Anybody ever used hydrographics?

It is the film process that puts camo on rifles and designs on cell phone covers. I was thinking of doing carbon fiber to my ZX. Anyone know of any shops that do it in the Midwest?

I'm not sure the carbon fibre pattern would survive the transfer process Wolf. All examples I've seen have distorted the original in application. That's why it works well for the camo designs. They don't actually require a high degree of design integrity, and so are fairly 'rubbery' in their requirements.

Could be wrong however ;)

If you had already done it I wouldn't say anything bad, but since you're asking. That would be the chesiest thing in the world, fake carbon fiber is horrible and a whole bike of it would be horrendous. I also agree with the distortion part. Real carbon fiber can be cool in small doses, but even the real stuff can be real bad when it gets out of control. The chopperheads have thier chrome and the race reps have their carbon.

On the other hand I think snow/urban camo can be cool.
