🖌️ MOTORBIKE TANK 🖌️

I really enjoyed signwriting and pinstriping this tank for Peter Stevens Importers.

A gift for 12 years of service to their employee, Jono, for his achievements. The company chose a metallic grey Triumph tank (Triumph Motorcycles Australia), with a custom hand painted pinstripe & thank you message. I completed this job in 2pak metallic gold.

🖌️GOLD LEAF HONOUR BOARD 🖌️

Gold leaf honour board completed for the East Camberwell Tennis club

Originally, the club used another company to apply vinyl cut lettering onto their honour board. However, over the years, our client felt it wasn’t the correct fit for this historical club.

Therefore, our brief was to remove the original vinyl lettering & replace it with 23.5crt gold leaf. Replicating the original typeface & spacing, our team sign wrote 150 names onto the club’s honour board. Also, sign writing the years, which started from 1975.

A huge thank you to Andrew Bell - a life member of the club and architect - who designed this honour board for the club. We are grateful for the opportunity from the East Camberwell Tennis Club committee, for entrusting our team to complete this massive project.

🏍️ PINSTRIPING 🏍️

We had the pleasure of pinstriping this vintage 1938 BMW motor bike.

Our client Felix requested us to pinstripe the original white double lines on the tank, with single lines on the front and rear guards. Felix also bought along the original BMW pressed plate emblems. Our team primed and sprayed them in 2 pack gold, before hand painting the original black, blue and white branding.
