new paint... before and after

[Joshua_74]

So I wanted my bike painted before mission last thursday, close to a couple all nighters but we made it. probably the only supermoto in bc with flakes, not for everyone but I love that it's different. it was a nice change from the epoxy trial as topcoat as well.

Looks sick. Nice work!

Who painted it for you?

Looks great, but thats the last thing I'd want to spend money on if it was my supermoto.

Dude awesome.

What's 'The Shoppe'?

I think it is short for:
"The medecine shoppe"
The dude must be a pharmacist

thanks for the compliments everyone! the shoppe is a custom shop that myself and two partners started, primarily building custom cars. my first love is bikes so i've been trying to give them my attention. we did this paint job across three days (part of the reason i love bikes as projects is the fast turn around) i'm going to put together a paint thread and show all the steps start to finish, there are so many misconceptions about paint and bikes. "it won't stick" "why does it cost so much" "why does it take so long" are just a couple i hear over and over again. thanks again for all the kind words, this is truly one of the most rewarding parts of my job because at the end of the day this is my/my partners work.

That would be cool. If I want my bike painted and done well I will take it to someone who knows what they're doing, but at the same time I'm always interested in learning more about what's involved.

I like how your bike came out. The whole bike looks really clean.
