Check out my New web site.............
Hey guys, just got my new web site up and running. Although the contact info isn't working yet, my email info is there under contact info., but the auto link isn't working yet. Check it out. The economy is forcing me to take my love of motorcycles to the next level. I do paint work, plus much more. I usually finance my bikes by painting on the side, but work is slow, and I have too much free time. Hopefully I can paint some stuff for some you guys. Thanks.
P.S.
tell me your opinion of the site. Maybe I can make some adjustments.....

i like the start, promising, but i would suggest testing it out on multiple browsers. I just opned it at work, we still use IE6 (Corporate, always last to upgrade) and almost nothing looks right. Does not align and some images missing.

How about more info about where you are? WTF is Polish Hill? City? State?
Also, some pics of where you paint and your setup. From the looks of this garage, I wouldn't want my bike painted there. So I'm assuming you've got a more permenant location/setup for paint work. Show off your professionalism, not your cluttered garage with projects all over the place.

imo,
shipping / packaging / color matching etc makes web painting difficult.
i've written a bunch of html & graphics / flash etc. and the first thing i always
tell someone is how difficult it is to make money from a website. it's a great supplement / resource for customers to see your work but don't expect the search engines to generate business.
like this post... network, network, network.
good luck

You can make money by website if you augment it with real service, and the professional atitude.
Take the guys suggestions open minded, and it will improve your site for sure.
That race hawk is pretty.

Yea, i am open minded. I updated some of the suggestions on the web site this morning that you guys had made. I will be posting some posting some better pictures soon, I have been polishing some foot controls, clutch, and hand brake levers, etc. for a Harley today. Will be posting some snaps of them before and after soon.

If I lived in the US, I would have some work for you, but alas...........
The engine cover polishing is what I want. That pukey green Honda colour ***** me right off.
I don't want to pinch any "trade secrets" but what was your procedure? I was thinking starting with 400 wet/dry then up to 1200 then metal polish and a buffer. Did you coat the covers with anything? How would a clear powdercoat go? How long did it take? Why do I ask so many questions?
I am planning on getting the headers and mid pipes ceramic coated so the bike will be off the road for about 3 weeks. I have already done the forks to a rough standard. It is possible to get the surface as smooth as chrome (small test area under the mudguard) but it takes a long time and you have to be very cautious.

Some pics of parts I just got done with today. Pics before and after. The road rash on the stator cover ( round one ) was pretty severe. I was able to get out the rash and polish it out. The clutch cover ( square ) had flaking chrome, which i removed all chrome, smoothed out the pitted surface, and polished out.
