Posted February 22, 201411 yr Moderator Just seen this on faceache and looks a great alternative to painting. The hydrographic process consists of transferring a pattern to an object using water displacement. The object being printed can now be dipped through the pattern. The water being displaced by the object causes the pattern to wrap around and adheres the print to the object no matter how complex the shape. Creating a continuous finish. http://www.kustomcoatingsuk.co.uk/
February 22, 201411 yr Drewpy, they have been doing this for years at least as far back as the 70s cos most modellers used to do this if you wanted to make ultralight aircraft, dip the model in the tank and pour the coating over the water and lift the part up through the film, it's an easy process and you can do it yourself if you can get the coatings or just want to cover your parts with a thick film.

I know they do this on guns, but that's a small scale.
