Mint Custom Lab

Best for riders who want a proper custom respray or wrap and are willing to plan around a small bespoke shop. Bring reference images and a clear idea, then leave room for the owner to refine the design against the bike's lines. Not the place for a rushed touch-up while you wait. Book the slot, drop the parts, and expect updates while the work is on the bench.

The lowdown. Custom paint and wrap shop in Kaki Bukit, tucked into Premier@Kaki Bukit on Ave 4. The work is bike-focused: full respray jobs, custom colour schemes, fairing finishing and bespoke makeovers worked out with the owner before the gun comes out. Class 2 machines and smaller bikes both go through the booth. Walk-in is awkward given the unit; message ahead and book the slot.

What riders say. Paint is the whole job here. Riders bring in tanks, fairings and full bikes for respray and custom colour, and the finish gets called out repeatedly: smooth, glossy, no uneven spots, tight on the small details. Turnaround is quick when scheduled properly, with one Super 4 respray turned around in four days. The owner runs the brief himself and sends progress updates through the build, which is the part repeat customers keep coming back for. Custom design work is a real strand, not just colour matching: bring an idea and expect adjustments to suit the silhouette of the bike before paint goes down.

What began as an ideation from my end was skillfully executed by Mint to perfection.

No complaints have surfaced about the finish or the handover. The shop leans bespoke, so plan around lead time rather than walking in expecting a same-week slot.
