What is hydro-Graphics?

Hydro-Graphics is a process than can decorate any kind of hard-surfaced, non-porous part, such as plastic or metal, and make it look like a variety of finishes, such as wood grains, carbon fibers, or brushed aluminums in various colors.

How does it work?

We take the part in question, and spray it in the desired base color (for rosewood, reddish-brown, for carbon fiber, black). The pattern itself, whatever the pattern may be (straight-grained or burled wood, carbon fiber, brushed aluminum) is printed on a thin, water-soluble film. We cut a piece of the film that will be big enough to envelope the part in question, then lay the film on the surface of water floating in a specialized stainless steel tank. A chemical is sprayed on the film that dissolves the film, leaving just the ink pattern floating on the surface of the water. Then the part is dipped in the water slowly, and it picks up the pattern, much like an Easter egg. The last step is to spray a high gloss clear coat on the part to give it depth and shine.

You are left with a part that looks like it came from the factory in a wood grain, carbon fiber, or whatever finish you choose. The appreciable thickness is added to the part. There is no film to peel off. This is the same process used by the OEMs right now to achieve the wood grain and carbon fiber finishes in their vehicles (think Lincoln Navigator, Ford Super Duty Lariat trucks).
