Members BatheInVice Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 I want to print an actual picture to my triboost. How done I done that? would it be best to just cut out an actual picture and then put it on top and then coat the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soulsonic Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 you could coat it with photo emulsion and expose a film on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RadioSilence Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 the cheap way. 1 go to an art supplies shop and buy some watercolour paper.2 print the photo onto the paper.3 clean the pedal enclosure.4 use PVA glue (thick white school glue) to stick the paper to the pedal.5 use the glue to paint over the top of the paper. this will dry to form a clear, protective layer.6 ??????7 profit.

Members ambient Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 you can get water decals that you can print onto. Clearcoat over the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members letsgocoyote Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 you can just use a regular photograph, ideally matte finish. probably order a matte finish print from an online photo lab, but maybe the walmart photo lab has an option for matte finish prints. glue it to the box with some good spray adhesive (3M super 77), let cure a little, then clearcoat with some spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members conky Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 I've had good luck with some by putting a few coats of laquer down over the base coat of paint and then when it's still sticky putting the photo down (I used newspaper clippings) and then adding about 6 pr 7 more coats of laquer to it. They've held up fine for the past year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
