Revisiting the flamed Hummer limo...
Here's something I'll bet you missed the first time you saw this photograph...it's something I even missed, before Keeley corrected me.
I knew I instantly had to share this.
Take a closer look at the area within the yellow circle on this revised picture. You will see two pirates sword-fighting.
This detail completely blew me away, and is a breathtaking glimpse into the creativity of Keeley.
If you want a similar job done, or just want to call to tell Keeley what an awesome detail this is, call (615) 578-4431 today!

Flamed Hummer Limo!
Riding to your big event in a stretch-Hummer limo not extravagant enough? Why don't you add some flames to it!?
This is a job Keeley took on in 2012, and is a perfect example of how astonishingly realistic the man can make flames look on a vehicle.
One thing's for sure...you won't see too many of these cruising the streets of Nashville, and when you do, you certainly won't forget it.

Airbrushed Mustang
This project was completed during the summer of 2004, and is a good example of Keeley's ability to completely revamp a car.
When this Ford Mustang arrived at the shop, it was silver! Keeley painted the entire car black, installed the body kit, and did all of the silver airbrushing to make this a completely new look for the customer.
To add an airbrush touch to your vehicle, call (615) 578-4431, and discuss the possibilities with Keeley today!

Tribal Stripes
Showcasing what is somewhat of a new trend in the custom paint community, this motorcycle (painted in 2011) displays what are known as "tribal stripes."
You could think of a tribal striped-design as a combination of flames and scallops.

Tennessee State Flag Motorcycle
If you've ever visited the Southeastern United States, you learn instantly that "Southern hospitality" is very much alive and thriving!
In 2005, Keeley met a customer who wanted to express pride in his home state, and here is the result!
A tank and fender painted to resemble the state flag of Tennessee.
Don't worry....we aren't biased strictly to the South. If you want an Alaskan state flag, we can do it! Call (615) 578-4431 to speak with Keeley and discuss the possibilities today!

Restoration
Here's a special project Keeley is working on for Keifer Thompson of country music duo, Thompson Square.
When this 1971 Bronco was brought to Keeley's shop, it was white with a lot of work to be done. First, the truck was painted in a satin black finish. The crew put black hammered chrome and emblems on the truck, as well as hammered star plating. The exterior top was refinished with a spray-on bedliner, which accents the satin black of the body. This exemplifies the old-school, "black on black on black" look.
The suspension was rebuilt to safer specs to keep Keifer & his family safe while traveling on busy roads and highways.
Contact Keeley at (615) 578-4431 to discuss YOUR potential restoration job today!
