Experience
Over 25 years experience using various different paint lines and techniques. Added Edge
Attitude Custom Painting has an added edge over the competitor. Working 8 months full time with a programming firm (also doing up to 120 emails a day) located in Virginia gave me the knowledge of the importance of corresponding with our Attitude Custom Painting customers. From our beginning, we have *always* given our customers "Progress ReportThis is a special FREE service provided to you by Attitude Custom Painting when you get your custom paint job done by us. A Progress Report on sending you an email along with a set of photos letting you know on the progress of your job. This helps keep your mind at ease when we are doing your paint job. Usually these updates come within a week of total completion of your job. Trust Us...we know how it is to be on the other side of the fence! s" in which we keep you posted on how your job is coming by email by supplying you sets of photos and descriptions (we will send you at least two sets of updates with photos). We realize that doing business over the Internet is not always the easiest thing to do. This is *my* way of keeping you at ease, and keeping the suspense minimal. I'm sure your enjoy reading them as much as we do sending them to you. Website Updates -. Do *not* always trust a site that does not update it's content weekly or biweekly. The Attitude Custom Painting site is updated *daily* .
You never know if you are coming across a "middle man" or even someone pretending to be a custom painter. A perfect example is a guy in Longwood, Fl that actually stole a couple of images from this site and is pretending to be a custom painter. This is not the first time this has happened to me!!! Also be sure to be leery of a "free" website (geocities, yahoo, aol...). Photos-Photos, Photos, Photos...Just because you see a "cool" photo of a paint job on another site doesn't mean it looks great up close. You will notice throughout our site that you will see *very* close-up shots of our paint jobs. In fact, alot of these you will see quite a bit of the background in the reflection. Why do I do this...since you cannot be here in person, we figured we would show you the best possible photos. Why do we do this...

1) I want you to see the "perfect" reflection of the background. If you see any distortion of the background in any other photos shown on the Internet, specifically on the edges of the graphics, this means you will not only see, but you will feel the edge in the clear. You will *not* see *any* job go out of my shop feeling any of the edges.
2) Our close-up shots show you how "flat" the paint is, meaning, very little or no orange peel is on our paint jobs.

If you are shopping around on the Internet for a custom paint job, be sure and ask for a "close-up" shot of a job. When I mean close-up, the photo *must* be digital quality (not scanned) and be within about 12" away. See other shopping tips here.

Our Website

Our website contains the largest database of pics of custom paint jobs. We also have 8000+ pages listed on Google. We still maintain the largest custom painting website in the world. Our website is what other custom painters use to copy.
Other custom paint shops that have followed, have tried to emulate our complete business down to naming the sections of their sites...Samples of Work, Signature Sets (one copycat calls his Signature Effects). Another calls his sand and reclear the 'Double Dip', while ours is named 'Double Dose Double Dose This is our term we use when we are done with a job, we go ahead and resand the job flat, the reapply more clear. More info here Probably one of the most copied options we have on our site. I've seen it called, Double Shot, Double Dip, Glaze it up. Double Clear, Triple Clear (More than needed with todays clears!) '.

We've even had custom painters and ebayers use our pictures off our site, along with stealing our source code.

Most of these companies have only been in business less than 2 years!

Why go with a follower, when you can go with one of the original online motorcycle custom painting service?

These pictures show a perfect example of why you need to see close-ups if you are comparing custom paint shops.

Now look at this second picture... Note all the orange peel and the harsh edges. "Double Dose" - Here at Attitude Custom Painting, we offer you a "Double Dose" of clear. Most custom painters will do a graphic job, then put a "first" set of clearcoatGreat protection for your base paint. Yes, you need it. All my paint jobs have it. no worry about your "fades" fading away or your candies lighting up on you. s on the parts so they can wetsandPre-paint wetsanding is done as the final sand before actually applying sealer/paint and clearcoat. This helps give a 'finer' grit surface to paint over along with giving a cleaner surface since you are using water to wetsand, instead of the typical 'dry' sand. At our shop, we shy away from wetsanding before actually painting due to some areas of the surface being bare metal. If done after the spraying, the surface that would be wetsanded normally would be the final 'clearcoat'. This process will help flatten the paint job by eliminating any imperfections, any graphic edges along with orange peel. On paint jobs with thicker graphics, wetsanding may not eliminate ALL the edge on graphics or flames. Normally wetsanding before buffing is done with 1500 or 2000 grit (or both). the edges of the graphics. Though this is not bad, if you would like the Ultimate protection and the most "consistent" for your custom paint job, be sure and opt for our "Double Dose" option. When you request an estimate, this is not included in the price we give you. Please mention that you would like this option before we start on your job.

NOTE: The "Double Dose" is already included with all of our pre-painted Signature Sets.

Help
