The Woman Behind the Paint
I’m Keaton Lee, founder of Crazy K Kustomz, a premier custom paint studio based in Coeur d'Alene, ID. What began as a senior-year passion project in 2023 quickly evolved into an award-winning business celebrated for bold, intricate, and high-quality designs.
By the age of 18, my dedication to innovation and craftsmanship earned me first place at the Idaho State SkillsUSA Competition and a 4th-place finish at the SkillsUSA Nationals.
I launched Crazy K Kustomz while still in high school, turning my passion into a full-fledged business before graduation.
I specialize in custom paint across motorcycles, cars, trucks, helmets, wall art, and even vintage refrigerators. I am always pushing the boundaries of design to create pieces that tell a story.
At Crazy K Kustomz, it’s more than paint, it’s about bringing visions to life and inspiring others through creativity, skill, and craftsmanship.

While I’m grateful for the recognition my work has received, these awards and features are really a reflection of the countless hours, passion, and dedication poured into every project. Each piece I create is a learning experience, and I’m constantly inspired by the creativity of others in the custom paint community. At the end of the day, it’s not about the accolades, it’s about the joy of bringing ideas to life and sharing that excitement with everyone who appreciates the art.
