jamesdean Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 well guys ive been wantin to wrap certain parts of my car and after going to the modified nationals a few weeks ago, hydrograpics seems to be the better way to go! the great thing is there so many pattens out there. although its more expensive. i thought id buy the stuff and give it ago. so waiting on my order to arrive and ill let you know how it goes. if anyones done this before, hints and tips would be nice lol.

BulletMagnet Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I went for vinyl on parts of my Zed because: - vinyl method is cheaper - vinyl method is reversible without any residue I guess hydrographics will have a better finish since it lacquered. But should you feel like a change it will be a costly endeavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 i have some parts due out in the next week or so just waiting on the finish. its not as easy as it looks the films are very temperature sensitive and if you don;t get the release agent right can be temepremental, same with the timings. allowing correct soak time with rinse time. also be aware that these times change with the water temperature. what paint are you using? fims can be temerpmental with 1k paints. 2k are better, also if oging 1k there is a time limit on how long you can leave it between painting and dipping. best of luck look forward to seeing your efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
