LoverofCar 6th Gear December 17, 2013 Author Share December 17, 2013 (edited) Is this available in Singapore? I'm sure it will be a hit here someone decided to bring it in......imagine changing rim color and having a new print design on the rims at a fraction of the price for new rim change...

Roberttan 5th Gear December 20, 2013 Share December 20, 2013 cost and availability here is just a simple issues durability is critical because of if you going to do it on your old used rim , preparation will be important unlike manufacturer does it in control condition and brand new rim and once done I afraid you cant restore it back and you got to throw away the rim if you hate the result and peeling off after used I am sure the service provider will not able to assure you the result and durabilty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meanmachine Supercharged December 27, 2013 Share December 27, 2013 my question is: Will the finished print last and durable against weather and small stones? Print wont last long or nobody will change rims anymore, thy juz change color font and rims and tyre shop will close one after another. Given times, I'm sure some1 will start tis biz and it will catch on, only the young and restless will dare to go for it, Old Uncle with conti car/s in mind will not.

QQDreamer 4th Gear January 1, 2014 Share January 1, 2014 i also think so the print will not last long. probably will fade after a while. in our singapore local weather this kind of printing hard to survive on the rim material. who knows after one jet wash at the petrol kiosk all the printing design comes off straight away! there is a different in spray painting and this. chinese saying" 好看不衷用" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear January 3, 2014 Share January 3, 2014 dun think they will come cheap if they really are available here. Ive seen it done on Wheeler Dealers. Much cheaper than carbon fiber stickers. It was done on the interior trim of a car. Looks damm nice but I dun know how lasting it is. Hope it becomes avaliable here. Maybe the first shop to bring in wil charge high but once the competition heats up, the price sud drop to much cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydromizeSG Neutral Newbie January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 my question is: Will the finished print last and durable against weather and small stones? Definitely one of the most popular questions we have encountered so far. There are actually four Simple yet extremely important steps your item goes through when being subject to water transfer printing. 1. BASE COAT - A special primer and a layer of base coat are applied to prepare your product for water transfer printing. 2. IMMERSION - Your product is carefully immersed into a specially designed water tank to absorb the print pattern. 3. PROTECTION - A protective layer is coated on your newly decorated product. This clear coat acts as a shield against chemicals or other elements which can cause damage over time. 4. EXPRESS OVEN DRYING - Your product goes through comprehensive oven drying for a quality finish. And voila, your product looks rejuvenated. The clear coat (lacquer) is automotive grade. This quality clear coat will be responsible for giving your new print its luster and long lasting durability. We are more than happy to clear any doubts that anyone may have in our newly start-up thread. http://www.mycarforum.com/topic/2697503-hydromize-water-transfer-printing-for-auto-interior/ ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
