New 2007 K-9 - Paint Question

[expy]

Dad just bought this geat K-9. No background info (used dealer). I cant find any information on the paint. Im pretty sure its factory but is it stenciled, free handed or what. Its a damn fine paint job whatever it is. This is one fine ridin machine. You cant keep me off this bike.

That is a cool lookin paint job for sure.

well is it yours?? did you take the plunge????? and oh fu##n nice

Maybe Airbrush ed can tell you more about the paint and if it's factory paint. He's an ex painter for BDM...The paint does look nice though...:2thumbs: Check out airbrush ed's treads on the site, he has mad skills... http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/paint-powdercoating/16154-grim-reaper-paint-job.html

What a nice guy:2thumbs:. The paint looks factory

 

[Biker Babe]

I don't believe Ed painted it but I bet he might know about it.

 

[airbrush-ed]

Paint is factory. Nope, I didn't do it. You guys don't recognize my style by now???

 

[Brew]

Oh, we know your work all to well, just thought this was one of those jobs that BDM limited your true skills on...

 

[airbrush-ed]

That job was done by a "kid" that had never picked up an airbrush before working at Bigdog. But somehow thought he was johnny-bad-ass with it!

 

[Brew]

Does he still work for BDM?

 

[airbrush-ed]

Nope! And (from what I hear) he doesn't airbrush anymore, imagine that.
There's only one airbrusher left at BDM. One of 3 people left in the whole paint shop.

There ya go.

airbrush-ed none better:2thumbs:

 

[Brew]

Wow, down to three in the paint shop. They can't be turning out too many bikes with a group of so few...

 

[PaulHart]

Ed I like your work but I got to say the paint on that bike looks good to me. Of course when I get around to you doing mine I don't want you slacking off because of my opinion.

 

[kfoss8]

The Red flames going thru it look stupid the background picture is cool though:2thumbs:

 

[Brew]

I think that's where the experience is lacking. I didn't want to mention it, just looked kind of different how it was done.

 

[expy]

Thanks. It actually looks really good in person. Maybe not a contest winner but this bike is going to get ridden hard and Dad gets a hella kick out of it.

That's both interesting and disturbing at the same time,they limit your creativity,yet they let someone with no exp.paint a bike………whose kid was he?
