The KKBO Podcast

It’s the usual chaos with Jake, Josh and Matt, this time sat down with the brains behind Retro Refits — talking all things trims, restorations, and bringing knackered interiors back from the dead without making them look overdone.

We get into how it’s actually done, what people get wrong, and why some jobs should just be left to someone who knows what they’re doing.

Bit of knowledge, bit of graft, bit of taking the piss.

If you like your motors with some character instead of showroom nonsense, this one’s worth a listen.

This month we’re diving back into the world of airbrush with another cracking episode for the artists and paint slingers out there. We’re joined by Andy from the UK Airbrush Forum, a seriously talented artist with a brilliant story behind how he got to where he is today.

Andy’s work has even landed him alongside Richard Hammond on The Smallest Cog, and in this episode he talks us through his journey into airbrush, the lessons he’s picked up along the way, and a load of practical tips and tricks for anyone looking to improve their paint game.

We get stuck into tools, techniques, mindset, and what it really takes to make it in the world of custom paint.

Josh briefly disappears mid-episode for what can only be described as an emergency toilet hiatus…

If you’re into kustom paint, airbrush, or just love hearing the stories behind the artists in the scene, this one’s worth your time.

Episode 4 is pure KKBO chaos. The lads are back talking threats (the friendly kind) and updates, including our ongoing tradition of half-jokingly threatening brands until they sponsor us — yes, Dixxon Flannel, we’re looking at you.

We get into proper KKBO updates too: the new tattoo area moving inside the main marquee, why it’s a big win for artists and punters alike, and what it means for the weekend as a whole. Expect behind-the-scenes chat, daft ideas, real plans, sponsor name-drops, and the usual KKBO waffle that somehow turns into a solid event.

For the Christmas special, me, Josh and Matt headed to Matchbook Custom and sat down with Matt and Melissa from Matchbook.

We talk about the show from their point of view, powder coating, and Matchbook’s move into their new building, covering what’s been going on at Matchbook and what’s coming next. Recorded on site at Matchbook Custom.

This month on the KKBO Podcast, we hit the road to Shadow Bridge Brewery in Scunthorpe — and, yes, somehow ended up drinking coffee and tea in a brewery.
Jake and Josh were on the caffeine, Matt stuck to his royal brew, and all three of us were parked in front of the bar talking Kustom Kulture, events, bikes and nonsense.

Good company. Great venue. Absolutely no consistency in drink choices.
Jump in and have a laugh with us!

The dust has finally settled after Kustom Kulture Blast Off 2025 — and the lads are back in the garage to relive the madness. From the killer bands and wild rides to the sleepless nights and behind-the-scenes carnage, Jake, Matt, and a severely sleep-deprived Josh break down everything that went down at this year’s show. Expect laughs, stories you probably shouldn’t hear, and a few hints at what’s coming next year.

Grab a brew (or something stronger), hit play, and join the chaos. 🔥

It’s Jake and Josh holding the fort this time while Matt’s off duty – which means things get a little… unhinged. We dive into the Lincoln Tattoo Convention, spin off into all kinds of random kustom kulture rambling, and basically try to keep the wheels from completely falling off. Grab a brew (or a beer) and come hang out.

Jake, Josh and Matt are back at it again for Episode 10, and yep – as the title suggests, we’re feeling every bump in the road.

This month we’re chinwagging about the shows we’ve been grafting at, the people we’ve bumped into, and the usual dose of kustom kulture chaos. Expect nonsense, name drops, bad opinions, and probably a few off-mic swear words we forgot to cut out.

No script, no filter — just three knackered blokes rambling about bikes, art, and why hardtail chops might look cool, but they absolutely murder your spine.

Stick it on. You know the drill.

This week we’re joined by Bex from the UK Airbrush Forum for a proper art-heavy episode full of custom paint chat, lowbrow legends, and questionable life choices 🎨🔥

Matt drops a few tales from Cromford Car Night, Josh gives us the lowdown on his new website build, and Jake updates us on the latest antics with Hank the Tank—his monstrous ’61 Apache.

It’s all brushes, burners, and bullshit in the best way. Crack a cold one, have a listen, and get stuck in.

🎟️ KKBO tickets still rolling—grab yours before they’re gone!

This week its just Jake, Matt and Josh talking plans for the KKBO Live Podcast, The rise of terrifying AI art, and why letting Josh tattoo Jake's arse might be the worst idea since NFTs. Expect laughs, mild panic and no actual planning
