Anyone had Hydrographics applied to their RT??

[Dragonrider]

I just can't get over the "decals on my dash" hump, and have been taking a hard look at hydrographics for better longevity, durability, and looks. Especially for my dash area.

Any thoughts??

my first thought is that you have just sent hundreds of people out to "google" what the heck hydrographics even are?:sour:

Cowtown has similar system and they sell their dashes. Call them for more details. I got mine and it looks good!!

Hey Harry there was a post on here a while back a guy in Australia had it done, wheels and the upper and lower A-arm covers. It is a very labor intense product. they have to clean the parts then do it again rinse in clean treated water apply graphics let dry then clear coat. I looked into having all the black plastic done on a rt including the dash and the price was around 1400 dollars. There is only one company that I know of in western Canada doing it and they are in BC. I was told to wait until next year because they are coming out with new designs, they have the system perfected they were lacking in design, unless of course you like the camo look then you would be happy. There is also a guy on here from Quebec that has it done as well. Maybe someone can help us out on the name

Here's a video link:

I've gotten two quotes, and both are around $0.75 per square inch.

Wow! Instant riding gloves. :yes:

After watching the video, it appears to be an interesting process, but I don't know the advantage of it's application to the Spyder. It would seem to me to be very hard to match graphics lines between multiple parts.

An ATVing buddy of mine had the bodywork on his Grizzly dipped; A Jungle camo Vietnam War-era style, and it came out great! It was tougher than paint, but it could be scratched... :shocked:
Really cool stuff! :2thumbs:

coating

Why not just have Linex truck bed liner sprayed all over the bike . That would make one tough coating and you never have to worry about scratches again.:spyder2:

The Burl Wood photos are my bike (I recognized my windshield vent) and I was pleasantly suprised by the ease of installation and the reasonable pricing. I have had many complements on how it really dressed up the bike. hyea:hyea:

When my kids were in school they brought home pencils that they had dipped into water and (I think enamel paint) streaks of paint then twirled the pencils to make patterns.

Thanks Lamont I new there was a pic out there. This can be an excellent way to do all the black plastic on the rs or rt's. You can apply any base color and you can also apply as many clear coats as you would like. Just think of the possibilities with clear coating you could do standard gloss or the new matte clear coat which would give the parts a subtle look. I am seriously thinking of doing this to the rt this winter.
