Scarface Chopper unveiled @ MotorEx 2014

A project that we recently completed, the Scarface Chopper owned by Alex Grozdanoski was unveiled at this years Meguiars MotorEx. With a show packed full of Custom cars and bikes it was an honour to have some of our artwork unveiled on this one of a kind custom chopper.
The theme for this bike was clear and it was basically a homage to Alex's favourite cult classic 'Scarface' and airbrushing some murals of Al Pacino, as his famed character Tony Montana was a perfect fit.

Even without any airbrushing or custom paint, this chopper is insane. And once Alex had the frame and tins all custom painted with a silver metal flake and finished off with a House of Kolor Pagan Gold, he then brought it to us to work on selecting the best reference material for his murals, one to go on the tank and the other on the huge rear fender. As well as the murals we also added some lettering, two of his favourite quotes from the movie "Everyday above ground is a good day" and "I always tell the truth, even when I lie"which really finished off the theme and tribute to the movie.

Scroll down to see a collection of photos taken at the show and to check out more of our artwork feel free to visit us at :
