After major damage, Macca wanted an enhanced Grim Reaper on the rear guard, new club logo on the tank over soft flames, all om a green Base
..So.. PPG Vibrance base, then silver flames under Vibrance pearl green.. all artwork in PPG opaques

Anthony is a Harley riding truckie who hunts and he wanted images of deer created out of the smoke from a cartridge shell..
So the tins were painted in PPG Vibrance red/gold pearl with the deer images done in PPG white and shells in colour

Oilskin base coat c/w stitching.. Visor made into Ned/s mask.. airbrushed scenes on tank sides.. Ned's portrait on front guard and tombstone on rear guard.. rebel flag on side panel

Shane wanted his two youngsters portraits on the fairing with "real flames" coming off the front, to show the passion he has for his family. I did the portraits in silvers and the flames just glow over the Cobalt Blue base colour. He loves it!!!!!
Since then have flamed the Bill Davidson autographed side panels

This Rotorua AC DC fan wanted the bike world to know of his passion for the Lads!!!
Auto Restorations (Rotorua) painted the amazing PPG Vibrance Candy red and I airbrushed all the AC DC images!!

Nick wanted tribal ghost flames on his Chop..colour had to be real dark plum ( black look till sunlight works the Plum flop with ghost flames appearing)... Beautiful PPG Vibrance colour by Auto Restorations, Rotorua.

Rod wanted a Maltese Cross with Skulls on his Harley V Rod tank skin.. also cleared with Harley matte clear. Here it is!!!

Airbrushed this Trike for the Lovely Kerry from Taupo NZ. She is nuts about Grey Wolves so that was the chosen theme.
Looking forward to taking pics of the finished machine soon.... Go well Kerry

Mike wanted really subtle but striking paint artwork. We decided to cobweb the bike and have Katipo (NZ Redback) spiders breeding on it. A guy is trapped inside the tank trying to get out through the web and large spiders on front and rear guards.

Herbie wanted a standout realfire look with flames coming from skull, skeletal hands holding aces on tank.
He also wanted skull and fire demons in flames on both guards.
Pics taken before clear, now look wicked with clear on! enjoy the ride Bro

Tony wanted his Harley Sportster to have a different look but relatively subtle and "old timey" with red scallops with white pinstriping.
His comments- "better than what I imagined"!!!!
Sorry about the raindrops on the tank and the deck reflection in photos
Thanks Tony, enjoy the rides!!

Mike asked me to do a portrait of him doing a "Powhiri" ( Maori Challange ) in front of the sacred Maori star group "Matariki" ( Pleadees )on the front guard of his newly built Trike, and to airbrush star images on the rear guards.
The seven stars in the group represent his seven children, and the powhiri is representative of the strength of his Maori cultural heritage.
The image of Mike is only about 100mm (4in)high so was quite a challenge, but a very satisfying one, for such a nice guy.

Tank and guards Base coats sprayed in DuPont Black with red pearl base by Craig 'Haggis O'hanlon.
All artwork - Eagle and 'realfire' all freehand and loose stencilling in my studio.
Stencil used for lettering - NO Stickers!!

Stutty has had this chopper for some years and is doing a total rebuild.
So he got my little bro Craig to spray the orange base colour and 'flake and then it came to me. He really wanted a retro look so we went for gold leaf pinstriping, something I used to do a lot of in the 1970's. It's a time involved process but the results are well worth it.
Hope you agree!!
