    waterborn decal transfer

    I thought this looked rather interesting:

    I liked the "carbon fiber" decal on the wheels.

    Thanks for sharing! Yes, really cool stuff. This is how they put the cammo on shotguns. My Benelli Super Black Eagle has wetlands cammo and is done this way.

    Those flames on the wheels would look great on a 33 Hot Rod.

    I have used this process via a local shop and had my dash panel dipped, I laid down the base color and then they dipped and cleared it for me. VERY HAPPY with the end result!

    It will be interesting in that when its dark the gears dont show up that much, but when its bright out, they pop out from the background with great definition.

    Very cool. I've been thinking of something new for my dash and you've inspired me.

    I looked into it and in the end for the $120 CDN I paid it was not worth the hassle. My guy turned it around in a week as well so I found its worth it.

    Nice effect. You can get pine grain to stand out like that by sandblasting the boards. Maybe that's how this was done.
