Frames.
Dual Suspension Frames.
Mountain bike frames are getting wild these days! With obscure angles, tight areas, & parts that need extra care; they can be a little more complex than their hardtail counterparts. Years of mechanic experience ensure that our team knows how to take care of your frame through the entire process.
Starting at $1,099
*Frame shown estimated at $2700
Hardtail Frames.
Hardtail frames make life for us painters a little less troublesome. They forego pivots, linkages & some of the things that add time to the painting process. That means their starting price is a little less!

Starting at $999

Helmets.
Full Face Helmets.
Full face helmets might be much smaller than a bike frame, but they bring their own set of challenges. Tons of venting, & often tight, sharp shapes, mean they take nearly as much work to paint as a dual suspension frame. On the bright side, the top & sides usually offer a perfect canvas for logos & custom art work!
Starting at $899
*Helmet shown estimated at $1900
Open Face Helmets.
Smaller again than their full face friends, open face & trail helmets boast incredible venting. This increases masking time & demands some clever meticulous focus to align designs.
Starting at $799
*Helmet shown estimated at $1500
Other Stuff.
Suspension Fork Lowers.
Fork lowers are a killer addition to any custom painted frame. They really “tie the whole design together”.
Starting at $499
*Fork shown estimated at $1300
The Process.
