Deep in an unassuming Seattle industrial building, buried in the daylight basement, is @stuntdoublescolor .

People tend to say “cave of bad ideas,” but @paul.kalifatidi wants to set the record straight—owner Brandon Waterman seems to only have stellar ideas worth exploring. These include door stops. Yes, your local Seattle bike finishing studio also makes lovely door stops.

Welcome to Stunt Doubles… by @waterman_made

This beautiful @parleecycles came in looking like it’d just been tossed outa a bar fight (or maybe just a very dropped chain and years of riding). After the carbon was fixed, but the finish was sadder than a wet sandwich. A few layers of fresh wet paint to get it back to looking fast. Back on the road, better than before. �

Stoked to give this old #Davidson a new life in fresh paint for @obvi_duh

This beautiful marketplace/craigslist find definitely had some rough patches. We powder coated and recreated the logos and decals that were originally on this lovely lil frame, before topping it with a clear coat. Its a couple wheels away from being ready to roll again 🔥❤️

New batches of reflective @ridepdw fenders are headed up to @goodweatherinseattle this week!

View the GW web store next week for multiple sizes! by @waterman_made

We've been testing out some new finishes including this embossed cerakote. I also opened Adobe premiere for the first time in 7 or 8 years, and I still know how to make a rudimentary video!

How do these decals even work? by @waterman_made

I've been working on a different method for doing decals that aim to make higher fidelity more flexible options that would work for wet paint, cerakote and powder coat without having to change them or do production runs.

And while this little sample for @apogeebikes is one of my favorite little tubes I've done in a while, it's been nothing short of a super huge pain trying to work through the kinks and get consistent results.

The process is still not there, and some of my steps are not so subtly in the backward direction. That said, I know more even if I don't know how to make it perfect yet. by @waterman_made

Fresh out of the oven, this @crustbikes evasion is our unique take on a "raw" #steelframebike. We're stoked with how this one came out and are excited to share more of this technique in the future.

We've been doing #powdercoating and #cerakote for around 2 years now @goodweatherinseattle with our in-house shop @stuntdoublescolor . If you have an idea for how you want your bicycle finished or don't have any idea but know you want something special, hit us up.

Oh yeah, we also paint things that aren't bicycles, so If you've got something that could use a special pop, from door knobs to lighting fixtures, hit us up. by @waterman_made

Here's a quick test of some new techniques we're working on. More to come :-) by @waterman_made
