Title: makeover for my deus
Post by: ozy on March 26, 2016, 07:17 pm
got a chap who comes into our shop and he left some flyers about his own line of business which interested me ,he was saying how he does hydrographic dipping on motorbikes ,car interiors and exterior parts and a whole lot of other stuff so i had a look through his phone pics at some of his work and was amazed how unique this made the items i was viewing which then gave me an idea for my deus so after telling him what i did and the construction of the stem he said he would be able to do it only thing then was to pick my colours and pattern and since getting it back i thought i would share this on the group to see what you think .the finish has also had some airbrushing and then lacquered and is totally waterproof anyway take a look

He is based in willenhall which is near Walsall. His company is akwashak Google this and his website will come up he charges £80 without the airbrushing and £90 with but there is a fair amount of work involved in stripping the stem of the parts to be dipped
