Paint Misbehavin’ (HQ) Full Show

HARD Lifestyle — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:28:02 +0000

It was two years ago on June 25th, 2009 that TLC Discovery Channel aired Paint Misbehavin’, a reality based show TV pilot featuring HARD Lifestyle’s own Steve Flanagan and his team of “paintsters”. Packed with explosions and excitement, Steve and his crew reveal the latest paint technologies through the eye of a Hollywood style presentation filmed by Michael McNamara of MCfilmworks.

In this first episode, Paint Misbehavin’ introduces two very unique paints that are sure to change the way one looks at the paint world. With over a decade of being immersed in the custom paint world and working with the latest paint technologies, Steve demonstrates a fireproof paint that can withstand temperatures in excess of 1,200° F which can be used to treat wood and metal in the housing and industrial sector to protect homes and buildings from the devastating effects of fire. But if that is not amazing enough, Steve also introduces a paint that changes color via temperature and builds a one of a kind cop car that can instantly, from the flip of a switch, change from an unmarked unit to a fully marked cop car with lights flashing, sirens screaming and all the markings of a police unit.

Without any further ado, we are happy to bring you this exciting show in full (HQ) via our friends at YouTube. Please check out this pilot and visit www.hardlifestyle.com for other custom paint technologies and celebrity projects Steve of HARD Lifestyle has had the privilege of taking part in.

Story by: Tampa Sports Car Examiner – Michael Berenis

Exotic car paint is not just limited to high price Ferrari, Lamborghini, and other various makes. Specialty exotic paints can be used on any sports car or custom vehicle project that you desire. There has been some amazing new technology developed in the paint world recently, let me introduce you to “Hard Lifestyle“. Hard Lifestyle features the latest in exotic car paint technology and offers top of the line customization processes.

The choice of famous folks, and also featured on TLC’s “Paint Misbehavin” assures all prospective customers that they are getting top of the line quality, extensive ingenuity, and a well known name behind each project. You may have seen vehicles completely covered in chrome, such as rap music star 50 cent’s Lamborghini, or other famous custom jobs such as Kotton Mouth Kings Lou Dog’s trike, Ice T’s Bentley GT, Snoop Dogg’s chrome and gold footballs, Korn’s Fieldy ’64 Impala, and Gwen Stefani’s Gold Tahoe. These are all projects completed by Steve Flanagan of Hard Lifestyle! See slide show below for examples of these projects.

This unique paint process creates a mirror like surface that can be applied to many surfaces! Chroming cars is just one level this paint can satisfy, your imagination is the next. They also offer other paints by Imperial Surface Technologies that create unique surface types such as “Shrapnel” which emulates brushed aluminum, machine turned, and raw aluminum. These rugged appearances create a defining image on any application. For use on wood surfaces, their new paint technology “Inferno” prevents wood from burning. Exposed to the likes of a flame thrower and propane cannons, the layer of paint just smolders and does not allow the wood to burn.

These new exotic paints are an example of how amazing Hard Lifestyle’s paint technology can truly be when applied to the right project. Other paint types include heat reactive which when heat is applied it can change colors or reveal custom designs underneath, distortion which is a color shifting powder held within the paint, krinkle which produces a marble or snakeskin like finish, kashmir which emulates velvet appearance for a soft touch, and multiple types of clear coat based on your preference.

Los Angeles on Fire

HARD Lifestyle — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:05:02 +0000

In an effort to bring awareness to the devastating effects of fire, we have put together a collage of images and videos of the most recent Los Angeles fires. With the potential millions of dollars in damage, it only makes sense to protect your home and keep your family from losing everything. Re-evaluate what you can do to prevent being another statistic. At HARD Lifestyle we understand the importance of fire prevention and have introduced a NEW tool not available to the public until recently. We are talking about Inferno Fireproof Paint. Yes paint can and has been formulated to stop fire in its tracks therefore protecting your valuable property from being destroyed in the event of a fire.

Inferno Fireproof Paint has been recently put to the test on Discovery Channel’s TLC show “Paint Misbehavin” where Steve Flanagan of HARD Lifestyle used an arsenal of fire implementing tools to attempt to burn down a wooden structure (representing a home) that had been coated with the Inferno Fireproof Paint. With each attempt at burning though the Inferno coating, and with temperatures easily reaching 2000 degrees F the crew of HARD Lifestyle proved without a doubt that this product does exactly what it was designed to do, no matter what the instrument of destruction used.

After viewing these fire images, be sure to check out the Inferno Fireproof test clip at the bottom of the post and see for yourself how a simple coat of PAINT can keep you, and your family from losing everything in such a devastating event.

212 MPH Lamborghini

HARD Lifestyle — Wed, 20 May 2009 22:52:16 +0000

The NEW Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SV SuperVeloce had its debut at the Geneva Auto Show and after watching the video they presented we felt it was only fitting to label it HARD. With its 6.5-litre V12 tweaked to 670 horsepower engine it will devour concreter for breakfast and asphalt for lunch. The LP 670-4 SV model is loaded with super light weight materials all around and can go from 0-62mph in only 3.2 seconds and reach an incredible top speed of 212 mph.
The look of the car is more aggressive than its predecessor, with a more angular front fascia, hood vents near the A-pillars, gloss-black wheels, large rear bumper protrusions, and a choice of two rear wings.

The exterior will feature a lot of carbon fiber, with the whole lower body being comprised of matte-black CF to offset by the upper body’s gloss black paint.

A big “SV” vinyl will be an option, but carbon ceramic brakes are standard and sit behind unique 18-inch wheels wearing Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires.

There’s also an all-new ultra-light exhaust system, complete with a wider tailpipe for an even louder sound.

The interior of the Murcielago SV is dressed in Alcantara and comes with a set of lightweight carbon-fiber bucket seats. The door panels are also clad in carbon fiber, as is the wide center tunnel.
