Håkan Lindberg is a self-taught custom bike painter who has made a big name for himself in this business, so seeing BMW Motorrad ask him to work on the Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation show bike should not be a surprise to anyone. The 51-year-old Swede has been doing custom paint jobs since the age of 16, and there are thousands of cars and bikes carrying his work around. Still, the "Mission: Impossible mission" put his skills to the test. Austrian Piers Spencer Phillips was the designer of the bike, and when the sketches arrived, Lindberg knew that this job would be tougher than the usual painting works he had done before. Piers Spencer had already decided that the Rogue Nation S1000RR would be red and black, but no other color specifications were made. This left Håkan with the major task of choosing which types of red and black were to be used. And as if this were not enough, the very short deadline for the completion of the bike put some extra pressure. "Although it was already decided that the bike would be black and red, I got to determine exactly what types of red and black it would be. The other challenges were the time in which we had to do it, in combination that it would be filmed, but the results went beyond even our expectations,"
