’67 Ford pickup back for Paint Touchups

In April 2016, we wrapped up the F-100 truck restoration and paint job. It was a big restoration that included a lot of rust repair and body work. We did repairs to the cab and chassis, but replaced the bed and most of the floor pans. It has come a long way from what it was when it came into the shop.

We can touch up existing paint jobs by taping off certain areas or possibly blending in the new paint with the old. This will depend on what the motorcycle parts are like and what the design is. If we can work with it, we will, like in this case. These bike parts were white with a custom grey water mark design with black accents on them, which the owner wanted to save. We didn't do the custom paint design. We just painted the white on all the parts so they were rid of all ...
