Cool Custom Motorcycle Painting Ideas

 Motorcycles are more than a transportation vehicle. Aside from the fact that they will bring you from point A to B, they also offer you a chance to express yourself. Bikes are like a blank canvas. They can be decorated in any way you like. This includes tassels on the handle bars, and murals on the gas tank.

Once you have decided to spruce up your hog, start collecting ideas. You can study the bikes passing you by on road trips, browse through bike catalogues, watch motorcycle shows on TV, or do a search online. Many shops offering custom motorcycle painting will have pictures of their work posted on their website. Check them out. You will soon notice that there are three distinctive types of custom motorcycle painting.

1. Traditional - Certain styles are called 'traditional' because they have been around for a long time. Various pin stripes and flames belong in this category. Even if the flames are hand painted and have a 3-D effect, they will still be classified as traditional.

2. Detailed - Elaborate custom motorcycle painting is typically done by hand. This category includes graphic painting and air brushing. The detail on these designs is amazing and will attract a lot of attention when you are on the road. You personally can decide on the design, or you can leave it up to the artist to come up with a picture fitting your personality, as well as your bike.

3. Special paints - These custom motorcycle painting creations are different because of the paint used by the painter. Unusual paints are more expensive than regular automotive paint. For instance, chameleon paint changes color once it has been applied. It may look blue or green from one angle, and purple from another. The effect is super cool, but will cost extra. If you have the funds... why not?
