John,
You really do incredible work...
It looks awesome!!!

How long does a paint job like that typically take to complete?

Actually from what John and Paul were telling me, ALOT of it was prep work. I don't think the spraying takes John long at all. Just Paul had to do a buttload of prep work :laughing I remember this starting to happen like two weeks ago I think.

Tyler said it.. The prep is what takes the longest...

The spraying and masking, was like a 2 day job. But there was a lot of problems just getting to that point.. The people that painted the bike last time (prev owners), used some stuff on it that was really nasty, so we had to spend a lot of time just fixing that. At one point Paul just gave up on some of it, and said just paint it.

So in person, you can find a few spots that could have used a lot more prep work, but one person can only take so much, and paul was done with it.. lol

John
