Why get Custom Paint?

Why custom paint my bike?

No matter how expensive or top of the line your bike is, it has still come out of a factory which means there are many more either similar or exactly the same. If you lined up 5 bikes of the same make and model, 4 in manufacturer's paint schemes and 1 with a custom paint job, that one will be the one that stands out and the one that people are most interested in. Your bike should be a reflection of yourself and how you are different from the crowd. Custom paint is by far the best way to achieve this.


Why not spend my money on better wheels or chrome parts?

Because the paint is the most noticeable thing on a bike. If you change bits on your bike for custom parts it still doesn't really say anything about YOU. Custom parts are picked from a catologue range, you have a choice, you buy the one you like the best. But the part still wasn't made specifically for you, therefore may not be exactly what you wanted. It was simply the best of what was on offer.
Custom parts are usually made in a factory, therefore mass produced so anyone else can go out and buy exactly the same bits. Unless you are lucky enough to be able to afford one off hand made parts or build them yourself, although you've replaced some stock parts, your bike still isn't really custom. Custom paint is the only thing that gives you EXACTLY what you want.


Will custom paint de-value my bike?

No, but it does depend on the paint scheme you choose. For example if you had a Harley V-rod and had it painted pink with fairies on, when you come to sell it this scheme would put off a lot of other bikers looking to buy one. However it is possible to design a paint job which is unique for you but will have mass appeal when you come to sell it. In some cases it can even add value.


Isn't custom paint really expensive?

Not necessarily. If you are on a budget we can design the paint scheme with this in mind. A certain amount of the final cost will cover things like the prep, primer, laquer and polishing stages. These stages will cost the same no matter what the paint scheme is, as it's the same amount of work. Therefore the cost difference between a one colour paint job and a two colour paint job will be very small. In some cases an eye catching design can be done for little more than the cost of a one colour job. Only if you want detailed artwork will there be a noticable difference to the cost, but you'd be suprised what you can get for your money.
