Water Transfering

kidicenj · 05-02-2014, 12:44 PM

Has anyone got their rims water transferred before? If so I would LOVE to see some pictures of how they came out.

I am thinking about getting them done but I'm also worried they will chip? Has anyone had any issues with this?

Sounds like a bad idea to me. All the water xfer stuff I've seen (camo for guns and bows) wasn't all that durable. But there may be something out there that would hold up. If you do it, I think synolimit's clear coat suggestion would be worth considering.

if it can withstand the heat, then clearcoat would protect the transfer's finish.

but before going there, wtf...

Why is there all this wtfing goin on?

I would go paint or powdercoat route with rims.

It's definitely possible:

I still have my doubts about durability. Looks like more of a show car thing.

Its definitely do-able, but the result must be clear coated. However, if the car is a daily driver, you are going to have stone chips like crazy after the first month.

Yah, I seriously doubt anyone would do this for function or performance.

Even with clearcoat? Why?
