Certified Auto Repair
My name is Ed, I'm the artist at Road Rage Graphics.
All of the pictures on this site are my artwork and it's
a small sample of what can be done. Located in
Philadelphia, PA and having well over 15 years of
custom airbrush experience, I specialize in high
quality artwork. Road Rage is an attempt to bring
together two of my interests, cool rides and killer
paintwork.
Besides painting, I have owned and wrenched on
musclecars & motorcycles. I also have experience
in bodywork and did all the underhood work to
both the Monte Carlo and Camaro pictured above.
Motor and transmission swaps through suspension
and paint, I did everything except the bottom end
of the motor myself. With the help of the boys at
Ungaro Brothers Racing, we added the steel
Cowl Induction hood scoop to the stock hood.

I was into working on cars and bikes long before I
ever picked up an airbrush and take custom rides
seriously. I'm not an artist that's trying to get into
bikes and cars to make money. I have always been
into it. Starting with trying to draw cars as soon as
I could hold a pencil and arriving at this point,
painting, owning and driving rides that are one of
a kind in design and quality. I enjoy doing other
things like fabricating metal or fiberglass parts
and polishing metal on my own rides in my free
time. Being involved with the things I paint helps
me bring more to each job.
There's nothing more cost effective than custom
paint to make your ride stand out. It's the one thing
others can't buy in a shop or mail order, making it
a one of a kind reflection of your personality. A lot
can be said for a nice, solid color paint job, but I
don't think you would be on this site if that's what
you wanted. Paint can make the bike, why not make
it incredible?
Please take the time to look at every motorcycle
paint and airbrush site you can find. Take note of
how many have large, clear, quality pictures of
portrait type work or realistic artwork. I have been
specializing in detail long enough to do high quality
artwork in the same time most others do fluff.
If considering detailed artwork, be sure to see
multiple examples from whoever you might want
to have do the work. Showing multiple examples
allows the customer to see consistent quality. Many
places can show a few good pieces of artwork, look for
someone that can show many.
The average turnaround for a detailed bike design,
depending on workload, is 3 weeks. I get things
done to my satisfaction in a reasonable time frame
and give that time frame up front. If there is a delay,
I will let you know right away and not suddenly
become unavailable.
There's more to choosing someone to do your
artwork than looking at flashy business cards and
overdone websites. Please take a good look at the
quality of the artwork, especially the detailed work.
This tells the story and helps avoid problems when
it comes to tattooing your ride. I want satisfied
customers more than anything else and am willing
to spend the extra time to make sure you are happy
with the results.
Why be one of the crowd?
Let your imagination run wild, just about anything
is possible.
I appreciate all the feedback. Due to a
busy schedule, I am only able to paint
smaller vehicle projects like cycles,
tailgates, hood murals. At this point I
cannot take on painting entire car or
truck projects.

the time to see the artwork that has inspired me, and a generation of
artists, to constantly raise our standards. Seeing his artwork in
person is incredible.

everywhere. It's a great ride, for a great cause. The last 2 pics say it all.

well worth it for the kids.
