I wanted to share a few pictures of a new paint job I got in the other day, to fix another painters mess. This bike was painted by the one of the most expensive painters in my area. It was painted 3 years ago, and this guy is hard on his bike but the paint shouldn’t look this bad. Not sure what he charged for this paint job, but the guy who did this paint job usually won’t touch a bike for less than $5000. This shows you there are some really good painters out there that charge a lot of money but there are also some who charge a lot and have a crappy end product. Just because it is an expensive paint job doesn’t mean it is the best, always do a little research, check out past projects from the painter and even talk to someone who had there bike painted by the painter if possible.
He took this bike back to the painter and the painter wouldn’t fix it without charging full price for another paint job.

This is by no means saying all expensive painters are bad but be careful just because there is a high price tag doesn’t mean it’s the best. Bill has seen some of my work in person, just because I paint a little cheaper than some of the others doesn’t mean my work is of a lower quality. Here at Crazy Beavers Customs I try to give a high quality paint job with some of the best art work you will find at a reasonable price, without cutting any corners. I am able to do this because I am not in an expensive store front shop with several employees to watch over.
