Alex Mengis spent years meticulously crafting his 1978 Yamaha XS 650 chopper, pouring passion and precision into every detail. When it came time for the final step—painting—Alex turned to Tamco Paint to bring his vision to life, and the results are nothing short of remarkable.
He began by laying down a strong foundation with HP5311 Black DTM (Direct to Metal) Primer Kit, ensuring a durable and even base. From there, he applied Raspberry Jam, a vibrant and distinctive color that gave his chopper a bold, unforgettable personality. To complete the look, Alex used HC4100 Glamour Clearcoat Kit, locking in the depth and shine while providing long-lasting protection.
The combination of premium Tamco products and Alex’s dedication to his craft resulted in a show-stopping motorcycle that radiates individuality and artistry. Reflecting on his experience, Alex shared his enthusiastic testimonial:
“Can’t say enough good things about this Paint company!”
This project is a true testament to both Alex’s skill and the quality of Tamco Paint, proving how the right products can transform a vision into reality.
