I wonder what the cost is for a set of valve covers (as an example). Basic costs for different things. Also, being a decal, I see they conform great to about anything, but what temps can they really last through, durability,etc?

 The water has to be 106 degrees IIRC for the overlay to work properly. I did alot of research last night, and most companies clear coat over the graphic which increases durability. Valve covers should be no problem at all. Vinyl is priced by the square inch. Most I saw were $0.36/sq inch. You buy it by the roll.

How large a panel can be done? Be neat to carbon fiber a hood without spending a fortune to buy a carbon fiber one.

Depends how large the holding tank is. Professionally built tanks aren't big enough for hoods, unless you have them custom made.


Average start up cost buying premade tanks that include heating elements built in, with spray guns, attachments, etc. is around $15,000. It is known to be able to make that money back very easily.

The ones I looked at had the heating element, also another panel with all two spray guns and the regulator to adjust air pressure. The tanks came with everything necessary. I want to do a few test runs with this stuff.

Same, think Imma buy a DIY kit without the tank before I drop a bunch of money on the tank...I need to call some places that do it to see what they charge to get an idea.
