Custom Motorcycle Paint Jobs

Custom motorcycle paint jobs can make your bike look amazing. However, outfits which attempt to do fine artwork in haste can often screw up your paint job, or worse, damage your equipment. We here at Bad Ass Paint have 60 years combined experience working with custom motorcycle paint jobs. We have the equipment and the know-how to get your job done right.

What distinguishes our custom motorcycle paint jobs from those performed by less experienced companies? We pride ourselves on careful craftsmanship. Not only do we have many awesome in-stock designs--such as flames, skulls, beautiful girls, and the like--but we also have the ability to take your personal designs and incorporate them into the artwork.

Durable Custom Motorcycle Paint Jobs
How does the paint job itself actually work? First, we sandblast the area to be painted. This is done to remove impurities that might otherwise contaminate the lacquer. When that's finished, we wash off the bike with soap and water to ensure a clean and ready surface. We then use an epoxy primer to set the metal for painting. If your sheet metal isn't up to grade, we will apply a primer to set it.

Then we add two more coats of clear to prep for the artwork. Believe it or not, once we do the paint job, we then add even more layers of lacquer to protect the artwork against environmental contamination. All in all, we add about eight layers of paint or primer to your bike to ensure that the fine artistic details of your custom paint job are preserved, regardless of how hard and fast you ride.

Custom Motorcycle Graphics

Custom motorcycle graphics allow you choose to fit your bike to your personality. For instance, if you're a real daredevil, you can custom paint your bike to express your lust for danger by adding a skull or some leaping flames. In addition, we here at Bad Ass Paint stand with you throughout the process to ensure that your custom motorcycle graphics are created precisely according to your specifications.

Although we have a slate of excellent artwork from which to choose, we are more than happy to assist you with unique and creative custom motorcycle graphics. The key to a good paint job is to take the time to set the artwork within a matrix of primers and lacquers. Other companies may promise you a quicker return, but it's unlikely that this fast work will stand the test of time.

Brilliant Custom Motorcycle Graphics
Another advantage of working with us is that we service bike enthusiasts from around the country. Some painting outfits will only deal with customers inside a small city radius. However, we encourage those across the country to try out our services. Our artwork has been featured on the covers of many motorcycle magazines, and our professionals are regularly called upon to do bike painting Q & As.

At the end of the day, a better paint job today will save you money over the long term. After all, if you're constantly retouching the paint job on your motorcycle, those costs really add up over the years. When you work with us, you're guaranteed a thorough job. In addition, since you're consulted at every stage along the process, you will definitely get the results you desire.

Custom Motorcycle Helmets

Custom motorcycle helmets don't just look good--they also protect against the violent elements when you're roaring down the freeway. With the advent of mandatory helmet laws in the United States, many old school biking enthusiasts were disappointed. While they conceded the necessity to safeguard against injuries, they worried that the addition of helmets to their ensembles might damage their street cred.

Fortunately, at Bad Ass Paint, we can make even workaday helmets exotic and unique. Our professionals are trained to take maximum care when designing and implementing your custom paint jobs. We learn exactly what you expect from the design before we start crafting your custom motorcycle helmets. We also keep you appraised of the process by sending you digital photographs during painting.

Unique Custom Motorcycle Helmets
If you want to go further, you might want to paint your entire bike to match your helmet motif. We can even install recessed LED tail lights. This process doesn't cost that much, and the end result looks great. Although we're happy to paint whatever you want, our artists are known for their exquisitely detailed skull paintings and Native American themed artwork.

We use the highest quality painting products, so you're ensured a smooth paint job which won't crack or buckle under extreme conditions. We encourage biking enthusiasts across the country to send us their helmets. Whereas many shops only deal with local clients, we want bike fans everywhere to experience the fine detail of our unique services.

Airbrushed Motorcycles

Airbrushed motorcycles look sleek and new, even if the parts underneath are not. Yet getting good service on airbrushed motorcycles requires that you do some of the leg work yourself. For instance, before you go to see a custom paint specialist, determine your budget and write down a comprehensive list of any flaws in your current bike, from paint chips to engineering issues.

The experts here at Bad Ass Paint can then develop a strategic plan to get your bike in optimum shape. We have a combined 60 years of experience servicing airbrushed motorcycles; we know the most the cutting-edge techniques, as well as the old tricks of the trade. Our work is regularly featured in biking magazines, and we paint bikes and parts for customers across the United States.

Sleek Airbrushed Motorcycles
We can't guarantee a timetable for fine tuned graphic work, however. After all, what's important in the process of airbrushing is detail. Other outfits that rush jobs inevitably create the conditions for future wear and tear. By adding eight coats of paint, primer, and lacquer--four before we add the artwork and four afterwards--we help protect your investment and ensure that you come back to us in the future.

We traffic in all kinds of bikes, whether they are Harley Davidsons or Hondas; we can even customize snowboards and jet skis. One of the ways in which we ensure quality control is by digitally sending pictures of bikes in progress to our customers. That way, we get regular feedback, and we're able to refine the paint job for optimal satisfaction.
