Default Hydroimaged my wheels

This was about 8 months ago. LOL! Wanted to post pics but, life happens. To be honest, i have never posted a pic of my truck on here. Got the wheels free and stripped them then had the shop do their work. It's a marble pattern. All the pics were taken on a I phone, not very good lol!

Before




Stripped



Imaging done, no polish on the lip



done




on the truck

Haha! I removed the pic of my truck. It was pointless since it was so small.

Didn't realize how small the pics were until I posted them. You can't even tell the wheels are hydro imaged.... epic fail

Use google newbie.......... Hahahaha!



It's a process of applying a image to just about anything. You base coat, dip the part into a tank that has the image film, clear coat and your done. Check it out on YouTube. Pretty cool stuff.
