Just a quick post about a recent project I worked on. For the International Pizza Expo we gave away a custom painted pizza mixer. This beauty is a HL662 Hobart pizza mixer. It has a custom paint job reminiscent of a vintage hot rod, complete with the Hobart Logo from that era. We met a real nice guy named Terry McCall from McCall Custom Colors in Kettering, Ohio, who did the paint job. Even close up this is one sweet machine. It was the hit of the show. People wanted their pictures taken with it...I'm sure it was the most photographed item there.
The guy who won was a real nice pizza operator from St Paul, Minnesota. 30 year old Hobart mixer, and in the business 20 years. He couldn't have been happier. Enjoy the pictures.

I must leave my comment and close this window quickly, before my husband sees this and rushes us out to get one (I know it is a custom job, but he will yearn). Great fun and great paint job, gthat. It makes my wee KitchAid look, well, rather tame! Cheers.

I stumbled upon your (very old) post today. I wish I could find someone in Lincoln, Nebraska to customize my 2 hobart mixers - sweet! Thanks for posting the pictures. I'm on the hunt now...
