great blog!! the paint youtube vid brings back memories for me. many many moons ago i worked for a man named arlen... :) i know how hard it is to spot repair metal and paint. you have made it look easy while showcasing how careful and clean will produce the best results. that bike turned out gorgeous.
Mr. M: As I've said before, you don't want me anywhere near a paint can and steel. But these two repair paint posts makes it look so easy. Of course it takes the hands of a master to pull it off and make it look this good. Great work!
Jocelyn, I used to paint for a living. Now just for side cash, and hobby. When I did it for a living, it became a job. Besides, I rarely got to do cool stuff. It was always the same three custom paint jobs on the same four kinds of chassis, in the same 3 color variations of each. I painted for a custom van and truck conversion center. Booring!!!! It wasn't till I started doing it for fun that I started getting cool jobs to do. I like the steady pay and benefits my insurance adjuster job affords me. Painting is a nice side deal though. Thanks!
I leave all artist work to the guys and gals who know and understand such things. I don't care how easy you make it look.
If you watched me tape and finish a room with my mechanical tools, I'm sure you it would pass your mind that you could do it as easily as me...then reality will set in...
That's why they pay us the big bucks, to make hard things look easy, look good, and be right the first time!
You go painter guy! I'd pay you to paint my stuff...yes I would!
Chessie, Thank you! And I agree totally. That's one of the reason's I pay a mechanic to fix my bike. It's not my profession. even though I'm mechanically inclined.
The money is nice, but it's a labor of love as well. I'm very inexpensive compared to most places because I work out of my home, and have no overhead, except materials, electricity, and gas to heat the garage. The tools were all paid for many years ago, and I'd pay my mortgage anyway. Thank you for the compliment!
