Camo Dip Kit

Home Camouflaging Made Quick and Easy

Camo Dip Kit is a do-it-yourself kit much like the commercial process known as water transfer imaging. Our kit allows you to process parts on a small scale in your home. The kit contains the printed film, chemicals, and basic supplies needed for creating unique camoflage items at home. All you'll need to provide is a container for dipping the items in and a supply warm water

This is the same process that gun and ATV manufacturers use to print camo patterns on their products And automotive manufacturers use to print wood grain patterns on plastic interior pieces. This process can be done on any part that can be safely submerged under water.

Applying camouflage with Camo Dip Kit is EASY - Just Four Basic Steps:

Clean and prep the part
Base coat the part
Dip the part
Clear coat the part

What is Water Transfer Imaging

Water transfer imaging is the process of applying decorative finished to 3D products. Any hard surface, non-porous and that can be submersed in water can be decorated. Anything you can get paint to stick to the object most likely you can decorate it with this process. Examples of such materials are: plastic, glass, hardwoods, fiberglass, ceramics, and metal (metal objects will require you to provide a self etching metal primer)

How does the Water Transfer Imaging Process Work

Products are decorated using a print, which resides on a thin base of water-soluble film. The printed film is placed on the surface of the water, and the base begins to dissolve. A patented activator chemical is sprayed over the film causing the ink to remain floating in an oil-like state on top of the water. Next the properly prepared part is immersed into the water, and the upward pressure of the water causes the ink to wrap around and adhere to the item. After the entire item has been immersed, it is removed from the water, cleaned and then coated with a clear coat. Included in the kit is a link to a set of video instructions that walk you through all the steps in the process.
