Nice paint. Are those taped or freehand pinstripes? Either way, it looks awesome.

How do you keep the overspray from getting on the appliances and drapes?
It just depends on what the customer wants to pay for . I usually use all PPG products. I done Spec Ops Sportster with Dupont Chroma Base its good stuff to.unk: Hey Captain, that looks pretty good in the pictures. What brand of paint do you use? later, Spurs
The silver is paint & the red is taped.

LMAO ! I have a good girlfriend lets me get away with sitting MC parts all over for a few days to get them out of my way in the shop.
Here is another Sportster I done. Had a lot of pearl in the orange that would not show up in pictures.
Kyle, you have done some good work! I bet you get some nibbles from posting. Good luck with future customers.

Thanks ! To be honest I dont push paint work any more. I make more money turning wrenches even though the satisfaction is not as good. I do mechanic work & it still looks the same & I do paint work & am am happy at the end result but in the end I have to do what makes money first.
Here is a Triumph I done the gold striping is paint not tape & also my first attempt at a face I done on one of my Max's

Kyle, that's some very nice work! But I gotta know.....is the rum behind the fuel tank for before or after you paint?!! JK, you have a real talent, and I'm gonna shoot you a pm about doing some paint for me!
LOL ! Rum is for after paint. I learned years ago not to paint while drinking. I thought some things looked good untill the next morning.:rofl_200:
Are you speaking of dating or painting? Just wondering.
Used to be both before I got attached. I used to be a little on the wild side . It took me a while to learn it was better off to take the girls to a hotel that way they did not know where you live & you could make a quick get away when the rum wore off.:rofl_200:
Lots of $ in Vero Beach. A bit sleepy as it's got a lot of mature residents w/$. They don't stay out too late partying.
If you had an overnight layover you could make a day trip to see those guys. I bet w/a bit of planning you would find yourself v entertained. From your avatar it looks like you may have something to do w/private aviation. Who doesn't like Gulfstreams, Lears, and Dassaults?
