About Us

Dave Connery has been in business since 1978. A natural artist, he attended and graduated from OCA’s (Ontario College of Art) program for gifted children. His prolific posters in high school led to working as a sign writer at Bay Bloor Signs and the legendary Miya Graphics where he honed his lettering abilities. His love of fast cars & motorcycles led to a spin off business of customizing them and mastering the airbrush. Dave also owns and rides one of Canada’s fastest funny bikes in professional drag-racing.

John Connery got into painting as a result of Dave’s spin-off business and promptly distinguished himself as one of Canada’s best painters, with credits for some of the wildest cars and bikes ever produced locally. He has worked as a technical paint rep for Herbert’s Standox, PPG and House Of Kolor. An avid car enthusiast, John always has a fast ride. You can read his advice columns on painting at customkolorcanada.com and canadianrodder.com.

Vic Lefebvre has been doing our bodywork for over 25 years and is a fully licensed bodyman (and former Autobody Instructor). In addition to be able to fix just about anything (including plastics, fiberglass and metal), he is also a capable fabricator and customizer and was responsible for the body work on Cliff Randall's "Chromeless Cruiser" VTX among others. Vic has always had a Harley which he takes everywhere. View a picture of the Chromeless Cruiser here!
