I sent Spina the peanut tank for my K-Model a few years back. I had it painted solid black. I just wanted some green flames and a little striping. This is what I got back. Green metal-flake flames, outlined, with airbrushing, 3 colors down the middle with tinted clearcoat with pearl, ice, sparkles, micro flake . . . who knows what's in there? Under the lights at night this thing is dancin' around and jumping right off the tank ! It rocks. I get all kinds of folks that ask me who did the paint, especially chics. Thanks again Uncle Bob !

Pinstriped Panel
This is a Pinstriped Panel that was painted by Spina and myself. Bob did all the red on the left side, and all the gold leaf. I painted the red on the right side, and all the blue. I tried to stay in the same style and keep the "flow" of the design. If you're a good pinstriper, great - but, the design and composition is what sets you apart from the rest. I can usually identify Spina's work. He has a certain style that lets your eye move about the design. Spina is a legend and he even signed my name to the design too ! Fuckin' Awesome. It's the little stuff that influences to practice for perfection.
Early Bob Spina - The Legend of Custom Paint
A shot of Bob Spina from the earlier days. Spina is the King of paint. What impresses me is that he has mastered all aspects of custom paint. Pinstriping, candies, flakes, clears, leaf, airbrush . . . you name it - he's done it. He is from the days of Roth, Watson, Dutch, Kelly - and SPINA ! He also doesn't need all the fancy stuff to produce results. No paint booth, no fancy shit - Just skill and know-how. Bob Spina is the Legend of Paint.
Painting Legend: Bob Spina of Las Vegas
I met Bob Spina years back in Rapid City, SD. I was on my way to the National Dirt Track on Hwy 44 and it looked like a tornado was coming. I ducked into a garage, and this white bearded guy and his young chic followed suit. Little did I know, this man (Bob Spina) would influence my artistic side and ultimately introduce me to a wide range of celebrities, rock stars, bike builders, wrestlers and whatever other colorful clients frequent his shop. This photo was taken last week in the Mustang as we cruised over to get the '56 Nomad. My friend, my uncle - Bob Spina.
