One of the most outstanding examples of Alcalde Customs' painting abilities can be seen on the Super Viper Systems "Stryker" Viper GTS. The Viper you see below is the only twin turbocharged Dodge Viper GTS in the world. It is wearing the American Dream paint scheme. Normally a popular tank design for Harleys, Alcalde demostrated it's creative capabilities by adapting the paint scheme to a full sized automobile.

Tim did an outstanding job blending and repairing scratches and gouges along one whole side of my bike from a zero speed tip over in gravel. His price was very fair and he eve helped with transport when I couldn't find a trailer to rent. He went the extra mile I would recommend him to anyone.
This was a mundane repair on an old "geezer glide", but he still treated me like I was doing custom work
I also had the inner fairing painted and it came out fabulous 👌

Tim did an excellent job on my 18 Road Glide that i wanted a color change on from factory red. I dropped off my tins, told him the base color i wanted and emailed a few pictures of a design i liked and let him put his spin on it. Had them back in 2 weeks and it came out awesome! Great pricing as well! I plan on letting him fix up the paint on my 69 camaro as well now after seeing his work. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to make their motorcycle the best looking bike in the neighborhood.

I Brought in a different request to have a vintage bike painted that I was restoring. The owner, Tim, was enthusiastic about helping to complete my project. I cannot say enough about the time he took to find the right color for this bike and how promptly he got to work on it. All I can say is it turned out beautiful. I am very happy with his work and would highly recommend him for his expertise and professionalism. Tim was a pleasure to work with on my project!
He brought back to life my 1934 Ladies Elgin Bluebird Bike. His pricing is comparable with other companies in the area for the quality

I recently had my bike painted by the team at Alcalde. I can't say enough good about the job they did and how easy they were to work with. From the first time in the shop Tim was great. He took me around the shop showed me the paint area and went through the process. When I took the bike in we went over final colors and design work, as well we went through the estimate so I knew exactly how the total was being computed.
He was great at communicating throughout the process and even sent photos of the bike as he was doing it. Even when we hit a challenge in design idea, he was quick to fix

Amazing shop!! I picked up a set of hard bags from a trike conversion, and needed to match them to my Dark Horse. After checking with a couple shops, I ended up at Alcalde Customs. Tim was great to work with, had the bags painted in just a few days, and they look fantastic! He even caught that the company I had bought the paint from had sent me the wrong color... and was able to match the matte perfectly just by seeing the bike. He was even able to paint over the chrome bezels and hinges perfectly.
I couldn't be happier with the results! I'll definitely be using Alcalde Customs for

Dennis I am very happy for you that your bike turned out as wonderful as you say it did. However I was not quite so fortunate as you. As you can see from my pictures there were quite a few discrepancies. The biggest issue I had with Kim was the fact that he did not provide me any sample sprays of the color I had requested. Dennis when you stated that Tim stands behind his work. I could barely stand up from laughing so hard. Not only did he not stand behind his work. He only offered me $100 discount from the crap job he did. If Tim really is a perfectionist and takes pride in his work. Then
