Pacific Muscle Cars “The SATA reputation and deliverable on the product is amazing, we are super happy.”

PMC is a SATA shop, Patrick has a full complement of spray guns, including a pair of primer guns; SATAjet 100 B HVLP and a SATAjet 100 B P for polyester primer. As they mostly spray solvent, a versatile SATAjet 1500 RP SoLV is his dedicated topcoat gun. A SATAjet X 5500 RP 1.3 “I” nozzle is used for clear and a SATAminjet 4400 B RP is a workhorse for small touch ups.

Why SATA, “we were using a competitor‘s guns when we started looking into SATA. After visiting your booth at SEMA we decided to make the change over to SATA guns. We started three years ago and love them. PMC is now a fully equipped SATA shop. By the way, you guys always have a really kick-ass booth.

I have a second painter on board now and he is being outfitted the SATA way, he uses my guns but is slowly acquiring his own collection. The reputation and deliverable on the product is amazing, we are super happy.”

PMC has a primer room set up for prepping bodywork and coating smaller PMC in Kelowna British Columbia has been a builder of custom muscle cars and trucks since 2008. SATA Canada had the opportunity to speak with Patrick Garuk, president & owner at Pacific Muscle Cars and ask him about how he got his start, current projects, television and of course his preference in refinish equipment.

PMC is not a high-volume shop; they produce about four or five award winning builds per year. And yes, there is a waiting list.

As Patrick explains it, “we have always been a custom car shop. We started small and stayed small until about five years ago when we moved into our larger location and were able to focus on doing complete in-house builds.”

The roots of PMC are family, “I came from a car family; my brother owned a body shop. I was sort of raised in the trade you could say. I worked at his shop and then eventually moved over to building and restoring cars myself.

It has been a gradual self-taught process; I have Red Seal staff on board with me now, but for me it has been a combination of guidance and mentoring from my brother and 35 years of practical experience.”

components, featuring a SATA 284 filtration and SATA air vision 5000 breathing protection.

PMC engineers and builds it cars from the ground up, “we do everything except upholstery, we do a full chassis using aftermarket suspension components and a Coyote or LS swap. Where we really shine is on custom metal work and paint. It is our specialty and where our builds really stand out.”

“it’s as clean and white as any paint booth. I like to keep the shop looking good, we charge a fair amount to our customers and when they come in to see progress on their project, the shop should present as well as their car is going to look at the end of the day.”

PMC builds are commissioned in advance, there is a year and a half wait list.

According to Patrick, they turn away 50% of the inquiries as, “we are fortunate enough to be a in a position where we can pick and choose the work that we enjoy.”

For completes, PMC uses the downdraft booth of the family owned CSN bodyshop next door, it too has a SATA filtration system.

Patrick has one additional SATA gun that doesn’t see any time in the booth, “I was one of the first to buy the SATAjet X 5500 Bored & Stroked special edition. Funny story, my SATA Business Development Specialist (BDS), Mike Murphy had one reserved for Mike Hall of Rust Valley Restorations. Mike let me review it on Instagram, after that I had to get one of my own.

I am afraid to unpack it, I don’t want to wreck it. I can see that a lot of work went into the design, it is probably going to sit on the shelf as a conversation piece.”

PMC‘s latest masterpiece is the restomod Hell Charger, a 68 Dodge Charger, like in Bullitt, but this one has late model Hellcat motivation and a stunning House of Kolor candy burgundy paintjob.

“The paint is a custom mix, I like to call BC wild cherry as the owner is from the Okanagan area.”

“The Charger is a massive car and was super difficult to do but turned out awesome. As the Charger has a candy finish, we ended up painting it as a

Reduced Material Flow at the push of a button!

Quick Material Regulator.

SATA QMR APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES Time and again, spraying passes with a smaller quantity of material are required during painting. Experienced professionals control this by not pulling the trigger all the way through. Another option is to slightly tighten the material quantity screw as specified by the paint manufacturer.

SATA offers another practical and, above all, precise solution - especially for work processes that repeatedly require a reduced material quantity.

The SATA QMR (Quick Material Regulator) allows a pre-setting of a reduced material discharge quantity, which can be called up quickly, precisely and reproducible at the push of a button. With the release function, the painter can switch back to full material flow within seconds.

The QMR is easily and cost-effectively installed on the following spray guns: SATAjet X 5500, SATAjet 5000 B, SATAminijet 4400 B, SATAjet 1000 Series and SATAjet 100 Series. It is mounted on the gun instead of the material flow screw.

One potential application is the metallic basecoat effect. Depending on the manufacturer‘s specifications, it may be necessary to apply a reduced amount of material. The QMR not only makes it possible to quickly choose the lower amount of material; it is also consistent throughout.

Another area of application is using a coloured clearcoat over the basecoat to achieve a specially brilliant depth effect. In this case, the processing specifications of the paint manufacturer are also decisive.

A smaller amount of material can also be useful when painting difficult-toaccess and angled components in order to avoid applying too much paint.

In general, the little helper performs well wherever less material is required, especially when switching frequently between standard and reduced material quantities.

“Like anything in life that is worth going after, you have to work hard. You must be committed to it and persevere, because you will stumble a lot, but hopefully learn a lot too.

I keep in touch with other custom shops across Canada, it is a struggle but once you break through and have that following and have a great team working with you, it is very rewarding.

complete, a big car is exhausting in the booth, you get a good work out.”

The Charger has recently been the subject of a photoshoot for some national magazines and is scheduled to make its debut with another vehicle PMC is working on at next year’s Canadian Motor Show in Vancouver.

When asked about their most challenging paint jobs Patrick had the answer at his fingertips, the custom 1956 Ford COE for Avery at Rust Valley Restorations.

“The COE is one that sticks out in my mind. We have done two seasons with Rust Valley, working on projects with Avery and with Mike. The premise within the show is to help them out doing work that they are not equipped to do. It has been very interesting.”

“The cabover CEO was Avery’s project and he had been struggling with finishing it. The restomod truck was large build in a short period of time. I think we did two years’ worth of work in two and a half months, we had 10 people going 12 hours a day, seven days a week to finish on time.

Apart from all the metal work, the paint job was fairly complicated itself. Very difficult to align three different colors over multiple body panels with a stripe that flows from the sleeper cab, through the doors onto the hood and around.

Parts had to come off and on, quite an ordeal.”

SATA asked Patrick his advice to other painters who want to do custom work,

I had a small collection of restored muscle cars but sold them all to expand the business, but now I am at the point where I am building one for myself.

A cool 1969 Mustang wide body with a supercharged Coyote engine. I will never go so long again without a muscle car in the garage.

Now what am I going to do for paint?”

WARDC SATA spray equipment is known and respected across multiple and varied industries. Over the years the SATA Canada newsletter has published stories of loyal SATA users in the collision, woodworking and industrial sectors. A new story even to us is the use of a SATA gun to service giant mobile cranes.

Brian Rigo, SATA Canada’s Service and Repair Specialist received a SATAjet 3000 K spray mix but not through the official distributor repair program.

Contacted directly by the customer, Bruce Ward, owner and president of Ward Crane. The SATAjet 3000 K came not from a SATA distributor but as standard equipment with a Grove eight axle mobile crane built in Wilhelmshaven, Germany.

Ward Crane has a five, six and eight axle Grove all terrain cranes with telescoping arms that can reach up to 120 m (400 ft.) in height. Located in West Hill, Toronto, Ward Crane has been busy for the last 50 years serving the construction industry.

“The primary use for our equipment”, says Bruce, “is the installation, and sometimes removal of HVAC units on the top of office towers and condominiums.”

After disassembly and repair estimation, Brian realized that this was not any standard SATAjet 3000 K. The spray gun had a hardened carbide tip and other components, there was no documentation of the model variation in the catalogue.

As Bruce explained, the SATAjet 3000 K was used not for painting but for spraying grease. “The trouble was that grease was just leaking out of nozzle, handle and anywhere it could escape from the gun.”

Any leakage was problem but especially so as the grease used to lubricate the crane boom pads is proprietary to Grove and extremely expensive. The cost is approximately $4,000 for 25 kg pail of the grease.

For those of you with acrophobia, don’t worry the servicing is done while the cranes are not extended.

It was extremely important that the SATAjet 3000 K was working properly as, “we just have the one SATA gun, to service all four Grove machines. The booms must be serviced every six months. We can’t use regular grease as it would wear the pads on the booms. Using the SATA gun with the grease means that you hardly have any waste at all”.

The non-standard gun meant a lack of documentation, requiring Brian to reverse engineer the gun to determine the custom components. It took a couple of attempts and travelling on site to witness the boom service procedure in-person.

The issue turned out to be a damaged material connection and seal retainer that Brian was able to replace and the SATAjet 3000 K is back in regular service.

The smile on Bruce’s face in the selfie tells the story, “Brian was very helpful, absolutely top notch no question about it, he knows those guns inside and out”.

VéloColour PAINTING THE BICYCLES OF YOUR DREAMS From the last unit on a secluded industrial estate in Toronto comes a myriad of beautiful and perfect paint jobs, in demand the world over.

As the name suggests, Vélocolour paints bicycles, but that would be a simplification. The work of Noah Rosen, partner Suzanne Carlsen, and additional full-time painter Elodie; encompasses restoration of vintage racing bikes through to bespoke designs and artwork.

A common refrain from anyone visiting their facility is that their work should grace the walls of a gallery instead of roads or mountain trails.

Vélocolour can be found at 191 Weston Rd. occupying a former body shop, equipped with a full-size paint booth. Unlike their curious neighbors, a mix of auto garages and collision shops, Vélocolour can fit fifty projects, while the shops next door are constantly shuffling cars.

Noah Rosen started the company in 2008 after working for one of the founding fathers of the custom bike world.

“I didn’t really know anything about painting, I didn’t even know that bicycle painting was a real job at that point. I had come from an art background, having studied ceramics and sculpture but he thought I would be good at it.

He gave me the opportunity to learn how to paint. I had access to a spray booth and some rather old spray guns, it was a basic set up, over 20 years old even then. I stayed many late nights, learning how not to screw things up.”

A Best Paint win at the 2009 North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS), for his restoration of a 1951 Cinelli racing bike, put Vélocolour on the map.

“It was only the third or fourth year of the show, it really started exploding as I was getting into the business. Suddenly, I was considered one of the best painters in N. America. But it takes years to get good. I don’t think it was that good now, but the bike was interesting, and the paint was OK.” Initially the shop leaned towards restoration but over the years they have done more design work, till where, now 75% of their jobs are custom paint on more modern steel, titanium and carbon bikes.

The team at Vélocolour has developed a unique esthetic that compliments the 4 cm diameter tube surface they have to work with.

“Suzanne and I, coming from art backgrounds have our own stylistic boundaries, years ago I said no flames, skulls, or spider webs. Our look is more illustrative, fine lines and geometric patterns. Stylistically we are very different from automotive custom painters. The stuff that works on cars or even motorcycles doesn’t translate to bicycles.”

The paint work on the frames, whether vintage steel or modern high-tech carbon is a study in precision and perfection. Custom paint jobs that have taken over thirty hours are sent back to the stripping tank if the lines in the design are not clean enough.

As Noah explains, “it is a choice we make, our customers are shipping bikes from around the world, and they expect our best work. The customer is very close to the finished product, they could be staring at the frame for a four or five hour bike ride, so there can’t be even one imperfection.”

An example of Vélocolour’s unique vision is the maple leaf themed bikes created for Canada’s mountain bike team at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics as well as work for the Norco factory team.

Noah has a collection of SATAminijet 4400 B guns, all HVLP technology using 1.0 and 1.2 nozzles and SATA adam 2 digital displays.

“When I started painting, I decided to buy a good gun and that was the SATAminijet, it was worth it, I used it for everything. Now we have five SATAminijets, it’s a good gun that does everything we ask of it. We also use SATA RPS, very useful and can be used for paint storage. They are amazing, they work well.”

Vélocolour uses many of the same paint materials as the automotive refinish industry, epoxy primers, water-based topcoats and low VOC clears. “They may not have been designed for painting bikes, but we have honed our procedures over time that allow us to create beautiful paint jobs that will last for years in a real world cycling environment.”

One area where they do deviate from typical automotive applications is the use of a very hard Imron clear coat. Hard to polish but chip resistant, the clear coat also prevents impressions from bubble wrap when bike frames are packaged up for weeks at a time and shipped to customers in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Asia and even Australia.

The average price for a Vélocolour paint job is between $1,800 to 2,600, depending on the number of colours, graphics and details. More complex custom jobs can cost up to $5,000.

“The whole bike industry, has exploded, people are prepared to spend a lot more on their bikes. Some of the frames we paint are part of high-end race builds that might be $40,000 when they are complete.”

The shop has a six month wait list; the team is dedicated to getting customers projects done on a tight schedule.

Vélocolour needed an additional painter to keep up with demand, “we tried to hire artists, people in the bike industry but we couldn’t find anyone who could work at the level we needed until we found Elodie.

She had a background in painting race car helmets, still it took a few years to get her up to speed where she can fully work through a project start to finish. Painting multiple skinny over lapping tubes is very tricky compared to the smooth surface of a helmet.”

“Suzanne”, says Noah, “is our designer and she really runs the show, I’m just middle management now.”

Take the time to check out Vélocolour’s Instagram page or velocolour.com and enjoy the bicycles of your wildest dreams.
