Dipping process

[Guest]

Anybody know how durable the dipping process ( putting the parts in a tank with the film/image floating on the surface?) is for motorcycle/auto parts?

Re: Dipping process

Its as durable as the clear you apply over the ink. I clear over these transfers all the time and without the right clear coat they wont stay in good condition very long.

Would you care to share some of that info? Like: what type/temp clear and for how long, ??$$ to get started and STAY going and where can get more info on doing this process?

I don't use a powder clear I use a two part clear coat sprayed from a HVLP gun. If you want to clear it with a powder I would use a low cure temp. clear. You can also contact powder by the pound and they can give you the information on extended cure schedules for curing standard clear at a lower temp.
