The wife is getting Pissed

bigroar · 01-02-2010, 11:39 PM

So we tore apart the wifes ex 500 painted it and it did not turn out that great. took it to a paint shop here in Payette and the damn thing has been sitting there for months. We have basically preped the bike, did most of the sanding. The tank needs a little work with a little dent and other than that ready to paint. Its been there too damn long and the wife is getting mad that Im cruizin the busa and she is sitting at home. Here is the deal..... if anyone on here can paint let me know, show me some work and you can make yourself a couple bucks or does anyone on here have someone that we can take the parts to and have them do it.

Its getting frustrating at this point so Darrin if you can get the job done

we will pay someone else to do it. Call me, text me @ 208-740-4785 or email @ roryjekelly@hotmail.com and let me know. Thanks BRN

Pimpit · 01-03-2010, 02:40 AM

i have a frind that paints. he's pretty good too.

Waldo · 01-03-2010, 06:47 AM

try Matt. He got his done last summer and it looks great

Matt Thorntom at Parks Royal Bodyworks in downtown Boise has done several of my customs bikes, cars, and will be doing my next bit of paintwork in about a month. They are very good and offer VERY reasonable pricing. FWIW, good paintwork requires proffessionals.

THUMPER · 01-04-2010, 12:17 PM

my neighbor is a painter.. what kind of paint are you looking for? just something simple or a custom design job?

Waldo · 01-04-2010, 12:20 PM

I was referring to the Matt on this site

Well here are few of my bikes that Royal did for me over the years. I think a good paint job is very dependant upon a good paintbooth.

theduckllr · 01-05-2010, 12:38 AM

Thanks Katnip. Here's bonus shots. They did a really good job. With both bikes, you could damn near swim in the paint.

Hi bigroar, I paint, I have 20 yr's exp. in automotive collision refinishing. I can't do air brushing graphics but two tones and stripes are ok. been thinking of painting bikes on the side for some time now. I have pics of curb rash on my scooter that I fixed, I will re size and post them wen I git home from work. I will be glad to help you and your wife out. P.M. me if your interested and I will call you to talk in detail.

whitedevil · 01-05-2010, 08:29 AM

katnip · 01-05-2010, 01:42 PM

h2ographx is going to be painting my bike, they say they can have a full fairing bike out the door within 7 to 10 business days, price is right too...check um out or you can wait and see my bike

e11charlie · 01-05-2010, 02:40 PM

Kat: your not going the same route as Bailey? Bwhahahaha

Scooter: I wanna come check out your paint setup. I want you to paint the ZX6R if ya want. Id like to see some of your work. I dont think that Im going crazy with house of colors paints... I dont think.. Do you know how to do that base coat tinted with primer and pearls and clears with metal flakes.. So confusing to me..

cms1172 · 01-05-2010, 07:35 PM

Could set up the same situation for about the same price. Solids are easy, the dents are the hard part. Looks like there are a lot of us that could get the work done pretty easily. Email or PM if you need anything else.

katnip · 01-05-2010, 09:14 PM

No I'm not...I'm going with a different guy

Matt · 01-05-2010, 09:17 PM

Ya, the guy that did my paint at the end of this year moved out of town...
