The Kustom Work, or actual the "Kustom Shop" is where I've been able to restore classics back to their original "state of being" or modify the crap out of something, just cause "cool" was the attempt, or to "go faster" was the need. I've been in the auto work and mod since 1994 by Publishing "Rod n'Racing Magazine" and then up till 09 publishing "the Southwest Motor Enthusiast News". I work now making more efficient use of natural and man made resources and... learning as much as I can!
So this old scoot was fun to paint. These Ducati's are one to be had for sure. Classic lines and styles of the Italian motorcycle architecture. I filmed and edited the video. I've known Craig, current owner, a few years now and he's quite an avid collector. He frequents the Mid America Auction particularly the one in Las Vegas every year in January. Notably one of the largest for the year of strictly Motorcycles of all years, makes and models. He ended up with two of these rather iconic and cool old Ducati's. The paint is Chroma Base DuPont with the colors best depicting and is as close to the original as can possibly be matched by a skilled paint mixing master. Not me actually. I layed down the paint but not after a butt load of sanding by Craig himself. Surface prep is 90% of the paint job in my book. Or damn close anyway. So here's the video that better depicts how well it came out.
