Camo in 30 seconds

[John]

A mate of mine has started his own company doing hydrographics which is water dipping transfers, it's quite amazing to see it done, I took a Mirage for him to try, it still needs the underneath doing and a coat of varnish, but this took only seconds to do

I've found this video on youtube showing it being done

That's amazing john , I don't know if it could work for a specific camo patten but for general camo and even model car finishes it could be useful , well if your like me and struggle to get a decent gloss finish on a car it could.

I bet it's expensive though

The same technique is used on drum kits and guitar shells now, some amazing designs, any form of transfer can be used.

Si

It's not cheap and there is no way of telling where the design will go apart from masking it off, he's just done a bike fuel tank and mud guards, they look brilliant

Brilliant, now all we need is for someone to work out how to make it into a film we can float on water for a few seconds and then dip parts. It would be superb for metal and chrome finishes.

That's exactly how it works

Yeah thought as much these things never are mind you as Bari has mentioned it might work out affordable if it was in decal size strips
