| Always actively involved in motorcycles, from street to drag racing, Pete grew up in the motorcycle culture of San Francisco, California during the late sixties and early seventies. Realizing the overwhelming need for quality coatings, began his studies in the field of Polymer Chemistry coming to a more complex and deeper understanding of the paint, or light coatings industry, and applying this knowledge to his passion for motorcycles. |

| From the proper preparation of the substrate, (any coatable surface varying from aluminum to Fiberglass), Anti-corrosives, and a special lamination process for the purpose of building the proper paint job for the best possible results. |
|
| Always seeking the highest quality Epoxies, Poly Urethanes, Acrylic Urethanes, and carefully selected catalyzed paints and clear coats, together with a special method of application, eliminating the degeneration caused by varying atmospheric conditions, UV rays, or natural wear and tear usually associated with ordinary paints and finishes. |
| |
| With the guarantee, “We own your paint job until the substrate is moved or dented in anyway for the lifetime of your paint job”. And the dedication to adhesion and bonding of the paint to its surface creating the best and most stable coatings available in the market today. |

ARTISTICALLY SPEAKING
There have always been two kinds of motorcycle painters. The artist-turned-motorcycle painter, and the auto body man-turned-motorcycle painter. Until I came along, there was no in-between. Someone solely dedicated to motorcycles, and then further applying my knowledge of art into motorcycle painting, albeit, an informal training.
This has led me into the world of Prairie Prince. An artist formally trained at the San Francisco Art Institute. Prairie has brought in a wealth of knowledge and given us the best of both worlds. We put out very, very high end, high quality motorcycles, and now the artwork has become a spectacular part of the great success that we now share. |
