Joe, thanks for the pics and the info, I know you are pretty much the master builder and Sean is pretty much the paint wizard, you guys got an awesome partnership there and your quality is hard to beat man.
One thing I noticed on your site is, just an idea, how about a price sheet break down, in your free time of course (yea right), that way guys could get an idea of things that they could have shot, and maybe not even realized that was possible. Maybe that would create too many ifs/ors, problems, but might generate a ton more biz too. I'll be in touch later for more work,
Russ

Odd question, but I've been thinking about having the rims on my zx6 coated kawi green with white Kawasaki logos on the lip.

.

yes sir we can do that no problem, and we def have the Kawi green! here is a example of a decal used in powder
