What do you guys think about hydrographics aka dipping?? I got some work done on my XB but i haven't met or talked to anyone that has done it before....... any feedback??????

 

post some pics up, i havnt seen anyone wit that around here.

 

I don't even know what that is....pics?

 

^Word!

 

You mean like the camo people put on four wheelers and hunting vehicles

 

googled "Hydrographics":
Hydrographics is a unique solution for your most demanding decorative needs.
Hydrographics (also referred to as Immersion or Water Transcription) is the process of applying decorative film to rigid and semi-rigid products including, but not limited to, plastic and metal substrates without leaving wrinkles, air bubbles, or blemishes.

Awesome looking stuff! How much does the processing cost?

 

Looks pretty cool for abstracts, carbon fiber, woodgrain, camo looks. The process doesnt seem to have much precise control since the parts dipped through the liquified graphic. I like it for the effect.

 

Let me know if you guys are interested in hydrographics. You can do almost anything you want. We have done several Scion's.

 

Are you limited by any design constraints? Or can you do anything?

 

yes, as long as it is a digital image.

 

Can you provide more info on this? Price, process etc? Maybe some more pics would be helpful.

 

What about size? Say I wanted my entire car done, would that be possible?

 

hmmmm....i think they Dip the product to be done.....so unless you want to seal your baby up and dip her.....lol

But seriousley if they could you should get Zebra stripes.....that would be cool

 

I know now what the process involves, I'm just cuious as to how large of an item they can do.

Zebra stripes? Nah....Leopard spots FTW

 

Oh man that would be great.

I am really interested in using this process if they can chrome my engine cover.
