Will give you the short version as is It easy all depends if your handy doing this sort of stuff
First degrease item Scotch item Prime Wet flat Top coat Then you need water in a dipping tank heated to about 27c Lay film on water Spray activator on film (wait about a minute before spraying) Dip item on a angle through film Rinse clean Clear coat |

I've seen a bit of this on you tube but how durable is the finish on say motorbike petrol tanks or helmets.

This is great work and something I've been looking at trying on clear shells for a while now. From the steps you've described earlier, did you have to perform the same for the bodyshells? ie. scuff the surface, primer etc.? Also I assume you managed to get this onto the inside of the shells?
Any advice specific to how you did your shells would be great as I may take the plunge and try this out myself |
