Dont know if any gives a rats ice but we did paint the feature bike in Biker Magazine this month. I forgot to post about this earlier this month. There are a few more days to grab it at the newsstand before the new issue comes out. It is a lace and stripe job under a custom SEM candy.
Its funny a few years ago all I wanted was a cover bike. A few years back we stopped painting bikes and started only painting helmets. I still paint bikes for my buddies and high profile projects that I can get into. Its like when I do a bike or a race car it is for the fun of it or a hobby. We focus on the helmets and nothing is more important than the helmet work. It is our number one priority but it is cool to see our fun work make the magazines and get a little recognition. I also love telling the guys that tried to take advantage of me when I first started that we dont paint bikes after they see my work win a show or make a magazine.

Nice job Ryan.
But if were REALLY good, they would have had you paint her to match.... Posted by Deb Fowler (Member # 1039) on :
Hey Ryan, That's quite an accomplishment, cuz your work is always so unique-you do a nice job! I bet that chick is really proud to be on such-a-good-looking bike too. (chuckles). (Do you hand cut the designs in the masking?)or is that a trade secret that I shouldn't ask?
