Piers Dowell has been Custom
Painting since 1992. He started, as most painters did, just
doing a few helmets for friends. This didn’t take long to
turn into a steady stream and now he’s probably painted in
excess of 2000. Piers no longer takes on crash helmets as
the extremely high quality of his work means he now
concentrates mainly on Custom
Motorcycles & Guitars. It became quickly apparent that
Piers’s ability to paint very realistic and accurate
murals became a trademark of his work. Something at
which he is simply world class.
He has moved from the old Barn in which learned his trade, not to mention froze himself half to death, to a purpose built facility at his home in Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire. It is probably the best equipped workshop of its kind in the country. It contains a state of the art low bake oven, sanding rooms and separate plush office area.
Some time ago Piers adopted the attitude that it takes as long as it takes to make the job as good as he can possibly make it. Therefore his work is done to a quality not a price. He works on his own and so is in control of all aspects of his business especially quality!
Custom bikes that Piers has painted have taken Best Paint and Best in Show awards at just about every major show in Britain and Europe. His work is owned by the likes of Jean Todt of Ferrari and Rio Ferdinand of Manchester United and he has painted helmets for some of the biggest names in Motorsport.
A keen motorcyclist, Piers’s project Dreadnought has achieved almost legendary status despite the fact he hasn’t finished it yet! Piers also achieved a life long ambition to win a British Championship when he won the British Classic Scrambles Championship in 2006.
Piers lives with his wife Diann who is a pillar of support and his daughter Phoebe born in 2004.
