Alright, we've got some catchin up to do....

Howd'y folks! I've let myself get behind on the blog stuff... so were gonna play a little catch up here. From where i left off... I was working on a set of motorcycle parts that were painted black with red inserts by a guy named Phil. The request was something new for me... but I love a new challenge. The stripe was to go around the outside of the red insert leaving a gap in between it and the gold stripe as wide as the stripe itself. Essentially, what is called a floating stripe. It doesn't actually 'contact' or outline the 2 colors. Gold is high contrast to black... and the lines had to be as right on as possible. Each piece got easier and faster. It was a lot of fun and it came out really well for having been pulled free hand with a paint brush. Next up was what is being referred to as 'the golf cart incindent'. The cart was to be painted to match the Ferrari F430 Challenge that i repainted at the end of last year. The cart was pretty well... used, shall we say. I took it petty far apart... fixed lots and lots of golf course damage... primed, preped, painted, wet sanded and buffed (yes the golf cart), and reassembled it. Probably could have been done a bit faster if not for the numerous other things going on here... but still, it turned out flippin awesome. It was an expensive paint job too. Next up was the red Cafe tail I started on a while ago. This guy was super patient, which was awesome. The weather's starting to break here so it needed to be finished so he could get back on his moto and go. I finished up the tail, repainted it red, and wet sanded and buffed it. Then i mounted the upholstery (that i made/stitched) carefully to the newly painted piece. And wa-la. Done. The guy super happy and now he can ride even more stylishly then he did before. Next up is the Cadillac... but that's for the next post...
