Custom Paint Tips by NASH
Bodywork is Complete

Bodywork is complete and now we have decided to paint your bike with a black base coat, silver tribal graphics, and a red kandy stripe base the bike silver. Now, tape out our tribal design, masking what is to stay silver. We have to remember to mask where the red will go over silver too. Now we spray a black base coat and let dry. Day two, unmask where the red will be and leave the silver tribal masked up. All the black needs to be masked up leaving only a silver stripe, which will end as up our red kandy with ghosted skulls. First airbrush all the skulls with shades of black and gray over silver with subtle white highlights. When we’re happy with the way it looks we spray a red kandy (a transparent color) over the skulls.
Now the parts get a few good coats of clear. Day three, all the parts need to be color sanded with 600 grit papers. This will knock down paint lines and get rid of any orange peel. It also helps if any details need to be fixed. Next thing is to pinstripe the silver tribal graphics red.
Now, it gets the 3-d look with shadow and highlights. Be sure to use a light hand here, we are going for a realistic shadow. We are ready for final clear. A couple days after clear we will knock down the clear with 1500 and 2000 wet/dry sand paper. This ensures a smooth glass like finish and makes buffing easier. Now final buffing, assemble and ride.

Thanks and I look forward to painting your ride
