What We Do
Three ways we can change a part for you.
Hydrographics
Water transfer printing floats a printed film on water and wraps it around your part — carbon fiber, wood grain, camo and hundreds more. Motorcycle tanks, fairings and helmets; wheels, bumpers and engine covers; interior trim and dash panels; rifle parts, cups, coolers and more.
Restoration & Wood Grain
Sun-bleached, faded or cracked interiors get a second life in wood grain. Dash bezels and glove box doors, door and console trim, matched across the full interior, in gloss, satin or matte clear.
Cerakote & Powder Coat
When a part needs armor, not just a pattern. Cerakote Certified Applicator — factory-trained and certified by NIC Industries, Feb 2026. Suspension, springs and control arms; firearms and sporting goods; camera and electronics housings; brackets, frames and hardware.
How a Dip Happens
01 Prep & Prime — We strip, sand and repair the part, then lay down primer and a base coat. The base color sets the pattern's tone.
02 Base Coat — The base coat goes on smooth and even, so the pattern reads true once the film hits the water.
03 The Dip — The printed film is floated on the tank and activated. Your part is dipped through it so the pattern wraps every curve, then the excess film is rinsed off.
04 Clear & Cure — The part is dried and sealed under a show-quality clear coat that locks in the finish and protects it for years.
PICK YOUR PATTERN
You'll pick from hundreds of films and prints before you commit. These are the patterns customers ask for first, straight off the shelf: Carbon Fiber, Wood Grain, Camo, Skulls, Flames, Marble & Stone, Comic & Custom Prints, Brushed Metal, Checker & Weave — and hundreds more. Ask us — if you can picture it, we'll find the film or print it.
