Had anyone seen or looked into this new process? If you haven't seen it just go to you tube and look for "hydrographics motorcycle tank dip". I think I might adventure into doing my tank and fenders in a pattern yet determined. I will update as it goes but wanted to grab any info or suggestions from any exp. doing it.

We can do the hydrographics whenever you are ready. One of Gannons parts is on youtube and we also have pictures on our Facebook site (linked in my sig). Look for the red carbon fiber stuff and the gannon build.

Glad I sparked some interest. I thought the whole process looks pretty insain and the complexity of the look you get is one of a kind. Sean, if I don't try and tackle this myself I am looking for some ghost flames. Do you have any examples or patterns available?
That just needs to either be painted on there or graphically applied. We can do both. I actually have a used body set with some flame work too.

Damn G, you went there! :rofl_200:
I watched Gannon's video of his braced S/A getting dipped into the tank w/ pattern. I can't imagine how they were able to get the S/A completely covered so well let alone get the pattern to matchup!:worthy:

I do hydrographics on firearms. Its a cool process to be able to offer.
I too was thinking of doing some parts on my bike. But mine is in good shape also, so I think I am going to buy a couple of crap parts to do and mount up possibly.

Wow! Wish I knew about this 6 months ago when I started building my max! How durable is it ? Costly? And what kind of surfaces can it be put on?

just for a chuckle!
hope that came out right. in that dudes are the only thing he doesn't do.
Not very much I don't do but that is one of them for sure!
The reliability of hydro is the same as any auto paint job, because after hydro paint you can cover it with a quality auto clear coat and wet sand and buff that to a awesome shine! If you want to clear on you own look for "spray Max 2k" it's amazing stuff for a DIY guy.
