    Random evo parts painted in the shop

    Authentic evo x Voltex lip painted in Octain blue



    A pair of rear Voltex style over fenders painted in Graphite Grey



    Authentic Do-Luck trunk evo 8/9 painted in Grigio Telesto.

    Wing holes and key hole are shaved.








    Not related to evos but I like how this dry carbon bike fork came out



    Some Colt Speed valve covers we did

    How hard is it to paint a used rear bumper flawlessly, with no orange peel, and without runs in the paint? I know a guy who paid $350 to have a used Evo bumper painted a different color (blue to white) and it still has hints of previous paint showing, as well as a run on the bottom lower of one of the sides... The painter redid it twice and it still looks like crap IMO. I guess the painter said he'd been painting for 15 years or something. What gives? Is that standard, like it's really hard to paint a plastic bumper perfectly, or did the painter just totally suck and this guy got ripped off?

    Its not hard at all, I mean we don't charge $350 to paint a bumper though probably why it wasn't a good job. NO it definitely is not the standard, the bumper more then likely wasn't preped right why the original paint is showing through. Yeah he probably wasn't a good painter if he was getting that many runs on a bumper...also you can fix runs which also kinda confuses me why he would let a bumper go to a customer like that.
