In an age where pretty much everything is computerized, especially the mass production of goods, Royal Enfield is doing things a little differently. Carrying on an age-old tradition, the legendary bike company still uses real life painters to adorn their fuel tanks with some hand-painted goodness. In fact, they were even nice enough to put out a video demonstrating the process in which these tanks are painted.
Simply watching one of these tanks being painted, with its slick design, authentic production and sheer passion makes you want to get one of these bikes yourself.
The painters have been doing this for over 15 years, and have become so precise with their brush strokes that their tank designs are consistently flawless and are never rejected.
The unique handcrafted build and the instantly recognizable pinstripes are an integral part of the machine, and they're also the reason the bike is such a beloved part of the Indian community. The arrival of vinyl and vinyl cutters hailed a transition from using painters to using machines, but the Enfield community still uses these steady-handed painters, something that's a pleasure to watch.

There's something strangely heartwarming about knowing that your favorite bike-makers still put so much effort and heart into making their machines. A human touch can put so much more into your brand and image than an automated brush can.
