HYDROGRAPHICS How did they do that!

Postby robracer » Fri Oct 12, 2012 12:46 pm

Ever wondered how a design is applied to a helmet? the method shown here is a simplified version, but basically a water transfer is digitally printed then carefully
left in a bath ready for aplication........ obviously a final process is clear coat to finish but is not shown here in the video. We are looking into possibly doing this on a small scale
as we already have the digital technology, & its easier than vinyl wrapping 8)

When you get this up and running Rob can you try dipping someone's head in it? Now that would be cool
