Default Something a little different

A customer has a DSOM that he shows and went with a candy orange theme on all the stainless and chrome. Here are the caps. I etched them first and he sent to out to his powder coater that hit them with a candy orange. You can see the graphics through the candy and it looks really cool in person.



I will be making a LMB and a Monterey Red cap set using OEM finishes and silver metallic graphics. These will be very limited and may one make one of each set. Here is a set that was done in Precision Red. The possibilities are endless Link to see more
