Custom Paint - Workshop specials.

Yup.

Vector files are used to cut the paths from a sheet of vinyl.
The vinyl stencils and masks are stuck on the frame using a release tape.
Paint products are applied through or over the stencils and masks.
Stencils and masks are removed leaving paint in the desired 'shape'.

The paint products themselves do build up at the edges of the graphics.
We combat this by using smaller needles and nozzles, thinner products and being delicate and methodical with paint application. We can remove some of that edge build using mild solvents.

Once the basecoats are clearcoated and cured, you can sometimes feel a slightly raised edge of a graphic beneath the clear. The job then is to remove that edge in the wet flatting and polishing stages.

The ultimate goal on a well executed finish is to have a surface that is smooth to the touch throughout.

It's never that easy but that's the end result you work towards.
