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.
Client Reviews
“Keaton was so amazing to work with! From design to finish product she was professional and awesome! If you’re looking for a one of a kind project her attention to detail is unlike anything I have ever seen before! 10/10”
“10/10 custom work! My helmet turned out amazing and was everything i wanted and more! Would recommend Keaton’s work to anyone looking for paint work.”
“Not only does she do immaculate full custom paint jobs! Everything that I’ve had painted from her has turned out absolutely beautiful! Her price point reflects the result that you will get!! Great painters aren’t cheap and cheap painters aren’t great. I truly believe that if there is something that you want done the right way, she is the one to do it! Paint matched a couple things of mine, including the most recent set of tail lights, and I couldn’t be more thankful!”
“Searched around the PNW for a legit custom paint job for my helmet and found crazy k kustomz. Where a lot of other painters were limited in some areas in applications, Keaton said she would make it happen very happy with the end results. Plan on using her in the future again, with her valued cost and phenomenal craftsmanship I don’t doubt she will start to book out once the word gets out about her skills.”
“I can’t suggest Crazy K Customs enough! An amazing business ran by the most talented painter I’ve ever met! Keaton brings people’s visions to life! She’s the consummate professional. Can’t wait to have her paint another project for us! You can count on a positive experience here!”
