designs one off,  we don't really care too much to continualy duplicated designs.  Then it becomes not really a one of a kind.  Although, we will on very slim occasiions do a pre-painted set or part if we have an idea we have been wanting to do. 

Q - Is there a core charge or core set required on a pre-painted motorcycle sheet metal set?

A - If we do have a pre-painted Motorcycle Sheet metal set up for sale.  Individual information will be included in the description for that item, including whether or not a core set or core charge is required.

Q - Does my core set need to be in good shape? 

A - Yes, the core set must be in good shape with no dents.  But chips and scratches are acceptable. If your core set does have dings or dents you may be entitled to a partially core reimbursement. But please contact us on your individual situation before purchasing.

Q - Who is responsible for the shipping on my core set or on my motorcycle tins that I am wanting to have painted?

A - You are responsible for the shipping of your core set or motorcycle tins that you want painted.  It normally can run between $20 to $45 for shipping of a motorcyle tank.  It can run between $50 to $100 to ship a complete set of motorcycle tins depending on carrier, number of packages & insurance options.  Bikes with more parts such as side covers, saddle bags, fairings, tour packs, can run anywhere from $150 to $250 to ship.  Your sheet metal should be packed very well & securely to insure no damage is done during shipping, this can lead to addition repair cost.

Q - How much will it cost for custom paint on my car, truck or van?

A - Again, there are many factors that go into a quote, and every situation is different. Also, it depends whether we are just adding graphics & airbrushing to your existing paint or Just painting a portion of your vehicle or Completely painting the whole vehicle.  We can just sand a portion of your vehicle without harming the existing paint & add custom work to it.  This can run anywhere from $500 to $2000 depending on portion painted & time involve in Graphics or Airbrushing.  Complete custom paint can also run into the door jambs.  On average complete custom paint will run $2500.00 to $6500.00

Q - I can't afford a complete paint job on my Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Guitar, etc. but I want some custom paint.  Is there an alternative?

A - Yes, How about a hood mural, tailgate mural or a partial custom paint?  In addition if you auto has good existing paint, we can actually use it & apply some custom paint using it as the base.

A - Also, remember our payment plan is 50/50, 1/3rd or 100%.  Meaning 50% down on the start & 50% on completion or 1/3rd down, 1/3rd during & 1/3rd on completion or 100% on the start.  Choose which ever is more convenient for you.  So, if you don't have all the money, this will buy you alittle more time.

Q - How do I get a design for the graphic or mural for my custom paint? 

A - We like our clients to have as much of a hand in their New Custom Paint job as possible.  We like to here your thoughts, ideas & as much input as possible.  You can send us images, sketches, magazine clippings, photos of things you like that you find on the web, etc.  If you send us your idea we can work that design or use our artist talent to change it up to make it your own one of a kind design.  Our Artists can also design a one of a kind design or art specifically for you from scratch.  Although, we do have to charge for our time because it can involve quite a bit of time depending on the idea & detail desired.  So the more input you can offer the less it will cost.
