A special project for @barbaric_soul
With the recent passing of his father, he reached out to me asking if I could do a custom painted urn/ 2 mini urns. It’s an honor that I was able to do this for James and his family.

@outlaw_scumfuk spotted these tins on the floor of my shop in my story post today and asked if they were for sale. Sure, why not. So I decided to give them a new lease on life before going to their new home.
Wet sanding/Heavy Compounding/ Polishing.
These things were (are) still rough. However they will look perfect on a mean & dirty FX. They look waaaaay better than they did 5 hours ago. Scrapes/ gouges/ paint touch ups/ more runs than the NFL. Digging through my videos on my phone I realized now for the last 8 years I have enjoyed trying to save/bring back paintjobs. As much as I love being a custom painter, bringing someone else’s artwork back to life makes me happy. Maybe someday someone will do the same to one of my paint jobs.

Quick makeover on the daily.
Abyss Black base/ PPG orange metallic & Psycho shifty red flames.
I bought this bike from the original female owner in 2024. Rode it for a year, then @uncle_earrrl bought it from me. I did one of my first paint jobs on it. And Earl was STOKED to put it together. Unfortunately as a lot of you know, Earl passed last year shortly after the paint job was done. With some money borrowed I was able to buy everything back. The bike was in a torn apart state and had no clue what it needed. A bunch of work done, a quick hot rod paintjob. The bike took its first voyage today. Glad to have this one back in the stable. Still needs cleaned up, few more parts but I know Earl would be proud of it.

Runnin’ with the devil,
Story Below.
Paint set for @jakegeffen
• Wanted something classy, vibrant, with a geometric top panel.
This is by far my favorite set I have ever painted, execution and design wise. Thank you for the trust.
I have grown a lot in the last year with my paint work. I am truly proud that the hard work, long hours, dedication is paying off. Eric 7 years ago was a drunk and not doing anything with his life. Sober now, I would never expect to be where I am at today. Working for myself, doing what I love everyday, staying focused and avoiding bullshit. To all of my friends,family, supporters. You all make it possible. Thank you.
Want to send a special thanks to @mikeymachinepaints for all the help over the last year with painting. From spending a week with him to learn techniques, learning what products to use, to hours on the phone bullshitting about life and painting. Thank you.
Paint Information.
• Tropical Glitz/ Cosmic red textured base/ Cosmic black fades/ Comet silver ghost flames/ Custom Rose and silver top panel.

Very pleasing before and after, Enjoy the video. Wet sand/Paint correction Brought this original paint 1986 FXRD tank back to life for @jordanamstutz
As much as I love custom painting for a living, I love saving OEM paint just as much. This tank was in ROUGH shape. Remnants of old pin striping, touch ups, and 35+ years of road grime.
She’s got a few deep gouges,dings. However I’d like to think it is very presentable now.
Thanks for the support!

What an opportunity it was to do these 2 paint jobs. Both challenging in different ways. Happy to see the progression I’ve made since I started painting in February.
