Yeah man my favorite movie too. Check it out, my wife and I took a road trip one weekend from Lake Havasu City AZ to the coast we went two hour out of our way to make my pilgrimage to the Kahiki Palms Motel. Also got to see Captain Spalding's gas station from "House of a 1000 corpses" it's in the same area.Gotta love Captain Spalding's fried chicken. Devils Rejects is a all time favorite. Love the graphics bud.
$2500!!! That is half the value of the bike.Thanks, I'm happy with the way it turned out. Had a deal with my daughter I picked the graphics she picked the color. The only say I had in the color was if it's going to be purple I wanted it dark it came out perfect.
Not too worried about the desert sun our bikes are kept in the garage when they're the road plus we take care of them. As for the price it's kind of expensive but a lot went into it. This was a candy so a light color paint was put down then the purple then the graphics and then the clear coats. This clear coat has pearl mixed in, in the sunlight it actually changes colors. Your looking at around $2500 you may be able to get it done cheaper but you know how it goes with custom work you get what you pay for.
Go to youtube and search "hydro dipping" ... one demo video better than any explanation we could write.That looks really really nice. But what's hydro dipping? To a clueless person like my I'm picturing the whole bike being lowered into a giant vat of paint.
I'm with you brother. If I had a couple grand to blow on motorcycles I would probably buy a fixer upper to tinker with. A sports bike, cruiser or bagger doesn't matter I've never met a bike I didn't like. I guess what I should have said was for the amount of work that went into this paint job your looking at around a couple grand, didn't say that's what I paid :thumbup: Sorry for beating around the bush but made a promise I would keep it to myself.Even more surprising to me then! I think I would have wrapped it instead.
yep, hydro dipping popular for guns as well. You can get at-home kits for smaller parts, but an entire fairing, tank and all the other peices, it will be cheaper than a paint job but require someone with a large facility and skills.I'm with you brother.
