In the coating industry, masking has become a fundamental part of the design process. This is especially true for one small job shop in Ohio. Joe Lillicrap went from being a flight crew scheduler to making his own schedule about two years ago when the airline reduced its workforce, and Lillicrap lost his job. He was at a trade show when he first saw a powder coated chopper frame in early 2001, and the concept piqued his interest. "But when you are making a living and the money is rolling in, there is not as much incentive to start a business from scratch," he says. It wasn't until he lost his job at the airline that he decided to enter the coating industry, and Wicked Designs was born. Located in Huber Heights, Ohio, Lillicrap specializes in a propriety powder coating application technique that utilizes masking to create unique designs.
