Seems to me like the same thing as swirl painting, only with printed design... I wonder how persistent actually is this paint

QUOTE (cheela @ Dec 10, 2013 - 3:04 AM)  only questions is how much would that cost to do? That's what I was thinking, hard to gauge. I guess it depends if you send your parts to them, or a company local to yourself has paid the rights to use their design etc -------------------- |

Co-worker has a side business doing the HydroGraphics. Takes a solution tank and a lot of practice, that said he's done a lot of off the wall stuff like guns, bows, deer skulls, an ATV's body parts etc, pretty much anything that can stand to get wet for a bit. A whole catalog of different films you can get, like woodgrains, flames, skulls, about anything you can think of. He clearcoats most of it afterwards, so it should hold up as well as good paint. Also has the stuff like a lot of cellphones come with that makes them non-slick.
Looks like someone has a home kit out now: http://www.mydipkit.com/index.html |
