After more than three decades of delivering some of the most recognized custom paint work in the automotive industry, Frank Rechlin and Ikandypaintworks, Inc. is applying its expertise to a new category. The studio has officially launched Ikandykarkare, a premium automotive detail product line available directly through the Ikandypaintworks website. The line represents a natural extension of a career built on precision, quality, and an uncompromising standard of care for every vehicle that passes through the shop.
The logic behind the launch is straightforward. A custom paint job is only as good as the care it receives after it leaves the booth. For years, Frank and his team at Ikandypaintworks tested and used various products on their own vehicles and on client projects, always searching for formulations that met their exacting standards. Ikandykarkare was born from that process, Frank decided to create his own line through months of testing before offering products that the shop trusts enough to use on its own award-winning work.
And the credentials behind that work speak for themselves. Ikandypaintworks has accumulated over 100 best paint and best of show awards at events across the country. Frank has earned five best paint awards at Lonestar Throwdown, one of the largest and most competitive custom vehicle events in Texas. A best multicolor paint award at Texas Heatwave, also Mike Finnegan (Host of Roadkill) legendary “burnt taco” a multicolor award-winning Toyota Tacoma that landed top ten ever published in MiniTruckin magazine and top 100 of all time ever published in Truckin magazine. Best paint at the Dub show and Lowrider super show, he also painted one of the most noticed C10 trucks in the truck scene “Squarebody Syndicate” or “SS01” the truck that won the G.M. design award at Sema and Street Trucks truck of the year amongst many others all highlight mastery of complex color techniques that require exceptional skill and experience. Work from Ikandypaintworks has been showcased at Barrett-Jackson auctions, Mecum and Good Guys Rod and Custom shows, Grand National Truck show amongst others and over 25 vehicle features at the Sema Show and the Consumer Electronics show (CES) placing it in front of audiences who understand and demand the highest level of craftsmanship. Not only that, but Frank is also a PPG certified collision tech with over 25 years’ experience in that part of the industry as well.
More than 40 custom paint jobs have been published multiple times in leading automotive magazines, including Classic Truck Performance, Street Trucks, Mini Truckin, Truckin, Import Racer, Lowrider, Lowrider Euro, Truck hub, Lifted and Leveled, Super Street, C10 builders guide, CK, Hot Bike, Easy Rider, countless calendars and center folds and even multiple publications in Japan. Each published feature represents editorial recognition from industry professionals who evaluate hundreds of vehicles and select only those that exemplify the best in custom automotive work.
The shops most prominent placements include an award winning 1965 custom candy painted Lowrider impala nick named “Sunset 65” that was displayed at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles for a full year. The Petersen Museum is one of the premier automotive museums in the world, and a year-long exhibition there is a distinction that very few custom painters can claim. A custom bike painted by Frank Rechlin was also featured on Discovery Channel’s Biker Live years ago, demonstrating the range of work that Frank handles and the quality that attracts attention from television producers and media outlets.
A nomination for the Mini Truckin Hall of Fame further underscores the lasting impact Frank Rechlin and Ikandypaintworks has had on custom vehicle culture. The nomination recognizes contributions that have shaped the community and elevated standards within the industry over an extended period.
