Magazine - Biker Journalen Nr. 5 - 2014

Lisbet´s long forked apehanger chopper, which i I pinstriped and made a leather seat for, a few years ago, with a motive inspired by one of her jewellery, is now featured in the latest issue of the Norwegian biker magazine Biker Journalen, both on the front page and a 5 pages article inside.. sweet!

Pinstriping & Leather Craft - 8th Baller

This is the last project my good friend Bønna bought and started to build, shortly before he was killed in an tragic motorcycle accident little over three years ago.. His good fellow club member in Høyangbjørn MC, Vidar took over the bike and built it like Bønna had planned, and I pinstriped it and made the leather solo seat as we talked about before he left us.. the bike was ready this summer and is now on the roads of the west coast of Norway..

Pinstriping & Gold Leaf - B1 rust bobber

It´s almost a little sad to let it go after putting so much work into it, but a happy customer, Roger Bach (B1) is on it´s way to Trondheim and Tor "Tarzan" Glørstad at Custom Speed will put it all together, and make it ready for the Road.. Kristian Sabel did the rust paint, and I made the custom leather seat, pinstriped and gold leafed it

Pinstripin, Gold Leaf, Lettering & Leather Craft

Jan Frode´s Iron Sportster chopper, which I pinstriped, gold leafed, painted a pinup on the gas tank and made a leatehr solo seat for is getting ready for the road.. Kristian Sabel painted the bike matte black.

Pinstriping - 1952 Ford Customline

Pinstriped yet another Ford Customline.. this is a 1952 model matte blac.. Pinstriping is a three colour, Dark Green (which was pretty diffecult to capture on photo), Sublime Green and Ivory, all 1-shot of course.

Pinstriping - 1953 Ford Customline

Jon Erik´s Ford Customline which I pinstriped last weekend..

Pinstriping - Cato´s V-Rod Muscle

Cato´s V-Rod Muscle which I pinstriped a few weeks ago and his cool dog.

Pinstriping Jon Erik´s matte blue 1953 Ford Customline, with three shades of blue on the hood and trunk.

Pinstriping - Harley V-Rod Muscle

Did a pinstriping yesterday on Cato´s Harley V-Rod Muscle "gas tank", even tho it´s not really a gas tank :-) The color combination is 1-shot Maroon red and Bright red.

Pinstriping & Gilding - The Pinball Bike

Gilding - "Little Bastard"

Kristians flaked Harley is done with clear..

Gilding & Lettering

More or less done with the outline and shadowing of the gold leaf on my friends Sportster gas tank..

For this one I used House of Kolor "Royal Blue" and "Process Blue". I dont think I´m going to use HOK much more again.. 1-shot enamel is more glossy, more pigment, it flows better, it doesn´t dry as fast and is a little cheaper.. :-)

Anyway, now it´s time for my friend Kristian Sabel to add the clear to make the flake pop..

Lettering - Betty Boom Boom

Started to do some lettering on my friends shotgun.. "Betty Boom Boom" as the shotgun is from his grandmother Betty.. it´ll be the only gun I´ll ever spill some paint on..

Durkopp Adler 291

Beside painting it, It´s pretty cool to sew pinstriping motives... The machine easily sews a couple of layers of thick veg tanned leather and it´s great for upholstery work too.. Guess a little nerdy, but this is very exciting :-) Lots of new opportunities is opening up with this machine..

1-shot pinstriping enamel

Finally 1-Shot pinstriping and lettering enamel has a dealer in Norway again! Ordered yesterday and the package was already at the post office today :-) Check out SCS Norway: https://www.facebook.com/ScsNorway or http://www.scs-norway.com for their 1-shot products.. Also, if you are interested in custom paint, they are a dealer of "Pinstriping & Custom Graphics Magazine". One of the better magazines out there of this kind.

Pinstriping & Gold Leaf - Åsmunds chopper

Åsmunds chopper which I pinstriped and gold leafed is starting to look like a real HotRod bike.. Kristian Sabel at KS Lakk painted the bike and flaked the flames.

Pinstriping - Gas tank & Widetire Fender

Done with the Gas tank & Widetire back Fender..

Pinstriping - Gas tank

The chopper which I pinstripe the flaked flame tank for.. today I´ll start on the back fender, which will fit a 300 wide tire. Next week I´ll do the front fender and oil tank.. the oil tank will also have the number "50" gold leafed on the side..

Pinstriping - Cross Helmet

In return for the Harley Davidson AMF Rapido gas tank I got, I pinstriped a pretty scratchy cross helmet for the owner.. you can see by the helmet, he´s an active driver :-)

Triumph Bobber - Pinstriping & Gold Leaf

"Jon 47"´s Triumph bobber, which I pinstriped and gold leafed earlier this year is getting close to be road ready.. unfortanly the winter is near, but I guess he´ll get an awesome autumn. Kristain Sabel from KS lakk did the great flake job!
