We have been searching for al potential patterns we will be using, and have found a fair quantity of patterns.

Lots of wood patterns, metal finishes, carbon fiber stuff, etc...
The stuff is not cheap, and we will begin stocking on January 1st. We will have posted on our site which patterns we will be starting with.


Thanks, Roger

Holy Hell! I've been waiting for a sponsor to offer a service like this. I'll definitely be doing this to my upper console, once I successfully delete the cup holder. Here's a grand idea: YOU should become partners with 6LE and offer them a huge deal, so that 6LE can offer their products in those finishes. SUCH AS A CARBON FIBER SPLITTER THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!!!

Umm... I've been selling real CF splitters for awhile

Anyways, an ABS one hydro-dipped in COUNTLESS themes could be cool as well

Part is about 68"x30"...

Well, we are here in a hotel getting ready to go to training that starts tomorrow morning. I am trying to write down all of my questions, and ideas today. Once we get back home, we have some electrical, and plumbing work to install everything, and we will be "in business" We have a paint booth thats 12 x 14 for the Clear coat.
A lot to do over the holidays.

Cool

Okay guys, here are some parts that we did in training. If you see any imperfections it is because these parts have been used about a dozen times before to train other people.

Car blank with a tan base coat getting dipped in a camo pattern:






Console bezel and A/C control cluster all in one - from what I was told, most professionals cannot get this thing done around the top lip due to the motions you need to make to get complete coverage. I got it on my 1st shot





A door handle insert:


Here is a carbon fiber pattern that we used. It is not my favorite CF pattern they had, but it was good for training nonetheless:








Hooker shoe:


Here is my favorite carbon fiber weave (looks sick in person) - these parts were all in the conference room so I snagged some pics for you guys.

Up close:

Just a question...I just watched a video on youtube showing how the dipping process was done, and it's pretty awesome.. But, what I was wondering was...could you guys do a vid that shows your set up and maybe you shops set up as well? Not that it really matters, just would like to see what your set up is like
