Custom painted Mazzer grinders

Hi,
Just a quick peek at a custom blue Mazzer mini for a customer, not quite finished yet...Need to take care of the feet, maybe blackbomb the fork and custom badge for the back

I love it! Is there a matching machine?

Looks great!

I would re-attach the Mazzer logo/serial number plate if I were you. You never know when you might want to sell it to upgrade.

Everything I've purchased in this hobby was done with the intent of keeping it forever. Yet I've upgraded grinders 4x and espresso machines 3x. I was going to decommission the ECM in favor of the Cremina, but I have been getting nicer cups from the ECM so I use the Cremina for a walkup shot. Is it ok to have two espresso machines?

Absolutely! If I had everything I wanted I would have two Linea Minis, 2 Majors, and 2 EK-43s... in my kitchen.

It provides a much better/cleaner finish when painting over the serial tag (I tried painting around it for a couple of earlier paintjobs and it never really looked any good)
Im going to place a copy of the serial inside the grinder along with the date burrs were changed.

Had a customer bring us a Mazzer Royal that had been used and abused. This is what happened over a couple of days...

Colour scheme: Red Candy over gold metalic. Custom ghost graphics

Out of the sun the paint looks pretty subdued, graphics are nearly invisible. When the sun catches it, things really start to pop!

Great job!

I wish you were closer, I am wanting to paint my EK43. Any tips?

I was thinking of having an automotive shop paint it. Or, I was also considering having it plasti-dipped.

Again, I love the custom colors - great way to add some flair to a coffee setup!

Thanks.
Plastidiping will give reasonable results with minimal prep to the surface but I found it did not wear well at all. The slightest ding would cause it to rip.
