Interesting
Hi..
Very interested, just a little curious 'how' it is being done. Are we talking about a paint job here?
How durable is the finish? How on earth are they gonna get around the surfaces?
Is it just external surface or inside too?
Finally, the carbon cocker caught my attention, where was that done? Got any examples of the work this company does?
And finally finally... when you getting yours done?

i did post some examples further up, but they came out smal...
their carbon fibre, looks spot on...the pic above is just an example, not done by this company.
spray finishes, with super hard laquer are possible....all pattern inishes are via ink transfer, then laquered...many designs available, not leade realtree and mossy oak cammos...i think also american dollars as well, for you cash money types! typing one handed as holding son with other one!
getting mine done soon hopefully..untill i di, i wont know a price...but seeing what can be done, for X amount of money, it shouldnt be too expensive.
solid white, as in stormtrooper style? or white carbon fibre?????

Nope...ink transfers are given a base colour, before the trabsfer is applied...the trabsfer will..like a vilida super mop...get in all the nooks and crannies, that arent masked off.
ok...
So, a base coat of ink is layed down on unanodized aluminum. This works as a primer for the graphic layer that is applied on top of that. Is this right?
If so, further questions occur to me. Does having the aluminum anodized before the base layer have any adverse effect? Are these layers both applied as floating films that the part is lifted through? Is the second coat necessary, as a sealing layer, or is the base coat resilient? Is the base coat necessary? Is this treatment removeable? Is this treatment opaque or translucent? Why do puppies die?

Base coat is applied to item, as Ink has partially clear portions, so basecoat will show through...ink layer is applied...then, special laquer, be it gloss, matt etc, is applied to maintain hardyness of the finnish.
Annodized finish has no adverse affect...I believe...not sure, if its stripped, but certainly wont cause a problem.
Base layer is applied with spray gun/airbrush...
Treatment would be removeable, in much the same was as annnodized finnish would be...I imagine some variety of paint stripper would be used.
Some patterns may have opaque/translucent portions, through which a base coat will be visible, giving teh required appearance, overall...
Puppies die, commonly, due to ICDS, of Infant Canine Death Syndrome..whereby death occurs due to the heart stopping, or lungs failing, or by some other occurence, that is "Incompatible With Life".
Other reasons for puppies to die, include: Being Run over, being shot, being hacked up by something sharp, being put in Microwave Ovens...being overzelously loved by fat, hamfisted children.
Bigger examples...really nice..especially the Turkish walnut....gonna get my Pump Action Shotgun done like this, then lie like a cheap russian watch when I sell it!
OK, so long as it isn't 'cause God hates puppies...
So the base ink coat, which is applied by airbrush: is this layer opaque or does the metalic sheen come through? Post lacquer, the finish will be uniformly smooth and shiny, so dust finishes would be obviated? How is the top ink layer added? Is it printed on with some sort of ink jet-style device, or is the ink on a film? If it is on a film, is the ink transfered by pressure? Does the film dissolve? How's it taste?
