    I saw this technology on American Choppers. They did an off road motorcycle that was camo-dipped... Coolest thing ever.

    Seriously... you're going to have a lot of customers from this site.

    I just saw them doing this stuff on American Chopper, its a very cool process.

    Edit: Nice timing Bullet. The episode I saw they were putting a hundred dollar bill design on a bike.

    Nice!

    Hey, how durable is it? Is it cladding worthy?

    Would you do a shotgun? and any idea on price? Also is this heat resistant to hold up to that?

    I just saw that one also....so when Boarzhead said water transfer process I figured that's what he was talking about! Plus the dude had them spray it with 24 gold flake..... Was that obnoxious with a capital "O" or what? What he do, hit the lottery or something?

    Only heat resistant as a clear coat would be. This is just a paint patern so primer and clear coat determine durability

    How would you go about doing a whole vehicle? Or is that even possible? Also, can you spray clear over it?

    Way cool. Saw the 100 dollar bill episode of American Chopper, crazy stuff.

    So is there any limitation to the substrate is? A carbon fiber skid plate would look nice. How would you want them prepped is you could do fiber glass?

    Hmmm, I have some extra parts laying around, spoiler, entire dash bezel, and some other misc stuff. I also have a ton of switch blanks and switches. Do you need any parts? We might be able to work out a deal. I am thinking a CF dash bezel would be neat, as well as all the switches. Seems kind of boring, might have to peruse the patterns and find something a bit more unique. You get the idea though. Let me know if you need anything, I can even get the entire center console, door panels, just about all the interior.

    How about a yellow carbon fiber? Perhaps a yellow diamond deck? Not sure how I feel about that much yellow inside, but who knows.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Only reservation I would have about adding CF bits to the interior is that it might be hard to match the factory faux-CF pattern. Not a big deal for the bezel, but other parts of the dash (primarily the edges) will meet up close enough to the door to potentially create an odd contrast...
