HARD LifeStyle BMW 750 LI

It doesn’t get much tighter than the HARD Lifestyle “Beemer” owned by Steve Flanagan. With all copper trimmings this BMW has elegance written all over it! Using a highly durable clearcoat with just the right Candy color combinations these copper wheels and trim really “Set it OFF”. Red Chrome, Green, Blue, even SOLID GOLD wheels can be done at HARD Lifestyle.
So if you have that special project and want to be sure it is going to be done right, then check out the site!

Ice-T and Coco filming of the “Murder” Red Bentley project

What more can you say, today the “O.G.” himself Ice-T and beautiful wife Coco came to the shop to check out the progress on the “Murder Red” Bentley GT. Cameras rolled as Ice-T ripped apart the crew that attempted to paint his Bentley for him in N.Y. needless to say they screwed it up BIG-TIME.
Ice reminds them on camera, N.Y. we love you BUT there’s only one place to go if you really want that Candy Paint done and done right… and that is CALIFORNIA where it was born, and obviously HARD Lifestyle, where it was PERFECTED!
Coco was on hand to give her “seal of approval” and once we knew she liked the color, the rest would be easy!

Big thanks to Ice-T and Coco for stopping by the shop and showing “The Love”. We appreciate it Ice and the Bentley is going to “kill”… Guess that’s why such a perfect name for the color… MURDER Red!

Jacky Jasper… Thanks for coming out! Mad Love and respect (but you know that)

Ice-T comes to check out the STRIPPED Bentley!

As promised guys here is round 2 of the pictures. Ice stops by to check out the progress of his Candy Apple “Murder Red” Bentley GT (A special color developed by HARD Lifestyle exclusively for this project). We take a shot at selling him on the idea of Tape Fades on the sides of this “one of a kind” Bentley… But alas the unanimous decision was to stay sort of conservative on this one and just go solid candy finish… No graphics or lines in it.
You can see from a few of the pics it would have been definitely a HARD Bentley with tape fades, however this car is most definitely going to impress!

After this set I’ll put up the 3rd installment today including the shots of Coco and Ice-T playing around with the sample color shape… and the shots of Ice-T doing his thing with the camera!

Ice-T’s Bentley gets “STRIPPED”

You are looking at “D-Day” for a Bentley GT Continental owned by none other than the “O.G.” himself Ice-T. When Ice said he wanted to fix the paintjob on his Bentley and wanted a TRUE Candy Apple Red… We knew it had to be “Paint-Slinger Extraordinaire” Jeff Mersey from Merzees Custom Paint. Jeff is the master when it comes to top notch show quality paint work. With Jeff on board and our HIGH TECH Custom Paints ALWAYS in hand it was time to attack a Bentley!
Take a look below as we tear into this $180,000 car like it was a Toyota Corolla….
Stay Tuned I’m about to post the 2nd set where Ice-T and Coco come out to see the car!

Cory Saint Clair Incredible Airbrush Art

I wanted to share with you a collection from one of our top artists Cory Saint Clair. This is just an appetizer of what’s to come from this incredible artist.
Cory burst onto the California scene a few years back, hailing from my last hometown of Atlanta Georgia, we hit it off right away. Cory is responsible for some of the most realistic, and cutting edge art out there today.
The first artist to play with the interactive Heat Reactive Paint, Cory shocked everyone with the Super Street bike Magazine feature bike “Tattoo”. He used a combination of Heat Reactive Paint and Blue Candy so when the bike was cold it was black, but when it warmed up it became Blue with a highly detailed, Tattoo inspired Japanese graphics scheme.
Cory is also responsible for the “FALLEN SOLDIER” Iraq War Memorial Vehicle shown in this showcase, which I think I can speak for EVERYONE who has seen this car it takes your breath away and instills a true feeling of American pride in a group of men who gave it all for our freedom, so I could write these blogs like I am tonight, and share with you my passions. Some people will never be this lucky!
So to the soldiers THANK YOU!!!
You will always have my support as long as you are forced to be there. To Cory Saint Clair, keep up the inspiring work brother, I’ve known you for a few years now….
Here’s to many more!

Steve Vai’s EXOTIC Chrome Guitar

This project is definitely worth sharing. This incredible guitar was made special for the modern day super hero of the guitar world Steve Vai. Emerald Guitars in Ireland came up with the “out of this world” design. When Allister wanted to make this guitar look “carved” out of a block of metal Chrome was the only option. The addition of a Red Candy fade really put it over the top.
With the current situation of markets flooded with Chinese import instruments Allister’s business slowed to the point he is currently doing only VERY limited runs. My goal with this post is to let the world know that one of the true innovators Allister from Emerald Guitars in Ireland is the place to go when you really want a “top of the line” finely crafted instrument, and if enough of us go get one he’ll be back on top of the industry in no time. Mr. Vai knew where to get quality, and I say we can trust his judgement!
Allister made me a few Carbon Fiber Acoustic / Electric guitars that have the most AMAZING action and solid tone I’ve seen. Don’t take our word for it… Ask around or better yet go get one and experience it for yourself.

Patriots YOU CHEATED Parody Song

Although I’m not a Giants fan per say, I have to admit I was glad to see them pull the “upset” this year against the New England Patriots. I would have hated to hear everyone for years to come talking about how Bill and the Patriots didn’t deserve it after all the “SpyGate” B.S. that went on this year. As far as I’m concerned the face of football was saved! Now you knew it wouldn’t take long for the parody songs to show up but this one just made me laugh so I figured we’d share it here.

We plan to put up the craziest or just plain funniest videos we find on the web here on our blogs and share with the rest of you. Let us know what you think guys…. Drop some comments too!

Feel free to share what you find out there too…. We’re ALL waiting!

Kelly Slater and his Heat Changing Surfboard

Check out Kelly Slater and his heat sensitive – color changing “Channel Islands” surfboard. We’ve used this state of the art paint technology the same as you’ve seen us use on MANY projects in the past. Now the HOTTEST surfers get a chance to play with this “fun” paint first hand.

(Click the Tumbnails for FULL size image)

We work with many manufacturers to bring the coolest technologies to ALL walks of life… It’s not just car paint!

Once a black board now turns white deflecting the sun’s rays and heat. The process is totally reversible, so once the board cools off, it turns back to its original color. No more hassles with delaminating decks and melting wax on that black board you have always wanted but were never able to obtain.

THIS TECHNOLOGY IS NOW AVAILABLE AT HARD LIFESTYLE!

Snoop Dogg and Chrome Footballs for The Kids

We wanted to helps Snoop Dogg do something really special for his Pop-Warner football team the Pamona Steelers. Coach Snoop’s team went undefeated this season and he wanted to reward them with something just as special as their performances. These kids fought a long hard season to stay number 1 so we couldn’t let them down.

We came up with Chrome and Gold footballs. That’s right each kid got his own little “Lombardi Trophey” to take home and put on the mantle OR they could actually play with these footballs as they remain TOTALLY flexable.

So again congratulations Steelers and we’ll see you next season with something else to “blow your minds” so work hard and let’s do it again…. We’ll be there!!!
