Default Use your imagination......

OK kids. Here is a question:

Think of ANY part on your car, any part at all, that you wish you could have Carbon Fiber, but it's not available.


Have you thought of anything? NO!? OK, Think about any metal, plastic, fiberglass, ABS, or glass that is a part of anything. Not just your car.


Do I have your attention?


There is a process we like to call hydro-bond that allows us to give a unique effect to any number of things. Here is what I have done to my Paintball gear so far. Oh, and I know the parts don't "match," per say, but I wanted to show the different effects we can do.








We can take any color base that you want, and apply these patterns, and many more, over the base. The grip on my A-5 is white pearl, with a snake skin covering. It ends up being a painted surface. Only sanding, or paint thinner will remove it. The pieces shown have 2 clear coats applied to them, but you can do more if you wish to help express depth.

Let me know what you think.

And remember, the possibilities are endless!

Those tanks are pretty freaking cool!

So how long does it last?

Is there a warranty?

Fade problems with direct sunlight?

hehe.....well, I'm not sure. We've actually just gotten into it. This is something that has been only available to huge contracts in the past. It has just recently been released to the mainstream public. It is a painted, clearcoated surface once done.

Other places you can find this treatment in the "real world" are:
ATV's that come from the factory camoflauged and rifles that come from the manufacturer camo'd. I have only just begun dealing with the stuff and it is quickly becoming a huge hit!

I leave in the southeast so there is tons of sun and salt and sand in the air...

it would look cool as a carbon fiber dash and rear deck but I am worried about the sun...7 year vinyl cracks in only 3 years down here!

I hear ya. But this is not vinyl, or any sort of fabric. It acts just like a painted surface.

One of the guys in my car club is having his taillights done in Carbon Fiber. I will post pics once this is done. These first few projects are experimental as far as setting warrenties and what not.

Here are a couple plastic mold things we did. There is also some airbrushing being done as well:



We are also doing the "chromium" stuff like i posted in the other thread. It's hard to get right, so we are still working on perfecting this one. I don't have a good pic, but it's the green one next to the cf one with flames.
This one is red snake skin with an airbrush dragon and eyeball that isn't done yet:

These are parts to a powerwheels Jeep that we've got. These are the fender flares that are now Carbon Fibered:

Well if you want it done, you can ship it to me, or I can give you our business address. Either way, we can do it for you, no doubt about it. Let me know, then we'll work out a price quote.

I might do that. I'm shaving the letters off of one right now so it will be ready soon. Let me know the address(for shiping price) and a price and I'll let you know if I'll do it.

Man I can just stair at that blue water drop one all day. But I like the crome green one too but only if in blue.
