Elijah Vaudt Custom Painting gave this 2001 Honda Shadow Bobber a show-stopping transformation with a bold and stylish finish. To ensure a durable foundation, the project began with HP661 Grey DTA Epoxy (Direct to Anything) Kit for maximum adhesion on multiple surfaces, followed by the HP5310 Grey DTM (Direct to Metal) Kit to build a smooth base ready for color.
The vibrant look was then achieved using a stunning combination of Tamco’s Jad`e Pearl | OEM Tri-Stage Basecoat, delivering a rich tone that makes the bike stand out from every angle.
For blending and consistency, HR Reducers were used throughout the process. To lock in the colors with exceptional gloss and protection, Elijah finished the project with HC7677 HI-Impact Clearcoat Kit for added durability, along with the HC2104 High Solids Clearcoat for that deep, glass-like shine.
The result is a sleek, modern twist on a classic ride, a perfect showcase of creativity, craftsmanship, and the superior performance of Tamco Paint products.

(Note: Tri-stage is a painting process designed to achieve a more vibrant and eye-catching finish. It involves three key steps: first, a specially formulated basecoat is applied to set the foundation and enhance the effects of the next layer. Next, a pearl or color midcoat is added, providing depth, shimmer, and a distinctive tone. The final step, a clear coat, seals and protects the finish, completing the tri-stage process.)
