It's basically an image floated on liquid before being applied to an object by immersion. They use it for printing all sorts of stuff, like fake wood-grain patterns to car interior components for eg.

Interesting concept to apply it to a bike. The mind boggles!

Afternoon, have the concept sorted,

they can do it just as I want , just a bit shocked at the cost but then is the prep and lacquer to complete after

might just take the plunge and do it rather than just have stuff painted

PS I am not have the camo or woodgrain effect lol

I really do love the concept but haven't really looked into getting it done myself.
Are you buying a kit and doing it yourself or having it done for you?
Also I would really like to know the price if you don't mind that is...
