CUSTOM BIKES GALORE SAYS “PAINT BY WAYNE”
It’s an amazing achievement just to be able to survive the ravages of time in South Africa’s motorcycling industry, where a systematic feast or famine business activity is always either up or down on an all too familiar activity basis. But Wayne Deintje is one such survivor. The “Paint by Wayne” operation has been in the Edenvale area for over 40 years. He has managed by staying with his unique philosophy of tackling only motorcycle custom respray work and specialising on restoring customers repairs back to their original Candy Apple, pearl or metallic finish to as good as new.
Wayne has an amazing database of motorcycle original colour formula’s that cover hundreds of thousands of the popular bike colours, shades and derivatives that populate this area of activity of repair.
Like any small repair company, the business has a host of specialist spray guns that include many high- and low-pressure soft paint delivery models to cope with the achievement of exactly the right colour shades needed for a perfect repainting job. His gun of choice is the latest Sagola 330 Xtreme to exact the very best finish at all times.
Wayne says that to a large extent his business has always been a hobby that went quite mad. By remaining a one-man operation he has been able to withstand the economic ups and down in the South African market of the motorcycle and refurbishment trade.
The company is packed to the brim with exotic pearl and candy apply toners that are able to achieve any of the customers custom paint work desires. “You just never know what colours you are going to be asked to repeat to get it back to its original glory. That is a major challenge that never goes away.” Such is the life of a custom painter,” he concluded.
