Laying Down the Foundation for this Custom Road Glide Paintjob
Ever wonder what goes into a truly custom motorcycle paint job? In this episode, we take you inside our paint booth with Raf, our head painter, as he begins the meticulous process of laying down the base coat for Kyle's performance Road Glide project. This isn't just any paint job; it's the foundation for a stunning custom design that's sure to turn heads.
From Formula to Finish: A Deep Dive into the Process
Raf starts by mixing a custom color formula, a process that involves precise measurements and years of experience. He walks us through the steps, explaining how he tweaks the factory formula to achieve the perfect shade. We even get to see the close call when he almost runs out of paint mid-mix! This attention to detail is what sets our custom paint jobs apart.
Mixing Paint is Just the Beginning
Before any color touches the bike parts, they undergo a rigorous cleaning process. Raf demonstrates his technique for wiping down the primed surfaces, carefully inspecting for any imperfections. He emphasizes the importance of this step, as any flaws will be magnified by the base coat.
New Challenges, Expert Solutions
This project features our brand new performance saddlebags, which present a unique challenge with their grooved design. Raf explains how he'll adjust his technique to ensure a flawless finish, highlighting his experience and adaptability.
