Dude,i don't care what anyone else thinks-that paintjob is the biz!!! I was born in 1963(old git) and remember the 70's mags showing bikes with paint jobs like yours. I am stunned,that's the best I've seen yet! Told my grandaughter to have a look,as she likes this kind of thing too. Keep up the good work,people like you are making this lockdown shit bearable. Stay safe mate,drink loads and keep healthy.
Im an old school type of guy, I think the 70's paint schemes are without a doubt the most fun to see on a bike. I dont think people realize just how much work goes into it, just to get the flake layer done is more labor intensive than a standard paint job by far...and that is literally just the beginning! I really like the scales, the fade worked nicely as well. Good job Mackie!
Beers to you, Mackie. I've seen what I'll call metalflake painted panels on some T buckets and lowrider cars over here so I know the camera never catches the real beauty of the work. Absolutely gorgeous work there. I can imagine that bike flying down the road catching everyone's attention!
Beauty! Good on you for being adventurous, too. I still have a few Ye Olde School Chopper magazines purchased in the 70's c/w that unmistakable style of metal flake candy "low rider" paint job. (on things like coffin shaped gas tanks lol) Not specifically my cup of tea, but even myself, always a hardcore sportsbiker, still bought the mags to marvel at the artistic talent shown by individuals, not corporations. Cheers!
That is just it man. Sport bike is your choice, but you can appreciate differnet style and amount of work went into it. I love all bikes, sport, choppers, adventure and offroad...two wheels and a good engine is all I need. Best wishes bud.
I’ve only done one candy paint job on a bike and that was 30 years ago. It had gold and silver base and turned out ok but your airbrush skills have taken it to another level! WOW that totally suits the style of that bike and seriously increased its value! Great job mate 🍺🍺🍺🤩
ShootingCandy is another level..one mistake and need to redo the whole thing. Not an easy process as you probably know. Glad it came out ok and glad to hear you like it. Cheers!
After completing my 2nd airbrush piece I was chuffed to bits, one day I'll be able to do something like this, building confidence with the equipment at the moment. Motivation to be better 😁
That's the nuts.. You'll have to dig out some 3 buttoned waist band bottle green flares and a pair of platform boots to ride it so you fit in with the theme 😄 Looking forward to seeing it on the bike.. Rock 'n' Roll dude 🎶🎸🎵🤘
Love watching your videos Mackie! I didn't see you do it with the lacework but if you get the lace damp with a cleaner or alcohol (rubbing not drinking) and let it dry on the panel it gives you nice sharp lines and forms to the panels when it dries.
Sorry late to the game but I appreciate the sunrays coming from the skull in the bottom corner. Nice very subtle touch...which makes this job that much more nice.
Hi dude! While ago i bought an creos ps-290. It is 0.5 and comes with fancap and roundcap. It's same as iwatas fancap th1 airbrush but lot cheaper, still made in japan! Love it for candys and smaller paintjobs..
Now that was a the sort of look I considered for the Sportster - was looking at the saws with the skulls, but I recall you putting me off ;) Really do like this work of yours, one of the things I really like!
Right...back then I didn't know shit about metal flake...Now I know a little more, still learning really. But the saws are a different fish...they are on raw steel, with white highlights, making it a holographic effect. Another level bud! How's that sportster doing anyway? All I can see on your channel is...ORANGE, which is not a bad thing at all :)
@@MackieBass Every time I start on the Sportster, something more urgent comes up - it's quite frustrating! Yes Orange, going with what works on the channel but that will change - I have an idea what I want to do. Your subs seem to show that people like your painting!
Orange works, so why change it? I can see your subs rocketing high! You had couple of really good hits on some vids. Happy for you man. Good work pays off! Question...is that KTM as much fun as the DRZ was?
@@MackieBass Oh yes, there is another reason I make so many videos on it. It's great to have a small bike that you can smash the thottle everywhere on.
Came out nice Mackie I'd let ya paint my tins. Like the color sceme alot, the lace an shells are great. Personally I could do without the bubbles. But over all bang up job man. I think your pallet choice was spot on 👍
Awesome! Great work. Stumbled on this video, I'm about to airbrush some work on my Harley tins. What kind of candy airbrush paint and clear-coat do you prefer?
Awesome video Mackie. I would love to be able to paint like that maybe when my channel gets a bit bigger I could come visit and you can teach me some tricks
Although if it was my bike and I wanted a custom paint job, the bike might only be worth £2000 but I would have a one off Mackie. A bike owner loves their bike even if its worth a few quid a Mackie job would increase the value of any bike. I am still thinking about a future job for you .Cool bananas bro.
Hay man awesome job subscribed today 🤘I'm teaching myself airbrushing I'm doing ok just a hobby for now just wondering did you use bleed checker between each coat of candy when applying anyways awesome stuff I'll keep watching 🤘
WOW! My friend so want to do this style of paint job on his sportster he is building. I love the scales. I want to add a Japanese style war flag to my rigged frame bobber that is a KZ750 . Again I so love your work.
Day and a half 😂🤣😂 looks fantastic, I love this style, I wouldn't worry too much about the value of the bike, think of the stuff people used to paint this sort of thing on back in the day, Bedford CF's, HA Viva's, Morris Minors etc. (In the UK anyway 🤣).
wyszlo swietnie. dobor kolorow tez mi sie podoba no i grafika test petarda. podziwiam prace. szkoda ze miescisz sie tak daleko bo moze i ja skusilbym sie na danie ci zlecenia na swoj motocykl.
Pawel, wszystko sie da ogarnac. Tak z ciekawosci, jakie sa ceny custom paint job w polsce? Zarowno zmiana koloru jak i airbrushing dla motocykli? Tak mniej wiecej. Z gory dzieki.
Hi I saw your TH-cam video of you painting the harley tins !! I'm trying to find someone to paint all the tins in my harley davidson sportster would you be interested in doing the work?
Class 🍺👍🏻, love the colours especially the purple I you have it Mackie 😉 Hell what would it a looked like if you’d been doing it for a customer wid more Time on it , beer for me today trying to sort my garage cheers mark 🇬🇧🍺👍🏻
I watch all your videos even though it’s hard for me to understand your accent which I’m sure it would be hard for you to understand man I’m a straight up hillbilly my grandpa is my daddy
Hello captain. Long time no see .not your fault (1)I'm not interested in bike or mechanical stuff . (2).not been to good health wise. And lastly I'm sick to death of shit and idiots making videos when clearly they haven't a clue what the f#*k they are doing . To me it's bloody dangerous. Anyhow back to vid. Paint job is brill love your art work. Very close to big daddy Roth.in the style you've done it in . Love it . A little tip for you with the build up over the masking . Remove the tape when the paint is wet straight after you've put the paint on that way you don't get as bad as build up and you don't get tear out or ragged edges learn that tip in the 70s reading the American custom car mags in my misspent youth lol. And again when I learnt spraying as my trade as part of training to be a coach builder. Well captai.n great to see you again and as always enjoyed. 🤘🍺🍺🍺🥃👍
David my good friend. Good to hear from you. I hope you are getting better and looking after yourself! Yes, I try to remove paint when wet, but some areas need to stay masked for the duration of paintjob, so sometims it takes days pn the complex bits, and this cannot be avoided. But wet sand and top float coat fixes the problem greatly! All the best David, I hope to hear from you more often.
Dude,i don't care what anyone else thinks-that paintjob is the biz!!! I was born in 1963(old git) and remember the 70's mags showing bikes with paint jobs like yours. I am stunned,that's the best I've seen yet! Told my grandaughter to have a look,as she likes this kind of thing too. Keep up the good work,people like you are making this lockdown shit bearable.

Thanks Steve, glad you like it ...and look after yourself buddy. Speak soon!
Im an old school type of guy, I think the 70's paint schemes are without a doubt the most fun to see on a bike. I dont think people realize just how much work goes into it, just to get the flake layer done is more labor intensive than a standard paint job by far...and that is literally just the beginning! I really like the scales, the fade worked nicely as well. Good job Mackie!
You're not wrong there...this is probably 3 times if not 4 times the amount of work of regular paint job... well worth it I hope :)
This paint on a old school chopper would look fantastic..metal flake looks great...Great job Mackie.
I think so too! Just need somebody with and oldskool chopper to comission the job :)
Beers to you, Mackie. I've seen what I'll call metalflake painted panels on some T buckets and lowrider cars over here so I know the camera never catches the real beauty of the work. Absolutely gorgeous work there. I can imagine that bike flying down the road catching everyone's attention!
She's back on the road brother, and looking sharp. Video out tomorrow.
Stunning paint job, Mackie. People won't be able to walk past that bike without a second look, that's for sure! 🟧🟨🎨🖌 👍 🏍
Thanks Marty. It .at be for all the wrong reasons. They will be like: " while the ffff painted Virago like this???"
Beauty! Good on you for being adventurous, too. I still have a few Ye Olde School Chopper magazines purchased in the 70's c/w that unmistakable style of metal flake candy "low rider" paint job.

Wow, great job Mackir. I love old school being of that crazy era myself so for sure that’s gonna get some love on the road. Well done.
Right on! The bike, for what it is, feels great..mainly because of the paint job :)
Love this style of painting. So simple, yet so very effective.
Simple...yes, but flipping time consuming to produce.
So vibrant, especially in the sun. NICE!!!
It really is! In the sunlight it just sparkles and shines beutifully.
Old school done right Mackie! it might not be to everyone's taste but there is no denying your skill. Stay safe bro!
Thanks Matt, glad you like it buddy!

Looking forward to seeing it on the bike..
Rock 'n' Roll dude 🎶🎸🎵🤘
Cool idea! Yes, bike back together now and video coming up soon!
Fantastic job Mackie! Love the old school 70's custom paint. I'd happily have that on my bike.
You and me both!
I really like this style, when I build my next chopper I would love a paint job like that!
Go for it and you know where to find me :)
Can't wait to see tins back on the bike I love this style of paint
Oh they are back on...and looking good!
@@MackieBass seen the photos it looks stunning good job well done dude
Brilliant work, looks ace in the sunlight...true artist.
Thakns James
That turned out nice!Cant beat abit of oldschool.All the best.
Old school is the way to go!
Love watching your videos Mackie! I didn't see you do it with the lacework but if you get the lace damp with a cleaner or alcohol (rubbing not drinking) and let it dry on the panel it gives you nice sharp lines and forms to the panels when it dries.
That is a very good tip, thank you. I just stretched it and held with magnets :)
Sorry late to the game but I appreciate the sunrays coming from the skull in the bottom corner. Nice very subtle touch...which makes this job that much more nice.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you !

Thank you so much 😀
Not hugely into the full on custom paint jobs but something about that is very cool. Great upload.
Thanks 👍, I know - not everyones cup of tea, but the style is pretty cool I think.
That's Ace!! Iv been wanting a paintjob like that since you did the Lowrider saw painting video!!
Nice one...these saw are completely different fish, but nevertheless just as awesome!
Came out nice Mackie
I'd let ya paint my tins.
Like the color sceme alot, the lace an shells are great.
Personally I could do without the bubbles.
But over all bang up job man.
I think your pallet choice was spot on 👍
Cheers man, I wanted to add all available to me patterns, but this can obviously be adjusted to personal taste
Did you clear before airbrushing?What airbrush paint did you use.Thanks
Yes, number of times. Combo of water and solvent base.
Brah! The old school look for that lil bike is on point! nicely done man.
Cheers Ray!
Awesome! Great work. Stumbled on this video, I'm about to airbrush some work on my Harley tins. What kind of candy airbrush paint and clear-coat do you prefer?
I used Inspire candys here, and I user good quality 2k clear. Don't matter what brand, as long it's not cheap cheap.
Beautiful job Mackie, looking forward to the next one m8, trying to imagine what it looks like on the Virago, hope we don’t have to wait too long 🤘
I hope so too! Video is ready...just need to put it together!
Absolutely brilliant Mackie, that is incredible. Well done.
Glad to hear it!
seriously good, love the bright colours
Old School :)
@@MackieBass very, it looks great, and the fact you haven't tried to do it perfect means it fits the bike brilliantly
Awesome video Mackie. I would love to be able to paint like that maybe when my channel gets a bit bigger I could come visit and you can teach me some tricks
Can't see any reason why not...just need to fine some time for it :)
YES!! Metalflake, Candy Colours, Lacework...Love it... wether its on a 70's Chevelle Lowrider or a Virago :-) :-) Epic work mate.
Right on! Chevelle or a Virago LOL!
Absolutely killer job man!
Thanks man!
Nice work..will look nice on that virago planing on doing some old school paint on mine as well
Nice one man
Bro I’ve just started the intro and can’t wait to see it Fukn love love love old school choppers
Ol Skool man!

A bike owner loves their bike even if its worth a few quid a Mackie job would increase the value of any bike. I am still thinking about a future job for you .Cool bananas bro.
Well said Paul, I am thinking exactly the same way. Stay in touch man.
Hay man awesome job subscribed today 🤘I'm teaching myself airbrushing I'm doing ok just a hobby for now just wondering did you use bleed checker between each coat of candy when applying anyways awesome stuff I'll keep watching 🤘
No, as I didn't really mix the candy too much on layers. When they do mix I didn't mind a little bleed, as it adds to the effect. Hope that helps!
Looks very cool, looking fom some metal flke on my 2017 triumph bobber..
Nice one!
It was the overuse of bad metal flake that made it so unpopular but when it's done right, it looks the business
The scalloping
It's the ultimate OTT paint job...but I like it!
I agree. It looks amazing. Well done. ☺🤘
Glad you like it Kay.
Frickin fantastic, I wish I could afford you to paint my triumph, but hay keep up the great work 👍🤗
How do you know you can't afford it? You never asked... :)
How would I contact you? through Cambridge Pin-striping?
@@deanbeeston4541 yes, drop me an email, you can find it in the video description or on my website :)
MackieBass 👌👍👍👍
Great job Mackie. Like it a lot! 🍻
Rock on!
WOW! My friend so want to do this style of paint job on his sportster he is building. I love the scales. I want to add a Japanese style war flag to my rigged frame bobber that is a KZ750 . Again I so love your work.
Sounds good, like the flag idea
Just awesome! Love your work and vision on this.
Cheers Austin!
That looks amazing. Top quality work as always.
75%quality maybe..there are imperfections ;) But thanks!
I really like this job, really nice.
Thank you very much!
Stunning dude simply stunning...would I have it..perhaps on a second bike...but good show Mackie...
Deal!
@@MackieBass not sure what I just bought .. but yaaay
Nice to watch pal you’ve got talent 👍
I've got a lot of patience is what I've got.. :)
Loved the ghost skull on the tank. I love a ghost skull theme all over my xv1100!!
Good man
I wish I had your talent Mackie 🖒🖒🏍🏍
It;s not talent brother, it's patience and a lot of it.
Lovely job bud. No question bout it.

Is that water based inspire paint? Or urethane
Solvent based.
Awesome - looks fab
Thank you! Cheers!
I think it looks awesome, your in the UK right? I have a Softail Duce a job like that would look awesome on.. but in Seattle US bummer
I am in UK...yes, shipping would kill the deal I'm afraid. You guys need to move me to teh US, scene is slightly bigger there I could imagine.
i like that allot Mackie. one of my favourites yet.
Same here bro.
Fucking awesome job Mackie 👏👏👌🏻😎🤘🍻
Thanks muchly
That’s amazing my friend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much
Can i ask what paint you used ?
Candy? Inspire.
Nice work 👍 mad skills 👊
Cheers
What a job.
That´s not my stye of paint but the final result is amazing,
Not everyone's cup of tea, I get it. Glad you can appreciate it tho :)
@@MackieBass WELL done work.
Simple as that.
Cheers.
Amazing job as always. Wish i have your talent🤘
Thank you very much, but talent has nothing to do with it. Hard work and a lot of practice and patience...that's all :)

Always cool!
Bloody great ,70's is my era meaningless psycho eye candy and big hair. Nice one Cheers!
Classic! All the best Dave
Nice job but could use some green in it. Bad ass.
I wanted to keep it single tone...then decided to add the gold/yellow to red. Blue or green would be a little too much I think.. Maybe next project ;)
Nice work
Thanks
Hi I saw your TH-cam video of you painting the harley tins !! I'm trying to find someone to paint all the tins in my harley davidson sportster would you be interested in doing the work?
