Yes but they're butterflies from outer space with gnarly teeth, metal wings and lazor beams shooting out of their eyes. :roll:

Poor Unicorn didnt know what was about to tear it to shreds. The horror, the horror.

I can honestly say that I've never painted a unicorn. I'd probably spontaneously combustion! Right now I'm painting a creepy little girl wearing a gas mask. Good times!

Alot of mass produced "custom paint jobs" are done with a super thin vinyl wrap. Alot of the Dogs have them done this way. It's the only way they can pump them out being all identical. They put the scheme down and then an airbrush guy comes in and dabs in some details, like little white spots on edges that need to be highlighted. and that makes the optical illusion that the whole job is done by hand. You can tell when something is truely custom, because it won't be duplicated exactly .

What are you trying to say...5K for the paint job and I think it's worth every penny. No reason to piss on my parade man :up:

Dude, you're asking how things are done. I was just trying to shed some light using the TOTALY wrong example. Because almost everyone on this post looked at it as me saying EVERY BIG DOG has some kinda cheap ass paint job on it. COMPLETELY MISREAD. I said "Alot of custom paint jobs"!! Meaning Alot of different companies. Not just one, I'm talking about helmet manufacturers and everybody in the mass produced "custom" field. Take Suzuki for example, the stripes that are IN the paint on their bikes aren't necessarily paint, alot of things like that are vinyl. HJC, Shoei etc, aren't air-brushing OR stenciling, those are wraps. The jobs that Ed and the other guys at BDM were over there doing paint every day. Like he said, they only did it on some, and that's the ONLY ones I was referring to.

I absolutely 100% agree with ED. I can do this because I worked alongside with him at Big Dog Motorcycles. In the graphic arts department there was only one attent at a vinyl water sticker. And it looks like junk and was not put into production.
