    Hi all does anyone know the method of manufacturing thick motocross graphics ?

    I’m pretty sure they are made with a very high tack double sided adhesive then the print laid between the high tack adhesive and then an over laminate installed, But i have no idea where you can get the supplies for the materials and also the process of manufacture, If anyone can be of any assistance that would be great as my son’s motocross bikes are in need of some BLING Ha Ha , And if i make some up that pressure wash off 1st time ill be in for a whole lot of abuse ha ha,

    Many thanks and a happy new year to all

    Hexis sell a vinyl for low energy surfaces ie: polypropelene which is intended for the panels on motocross bikes and the like.

    Have a look at the convex material from print one, the do it in 300micron
    overlaminate, and also sell a prep fluid for polyprop panels.

    Tried A few Different Options But Convex From Print 1 is the only one that works expensive though
