Hairy Posted October 1, 2012 Share The problem is finding a great artist to do the works. I was searching for a street/graphiti artist to do a custom on my old Inbred SS, but ended up selling her before doing anything to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-Zulu Posted October 1, 2012 Share Hi Richard, I have a custom paint job on my Giant Anthem circa 2009, black with flames on the head and some more on the rear tri. I'll not advise a paint job rather powder coat (much more durable), but then you can't get the cool detail on...it blew a whole lot of new life into a beat up looking frame. Anyhow, my 2c's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
