Happy 60th birthday to Jeff "Da Bat" Miller! Jeff has painted more Factory Fives than anybody I know, and has helped probably 10 times as many. In 2015, Jeff made me this cool custom surf board for the Huntington Beach Cruise-In. For more than 20 years, Jeff has been a fixture in the Factory Five community. He is one of the best painters in the car business, and a better man you won't find. Da Bat is 60 today!

Woohoo! Happy Birthday Jeff. I've been a member of this community for barely half a year but in that time I've learned a lot from your posts and appreciate your contribution to the community. Celebrate well!

Happy birthday Jeff. Hope you find that perfect balance of Rum and paint fumes to make the day memorable. Well, memorable is out of the question, let’s settle for fun.

OMG! Hide the rum kegs! Oh, anything else resembling an "libation". This Inland Empire should be on guard. Bats will be flying high tonight!!!

Happy Birthday Jeff.
And thanks for being there for the birth of my Yellow roadster.in 2006. You didn't want to paint it yellow but said OK when I let you pick the gray race stripe, the best decision we both made, and for the repairs and color match when I put her into the tire barriers at Thunderhill, she now looks better than new.
It is not every vender you develop a close friendship with, thanks for being one of the best.

Mr. Miller,

Happy 60th From Slidell Louisiana!
60 seems so young since I'm now 56.
Hope to meet you one day.

Happy Birthday to the man that almost painted my car, but was still instrumental in revealing the paint codes for the black 33 he did to get my coupe done!
