Custom Design Studios handled the molding and painting of the bike. After serious discussion with the other builders, they decided to paint the bike gold after the tattoos that Johnny had on his knuckles-Stay Gold. Kirk Taylor, owner of Custom Design Studios, shot multiple layers of House of Kolor Pagan Gold mixed with thick rainbow metalflake. Then he used gold leaf to spell out "Stay Gold" on both sides of the gas tank and striped it to keep clean edges. All that remained was a seat to match the rest of the bike. Bitchin' Seat Company designed a seat with a chromed seat pan stitched to a tooled white leather top cut so the edges of the pan are left exposed.
