EDIT: looking closer at the real thing, nope, it seems to be a single piece (or they did really good job at hiding any seams)... don't know why the patterns don't match then.

Blunzn Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 with plasti dip probably not cause of the big nozzle of the spraycans, but if you have some artist blood inside you, maybe .... but it doesnt really look like a "handjob" i would guess its water transfer printing ... which many car tuning shops offer ... e.g.: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 That's really cool looking, but probably not something you can do at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunzn Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 water transer prints arent that expansive. you pay appx for 1 square meter of foil 10 € plus work time. the good thing about plasti dip is that its easy to peel off in one peace. and from one 15-20€ spraycan you ca paint your unicycle a few times. not sure how easy vinyl wrapping or water transfer is to remove after its scatched up. the problem of scratches on the outer rings is maybe less with vinyl wrapping as its a thicker layer, but the videos look like its a pain in the a... to apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
