Haro bicycle decals skin#

Not talking about cars or bikes' parts, fairings and especially wheels where there is heavy friction. Even if you stick them on normal every day stuff like laptop, doors, tool boxes etc., usually if they are just normally printed, the ink gets faded and scratched easily. We use high quality flexible gloss laminating film from the German brand ORAFOL. Silver metallic color - stunning appearance on sunlight.Highest quality digital printing - 1440x1080 dpi.Then the decals are laminated with a flexible high gloss laminate to protect the print and color from scratches, dirt, fuel, oil and cleaning fluids and to give them a perfect glossy finish.В Finally they are then contour cut to shape, supplied on their backing sheet ready to apply to your bike. We use only quality outdoor vinyls from world's best brands.

I was extremely happy with the decals and the paint scheme. The 1996 Haro Group 1 Zi BMX frame restoration turned out great. There are some chips in the paint work & some scratches on decals caused by previous shipping of the bike. The rest of the bike including the grips is all original.

Many of the decals were created with chrome backgrounds to give them a bit of extra bling. The tyres are the only parts that have been upgraded to a pair of rare NOS Haro MultiSurface 3 skin walls, size 20 x 1.85 which look amazing against the Chromeolive paint work. Even with this issue, their Gloss White is the best for my purpose.ДЄfter spraying, the frame was hung up for about a week to letВ the paint fully dry.ДЄs part of the Haro Group1 restoration sticker set, I cutВ chrome strips to sit between the two painted colours on the rear seat stays and chain stays. I have had a few issues with their Gloss White, a few cans haveВ sprayed out lumpy, and need to run the paint out before applying to the frame.

That could be a problem with the primer I used,В nonetheless I donвЂ™t have that issue with this brand. I have resprayed a few frames using a separate primer but I foundВ the top coat was chipping too easily. I prefer to use Rust-OleumВ® 2X Ultra CoverВ the paint has a built in primer.В In real terms I find it to be more resistant to paint chipping. For me this is better than going back to raw metal, as it gives the colour coat something to bond to. To prep the 1996 Haro Group1 Zi frame, I sanded it back to the original primer. I settled onВ a matt grey (granite) back end with a marine blue (seaside) front end. Quite a few old and mid school HaroвЂ™s had this colour treatment. I couldnвЂ™t find the originalВ yellow colour so I decided to do a custom two tone colour. The next step in the Haro Group1 Zi restoration was paint. Not every one I redrewВ was exactly correct, there were a few fonts that I couldnвЂ™t find and a few curves that were too hard to replicate. Before removing the decals from the Haro Group 1 frame and sanding I gaveit a a Citric Acid bath to remove all of the rust.ДЇrom the photographs I could redraw each of the decals in Adobe Illustrator.
