Over the past few years, Seth Boldman and his team at Aggressive Designs have created seven custom bikes for magician Criss Angel. However, this year alone, Aggressive Designs created four one-of-a-kind custom painted bikes for the superstar.

The guys at Aggressive Designs used Transtar’s Glamour Clear and Factory Pack Empress Black Basecoat LV-905 to finish this latest bike for Angel. Seth says he likes to use Glamour Clear because it’s “forgiving, doesn’t wrinkle, and covers well if you have to cover over a burn from buffing.”

To make these custom designs, Angel brings ideas to the table from t-shirts, sketches, drawings on napkins, etc. and then gives Seth freedom to run with it and create incredible designs. Each bike takes about 1-2 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the graphics.

Seth Boldman, owner and designer at Aggressive Designs, recently painted a one-of-a-kind microphone and microphone stand for Christina Aguilera’s 2010 MTV Movie Award performance. Made from start to finish using Transtar products, the stand and mic were finished off with Transtar’s Glamour Clear (#9461) to give it the perfect shine on stage.

The candy apple red stand is composed of ‘lips’ stacked one on top of another with an old race car steering wheel as the base. The mic matches the stand’s candy apple red and reads ‘Xtina’ in a tattoo script. Though the mic set was made specifically for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, Aguilera was so pleased with Boldman’s work that she is taking the mic set on tour.

Boldman took two days to finish the product and said that Aguilera was looking for the mic set to ‘match her red lips’. This is not the first time Boldman has created a unique design for Aguilera and does custom work for other celebrities including Lady Gaga and Tom Cruise.

At the Bob McCall Company in San Antonio, Texas, we refer Transtar primers and clearcoats for our custom built show cars and street rods. We use Transtar Epoxy because of its versatility. It may be used as a non-sanding DTM primer, a medium build surfacer or a tinted sealer, which may greatly enhance your final color. Euro Kwik Clearcoat is easy to use, repairable and provides a beautiful high gloss finish that maintains well.
