    If you’re not bothered about specific patterns and just some coloured swirls is fine for you then just spray paint into the water. Prep’s a lot easier.

    Good Video, My question to you is, if I have a plastiv part that is the correct base color i want, can I lightly etch the plastic with Very fine Glass Bead in which i do yo my pre prep on a paint job og a model R/C airplane,. Question being is the surface prp as discribed going to be a good contact and take surgace for the hydro diping. Next, I heed a Clear coat that is almost equilivant to Automotive grade clear acrylic. will that eat the Print design in light coats?
    And actually how long do you wait if you are going to use a chear coat over the print design?
    Any guidance will be highly appreciated.
    Respectfully, Jim "P" Jenuine-motor

    What if I use krylon paint+primer spray paint instead of automotive paints. It says it will adhere to plastic and I'm going to sand the plastic anyway and clean so the paint has something to adhere to. Do you think this would allow the film to stick onto the paint? The color is going to be flat white from krylon. Also, how's that clear coat holding up?

    Can you tell us few more details? How long between dipping and clearcoat
    I'm having issues. I'm using enamel. Let dry ten min between coats. Then dip. Rinse and let air dry. But I've only had succes using aerosol 2k clear if I leave part over night before clear.
    What your process? How long between each stage for you?
