Afternoon, thanks for the Youtube videos, helped me alot getting started with infusion.

The question I have is how do people add full colour images to fibreglass parts and on top of carbon parts?

Thanks for any help with this.

Cheers D.

Hanaldo, that looks awesome. Mine are usually painted so I have to do it on the inside. But that gives me a really good idea for some custom boats. 

Yeh it works well. You do get some print through of the fibres giving a bit of a 'texture' to the surface of the sticker, but it's not normally an issue. 

For identification stickers on the backside of the part, you can again use virtually anything; regular labels work well. For pre-preg you can even just use ordinary paper. I think the surfboard guys use rice paper to avoid any issues of adhesive reacting with polyester or vinyl ester resin, but if you're using epoxy then its easy.
