Q - What all do you custom paint?

A - We paint motorcycles, cars, trucks, vans, helmets, guitars, signs, furniture, computer towers, laptop lids, fine art on canvas & anything else that has hard surface & paint will stick to.


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 $1000.00 to $5500.00.  You can have just the tank done or all the pieces.


Q - What about a pre-painted custom tank set?

A - Yes, you can buy a pre-painted custom tank set. And these are a great opportunity, because they cut down on your bikes down time.  Although, we spend the majority of our time painting specific jobs for individual clients.  We only do the pre-painted sets in our slow time, so they are very limited.


Q - Is there a core charge on a pre-painted custom tank set?

A - Yes, Normally there is a $400.00 to $600.00 core charge that may be already included in the price of the set.  Each set will list whether a core charge is included in the price or not.  You will receive a core charge refund upon our receiving & approval of your set.


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?

A - You are responsible for the shipping on your core set.  It normally runs between $25 to $120 for shipping.  Cores should be shipped in the boxes and packaging that you received your new set in. Although, they can be shipped in your boxes and packaging, if you are pre-sending in your core set. This is a good way to save on the core deposit, but must be packaged well!


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. 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 much is a hood mural or tailgate mural?

A - Normally it runs between $500 to $2200


Q - What about helmets? 

A - Yeah, we do them too!  On average they run $200 to $800 depending on the condition and style of the helmet, and the complexity of the design.

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

A - We try to help with the design as much as we can, if you have an idea in your head we can bring it to life.  If you need help, well that is what we're here for. Give us your ideas through sketches, pictures, magazine clippings, etc.


Q - How about down time?  How long will it take?

A - Every situation  is different, and it also depends on our work load.  Our pre-painted sets are great.  They are ready to ship, and you can ride your bike to the day that you receive your new custom painted set. A quick swap and your riding again.  Same on the pre-painted hood murals a quick swap and barely any down time.
