Wink Emblempros.com is now offering hydrocoating

Get ready - we're expanding even more. A new service is coming soon and the equipment is on its way to our place.

Start throwing some ideas around in you head for what you want done. We will be able to do very large pieces, so the possibilities are nearly endless.

Door sills, sail panels, interior pieces, Xbox controllers, whatever. We'll be doing it. We'll keep you guys posted.

EDIT: Post #118 has some training pictures

Many parts will work, lids will be no problem. We can do a carbon fiber look, as well as many other patterns. You send us the part, we will return it with the process done.

As durable as a paintjob. Won't rub off, but can be scratched if not taken care of. All parts will have a clearcoat protective finish.

To keep it simple, it allows for us to transfer designs onto a 3D object to achieve an expensive look for an inexpensive cost. We will soon post some samples.

Yup, same thing. If you watch American Choppers when they did the Gander Mountain bike they did the tins in this and showed the process...

Picture a vinyl wrap (any print you want, CF, camo, whatever) laying on top of the water in a tub. The part is dipped in and when it comes out it looks like a MASTER painter painted it on.

IT IS NOT A VINYL WRAP I just used that as a visual...

I won't BS you because I hate when people do it to me. We are extremely busy with emblems right now, and will likely be doing this work in bulk, once a week. So, hopefully from the time you send it to me to the time you get it back, it may take 2-3 weeks, but don't hold me to that. There may be instances where it a takes a week, there may be some more difficult procedures where it takes a month. There is a lot of prep time, and shipping time involved with this facet of the business. We will try to do it as fast as possible because you guys know that we like to get you your parts ASAP.

That seems on par with another company that I looked into getting some Atomic Orange carbon fiber dash pieces done. 2-3 weeks plus shipping time was the estimate.

Keep us in touch. And way to go at offering more services

Here some pics of my stuff. If the quality if similar to this other vendor I previously went with, there'll probably be a lot of takers.
