Really cool looking! Found this site. They sell small kits for hydro-graphing.

The chemical involved made me shy away from the project . I quit smoking to save my lungs there is some nasty ingredients in the process
That is so cool, thanks for sharing!
This was the first company that came up in a google search for me, I know nothing about them but they have a great selection of colors/styles

*gasp* Urbana, Ill.? The home of the infamous HAL from 2001 a space odyssey? Nooooooooooooo!
Me: Open the squonk door, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
*runs out of the room screaming*
Thing is....there really IS (or WAS.....) a HAL Corp. in Urbana,IL --- they specialize(d) in custom electronic devices....i got a RTTY (radio teletype) demodulator kit and a fully assembled one many years ago.....they've both long-since gone the way of the dodo bird, what with packet radio/PCs, etc..
Nothing quite like the smell of warm machine oil from an ASR15 TTY!! (Think Associated Press/UPI in the '50s.....
)And that lovely indigo ink on those ribbons.....!!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!
that is absolutely beautiful, im interested to see how it wears before i spemd the money on that though.
if i remember correctly there is a place near me that does that, have to do a little research
edit: yep, about 5 minutes from my work http://www.wildhydrographics.com/

Looks gorgeous. I found a place local to me that does it. Splashed Hydrographics.
Do you mean inhaling the chemical during the process troubles you, or the chemical in the finished product?
I found one here in Texas, too. Houston Hydro Dip - Water Transfer Printing
That really looks so cool. I can understand Rob's hesitancy to do this. I'm sure the chemicals being used aren't too good for you, although safe after cure. I'm going to be brain dead from my work anyway. I am around lacquer thinner, catalyzed conversion varnish, clear and colored, and all sorts of nifty, nasty stuff 8 hours + per day. It would be worth it to find a place to do it for you rather than attempt it yourself.

There are quite a few shops here in Texas that do hydrodipping. Think FIREARMS. I looked Into it for a few of my guns and I want to do my REO but I'll wait until I get a backup.

that looks gorgeous. I'm assuming you dissembled it first before painting, but how did you ensure that the paint didn't go into the threads (where the atty goes)?
With bow season only a few months away I may need a camo REO. It would't be prudent to take the shiny, sparkly stuff to the woods and camp life would be a nightmare around my "friends".....lol
thanks for the link
