Okay, is there a way you could paint them the color and use a clear or gloss film just for the texture and the bond since it is so much better than paint that will just flake? I really want your finish product, the stuff looks great.

I will need to call the technical guys to find out.
Just give me a couple of days to get the answer.
This is much better than just painting.

Thanks, Roger

We just did the interior of a members car on another forum (6 pieces) , and the entire cost was less than $300.00.
For the finished result, you can't beat the cost.

Thanks, Roger

This is some really cool stuff you're getting into. I understand the thrill though, as we did the exact same thing you're doing except with Anodizing (and trying to get to powdercoating). The end result was a fantastic success. Keep it up, it is DEFINITELY worth it in the end.

Rear piece, I cannot be sure at this time. The front peice yes, but it would require severe masking prior to dipping.

Depends on the details of the wheels. A quick picture of them would tell me all I need to know.
Please let me know.

Yes,

You could paint over our clear with your paint color, remove your decal. Then reclear it again.
