Grebel Posted January 15, 2014 Share Slightly off topic here, but if you can spray the Plastidip with the aerosol kit then you should be able to spray it with a normal spray gun? (With the same thinning solvent and ratio) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(With the same thinning solvent and ratio) Not off topic at all. Yup, it's preferred to use a proper spray gun system (like an HVLP) to apply the plastidip. I don't have that equipment available, so went with the Preval system. I must say though that it worked rather well. Grebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one on the right might become too dark then? Dit gaan mal cool lyk. Good luck and enjoy the rest of the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowellingWulf Posted January 15, 2014 Share Where did you get the vinyl from for interest sake? I can also recommend the Avery Fascal 700 High Performance Polymeric colours on Avery 700 Premium Film with Acrylic based adhesive backing for your purposes (or future projects). We use it for colour banding on pipes. It has a 5yr guarantee. http://www.intamarket.co.za/intamarket_graphics/avery_vinyl/avery.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck and enjoy the rest of the process. The vinyl is opaque so the colour of the frame shouldn't affect the outcome. That said though, I'm using 70 micron Grafitack 300 series, not as thin as Graficast (50 micron) but still pretty thin. So the blue might affect it. Theory says it sholdn't make a difference, but a tester is the only way to be sure. Thanks for the heads up! HowellingWulf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound easy enough to apply as well. As for the Vinyl, Depends on the effect you are looking for. If it's subtle you are going for then LHS. If not then the RHS. A combination of both however...... Light base with a darker inlay with the SUKUMA showing through would be nice. Maybe the Morewood logo on the down tube in the darker shade with a black shadow.... So many options!

These guys have plenty of use for Plastidip in the Automotive industry. Their instructional videos helped me quite a bit in my little project.
