I have just returned from the customs shed with a large box and un-packed it...... All I can say is WOW!!!!!!

I had been looking around here in the UK for somebody to paint my roadster tank and side panels. I wanted them fire flake blue, always loved the colour, but was having trouble finding someone I could trust to do a good job.

I noticed an advert on here for the october special. I checked this out and emailed Brent. What a nice guy. Helpfull, and very knowledgeable. I took the chance of sending him my tin ware for the re-paint. Boy am I glad I did. The job he has done for me is fantastic.. Can't fault the paint work or the way he does business. He sent me photos at every stage of the job to let me see how it was progressing. The photos didn't do justace to his work. I've still got a big smile on my face even though the heating in the house is down and its minus 3 here at the moment....

I can not recomend this guy enough for the job he has done. I am 1 happy Norton owner

.... Thanks Brent.

Pictures of it please !!! I might go this route, as I 've seen pics of Brent's work and they looked fantastic ! Thought I emailed him awhile back, and he said couldn't do the metal flake stuff ??? (even though House of Kolor carries all the flakes.) I like the "Fireflake Golden Bronze" too. So ... PLEASE POST SOME PICS OF IT, Cheers !

Not trying to hijack your thread, I just wanted to agree with you about the work Brent does! He did my steel tank and I couldn't have been happier. Anyone looking for someone to do some winter paint work should seriously consider giving Brent a call.

I was glad to see this thread. Brent just emailed me tonight and is sending my Interstate tank back tomorrow. Can't wait to see it now.
I was daring and went with black/gold. Maybe it will catch on.

I believe he has successfully replicated the fireflake process now...

marinecommando · Nov 30, 2010

He certainly has perfected the process.... I rushed home from work and dry fitted them... People have commented that I look like the village idiot because of the huge grin on my face!!!!!! I will post some pics once she is fully back together. My aim is to finish before christmas so I can go on the cold turkey run on the 26th december..

Merry Christmas marinecommando; I'm chompin' at the bit waiting to see those pictures !!!

I am planing on having Brent paint my stuff too as soon as I get to that point, He is the nicest guy you could do buisiness with. About a year ago a friend was planing on buying a new Harley so he could do some sight seeing. His doctors had given him a pretty bad outlook and he had some places he wanted to see. Harley could not sell the bike in his chosen color red without it costing more than he could aford. I thought as a presant I would have his stuff painted for him so I called Brent. I told him what I was doing & he offered to do it at a very reduced rate! What a guy, sadly do to medical bills the bike was never bought but he is ok today with no forseen future problems & rides his Duck for now with plans of buying the Harley later. We both will have Brent paint our stuff when the time comes.

Brent did the paintwork on my 73 Commando a couple of years ago. Couldn't be happier with the results. Beautiful job, has held up well, and Brent is very easy to work with. I'll be sending him the metalwork on my 74 Commando as soon as I decide on a color.

Another Satisfied Customer Review..........

Brent did my Tank and Side Covers and I get comments all the time about the look of my bike now.
Sweet finish to my project.
You can see the paint work up close on my web site linked in my sig. (shameless attempt at getting hits to my page)

Credit me with a few hits to your page. Nice paint. The rest isn't bad either. Well done.

KSUWildcatFan · Nov 30, 2010

I'm happy to see my Roadster tank and side covers go to a guy like Brent. I know they're going to be transformed from what they are now (rough; some idiot's idea of a 'good' paint job which utilized no prep or care in the least) into something incredible.

Sounds like there are lots of people with good experiences with his business. That's a great resource for this site to have.

Keep up the good work, Brent!

Hi Guys. This is Brent Budgor, The Vintage Vendor. Feel free to e-mail me at brent@vintage-vendor.com and I can send you pics of marinecommando's Fireflake Blue Roadster I just completed for him over in the UK. I will see if I can post a few on this site, but not sure I'm that computer saavy.
Cheers,
Brent

I just received my metal from Brent yesterday. I can't believe how nice it looks. Another satisfied customer here. I would recommend him to anyone. Good guy to work with too. This board steered me right again. The whole process was fairly painless.

flashbackk · Dec 10, 2010

I offered to post up some pix of marinecommando's Roadster from England in Fireflake Blue for Brent.

shrugger · Dec 10, 2010

Fireflake is certainly not the easiest thing to photograph. I imagine it looks outright astounding in person.
I may just have to send my yellow and black to Vermont. :wink:

marinecommando · Dec 10, 2010

you're right there.. the photos do not do the job justice. The job in the flesh is outstanding. Sorry for keep going on but I am still smiling every time I see them.....
