Water Transfer Graphics In The Uk......?

Hi all. Anyone done this in the uk yet? I found a place in Manchester willing to do some frames but I wondered if anyone was interested perhaps, or if it's been done already anybody got a price and somewhere to recommend?
 
I found a place in Wales & had a pair done. I found out the key is to let the paint fully harden before refitting lenses. Couldn't track any other company down. Do they have a good selection of transfers & what do they charge for their work?
 
I know of several places in the UK that water transfer but, just like tradesmen, it's finding somewhere that does a really good job compared to a jobsworth. How much is this place charging and for what? Some places will be cheap but they will literally just wrap (water transfer) a frame, coat it, and post it back. Some will do a better job of actually priming, base coating, then wrapping and doing a final protective coat. Think of it like painting a car, some people will just paint a car and it will look ok but other more professional places will prime it, base coat it, wet sand it etc to get a better finish.
 
Cheers guys.
He's shown me the carbon fibre to begin with. Not my thing, I want some digital camouflage actually!

I work in the motor trade (salesman at a VW main dealer) and the guy does alloy wheels and stuff for us..... I hope he's gonna do one for free as a taster!

I'm struggling at the mo, as he hasn't given me a price (he's holding out to see how many I want doing)

What did you pay......, SIGHT ?

Hey I use to work at the VW garage here in Scunthorpe...............The guy charged me £10.00 for doing it. Got a blue carbon transfer on a Fuel Cell Frame. Here's the thread

There were a couple of chips on the frame when I got it back & I fitted the lenses back in too early as the paint was still soft. But I've touched the frame up & now the paint has hardened off i'm happy with them.
