  • "My name is Jerry Doe. I have been riding and restoring classic motorcycles for over 30 years. I own a 1973 Norton Commando Roadster. Recently I purchased an Interstate Tank from ebay and the paint was not as advertised. I decided to get a quick paint job. I found Brent through a yellow pages add. I called up and we did the deal. I shipped the tank over for him to get started. Brent finished my tank within a week and it is perfect. He used stencils and sprayed the pinstripes. The stripes and logo are completely flat. He painted the tank underneath and I have to say it is PERFECT. I recommend Brent's work! In fact I have developed a popular Norton Commando forum with 20,000 articles and will certainly recommend Brent to my forum memebers. On top of that he is a good guy to work with - Thanks Brent."

  • "Brent at The Vintage Vendor did an AWESOME job repainting the tank, side covers, rear cowl and front fender for my 1982 Honda CB650SC Nighthawk. I couldn't have asked for better at any price, though his prices are very reasonable. He matched the original "Cosmo Black Metallic" almost perfectly. He did an excellent job of cleaning up the bumps and blemishes of the parts before painting. The work on the striping is almost flawless. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for quality body and paint work."

  • Brent- Again, I cant thank you enough for the incredible service and sheer proffessionalism of your work.My Norton Commando looks better than new!! In this world of ebay scams and identity theft, it is refreshing to find someone who throws himself out there who just want to do an honest days work. Not to down play what you do, because it takes a true craftsman to create what you have done for me. I will look no further for my next source of paint work, as I plan to continue to restore motorcycles, I will continue to call on you as my paint pro. Many who follow you and this service on ebay can learn a great deal from how you treat the jobs you bring in. I was blown away by the extensive documentation of the work from start to finish. The best part was unwrapping the work once it had reached my eager hands. I would have expected to pay twice what I did when I finally opened the box and realised how much work was put in to my paint job.
    Regards,

  • I want to thank Brent at Vintage Vendor again for the fantastic paint job he did for my 1974 Kawasaki Z1. I could not believe how closely he was able to match the original paint. I could not be happier with the professionalism and the quality that I got from him. I would not think twice before referring him to anyone that was looking for a motorcycle to be painted! Thanks again Brent, fantastic job!!

  • Brent has done a really great job , helping me transform my 96 HD Sportster, into what I have been trying to get it to be. I sent him a raw tank and used front and rear fenders. He did just the bodywork needed, then painted them, and carefully packed them for shipping back to me. The parts arrived here within two weeks of when i had shipped them out to him (Georgia-to-Vermont-to-Georgia). I installed them on my bike, and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The Black-Cherry metallic paint job just shines in the sun, and anyone that has seen it has commented on HOW GOOD THE PAINT LOOKS. Brent was VERY easy to work with---and does JUST what he says he'll do. It's nice to find such integrity these days. HIGHLY RECOMMEDED!!!
    Thanks again Brent

  • Kudos to Brent Budgor for the excellent paint work recently completed on my Norton Commando Interstate gas tank and side covers. Pin stripping and placement of all decals was spot on which along with the paint work not only enhanced the look of the bike, but will surely add to its value. Only problem is now its the nicest Norton I have and my wife thinks I bought yet another bike! Thanks again, for the great work and excellent communication during the whole process.

  1. Brent, I tried to call you a couple of times today.(Thursday). I wanted to express to you how very pleased I am with the job you did on my 1920 Harley Davidson. Your communication from start to finish has been great! Your care and attention to detail are reflective in the finished product. I was like a kid on Christmas morning last night when I got home from the restaurant and found the boxes. I unwrapped everything and placed the Harley tins in the living room. This morning when the sun came in through the window, I was blown away! My wife, who never gets excited about motorcycles, loved the paint. Great color match! The fender braces and orig. battery box arrived today. I just wanted to let you know how I feel. It was a pleasure to do business with you and I am looking forward to getting my 1946 Indian parts together for you. Thanks again,

           Frank Catena

  •    Just recieved two sets of tanks that I sent out for Paint from Brent Budgor in Vermont. He does business as The Vintage Vendor and on ebay as vintage-vendor. Wow the stuff looks great. Side covers look great. Interstate tank looks fantastic. I saw his ads on ebay and looked. Then saw Jerry Doe's site and endorsement called and worked out a price with Brent. For any one in North East or East or any where for that matter, Brent should be checked when deciding on paint. For the North East guys plan at trip to Vermont, and go drop you stuff off, you meet Brent and develop a trust thing, (cool Ford Galaxie) you see his work and know that your stuff will come out great. You can then speak to him and mark out any custom stuff that you want, as I did. He will send you progress photos as things go on. When he sent the finished photos I felt like a kid at Christmas. I had Brent put a little Norton "N" on the front sportster style fender between the strips on the sides. I was very afraid that the N would be to large, it looks great, perfect size. I had Brent do a somewhat CNW style on one set and stock style on the other. I had him use double stripes throughout for 850 as opposed to single for 750. In my black w/ gold pinstripes he does the stuff up in full gold, applies stripes and decals, paints them black and removes stripes and decals. Then clear coats. You end up with a beautiful job that when you run your hands over is smooth with no bumps from decals. If you want dead on stock with raised decals, he can do that for you also, but why would you? (here comes the hate mail) I Caswell epoxy coated the tanks first before I sent them. Up to you and Brent. Nice guy, fair deal! PPG paints Photos of finished bike soon, I hope to God! Pretty much a CNW job on a budget. Jim Dalton FDNY
