I do all of my own paint. The digital camo is actually vinyl vehicle wrap. The letters on the DT I cut using my vinyl cutter which was easy peasy, but the ST was a PITA trying to stretch and cut around the direct mount braze on. Everything was then matte clear coated twice. I think it came out good for my first try using vehicle wrap! Thanks for asking.

Thanks! The red ST frame now looks like this. Ferrari red ST but now with light blue instead of silver. Nice to be able repaint whenever I want to!

That's actually my road whip! Campy record 11, lugged with seatmast and the skinny s-bend 10mm stays with internal cable routing. I walked into the area with both bikes and saw DW and asked him if I could set this bike behind the curtain since the "new" builders are allowed to display one bike and I have entered this one for best road bike. He said " but wait new builders can only enter for best new builder judging". So I told him the NAHBS website allowed me to enter this judging! He looked puzzled didn't say much so later in the day a NAHBS volunteer came by requesting my entry. So there it is hanging in there with a tough crowd! Oh yeah, I'm bringing it to BALLERS!
Some Velo Urban love!

Wow dude!! On paper I would of never chose these colors, but on this whip you have executed them masterfully!! Keep it up.
Thanks Darrel! I executed the work but cannot take full credit. The customer and his girlfriend came up with the design and colors. Usually I will be given some color ideas and then asked to do something with it. This time was a lot easier!
Happy birthday dude!!
Went down to the bookstore and got the last issue!

Not so big deal to some, but a huge deal to me!
Was at Kroger over the weekend and had to go look myself, very cool, and congrads!
Wife graduates on Thursday...hopefully certified/licensed and employed by mid July, then I'll be getting a deposit in. Hopefully the wait isn't too terribly long by then ;)
Awesome scheme! May I ask how much weight does such a bright, apparently-thick paint add to the bare frame?
Headtube pannel reminds me of those german army vest so many people like to wear in the street. (me included)
Bike Rumor gave me some love! Check it...
