There are many stages in the Skin coating process. It all starts in the prep, base coating, dipping, washing & cleaning and then the clear coating. Turn around time for all items varies from 14 days to 21 days. An Express Service is avilable for an additional charge.
Process
Water Transfer Printing is also referred as Hydro Dipping, Hydro imaging, and even Camo Dipping. In essence it is a surface decoration technology that uses a specialised film printed with 3D and natural designs, such as burl wood, walnut, marble and geometrical designs to decorate nearly any substrates. Automotive dash kits, automotive interiors, architecture, handles, switches, LCD and Plasma TV surrounds and many daily applications lend themselves to the film transfer process.
