Make sure you thank dash for this useful post .

actually this dude sniped me when posting this even though i already had mad one of these threads telling him how to do it..... but owell its all good since not fully my thought either on how to do this.... all that matters is that it was figured out and works :smile:

as jr said will take a while to fade from sweat on your hands and hand cleaners..... the only thing to def keep it away from is rubbing alcohol, sani wipes, buffalo wing wipes, etc.... alcohol will take the dye and make it fade if not remove completely.

yup you jsut cant go from light to dark but you can go from light to dark......
 
lets say if i wanted to make a design or something wat would you recommend to stick on the battery cover... i know tape would just come right off... but do you know of anything thatll stick and then come right off after dye??...
 
I haven't personally tried it yet, but have used vinyl in heated situations and it handles being buffed on, so you might give it a shot. I'm talking about the stuff that they use to put lettering on big trucks. You can find it at places like autozone and stuff like that. Not sure how the that or the pinstriping will work, since you are literally boiling it.

I would suggest that before you apply the vinyl, you wiped down the cover with some alcohol to make sure that there isn't anything on it. You will want to lay out your design before hand, once you stick it down, repositioning it is a pain.

Hopefully by the end of the coming week, I will have something to show for this.
 
yeah that was my thoughts too... the boiling would undo the stick and then i was thinking about maybe using some kind of like really sticky stuff that would just become weak with a boil... or idk if someone can figure this out it would be awesome... don't have a pro but have the touch vogue but am trying to switch for a mogul and am interested... even if i can try with my vogue but it's now hard to get extra covers lol... please let me know if any answers come up...

ive put it in multiple threads already.... you can go to a heave motors shop or get online all you need to get is some 16 wheeler pinstriping or as i use firetruck pinstripe, very flexible and withstands mad heat!
