Began custom painting in 2008

About the Artist:

Stephen’s work is marked by his love for using a broad range of colors, with a special passion for flames. Having a strong background in pinstriping, he integrates this technique into his paint jobs whenever possible. For Stephen, the most rewarding part of painting is the creative freedom to bring his ideas to life, transforming imagination into reality. He also finds immense satisfaction in his clients’ reactions when they see their freshly painted parts—a priceless moment that fuels his dedication to the craft.

Artistic Inspiration:

He was inspired to get into custom painting after moving to Southern California and seeing the impressive custom paint jobs showcased at local events. Growing up with a father who was also a painter, he was naturally drawn to the craft, making custom painting a family tradition that he proudly carries forward.

Favorite Tropical Glitz Product:

Stephen says he has a blast using any and all of our Tropical Glitz products. He shares that the quality is exceptional and the colors are vibrant and user friendly.

Special Achievements

Stephen's custom painting work has earned him notable recognition over the years. His pieces have been featured in numerous magazines back when print was more prominent. Recently, he has created art pieces for the prestigious SEMA show and demonstrated his pinstriping skills on the main stage at the Grand National Roadster Show. These experiences have solidified his reputation in the custom paint world and highlighted his unique talent in pinstriping and custom design.
