Are $1500 spray guns nice? Hell yeah they are and I have many. Are they always necessary? Nope! I don't like running industrial single stage through my nice guns but you can get a nice finish with a $100 gun too which is what I use for these type of jobs.

More progress on this helmet. Woke up yesterday not being able to see out of my right eye which didn't help. #airbrush #artist #custompaint @createx_colors @iwata_airbrush

I've painted a lot of bike frames over the years so I'm going to post a few a week until I have them all on here. This customer wanted a sandhill crane theme on her OPEN Cycles U.P. #airbrush #artist #opencycle #gravelbike

In 2007 I quit my Manufacturing Engineering job to open my shop and paint full time. The economy tanked about the same time I got my shop set up in 2008. I shut it down in 2013 after some good fun years with great customers and a great friend and business partner. I painted sports logos for eight years and a bunch of bicycle frames. It's been one year today after I left my job at a Bicycle manufacturer to be back on my own. It has been a challenging year trying to regrow my customer base and losing my Dad last September really hit hard, still does. I really appreciate my past, present, and future customers. If you like my work I'd love if you share what I do and if you have a project you'd like done I'd love to do it for you. Here's to onward and upward!

TBT back to the Harley Paint Showdown 2011. One of bikes I enjoyed painting the most and the only time I won the Showdown with my American Flag panel. Miss the good times with all of the other painters.
