French Dip Creations specializes in hydrographic water transfer printing—a process that applies complex patterns and finishes to firearms parts, gun stocks, automotive trim, helmets, and custom items.
Hydrographics works on plastic, metal, fiberglass, wood, ceramics, and glass. Here's how it breaks down:
1. Item is primed with an adhesion promoter 2. Base coat paint is applied (this controls the pattern's hue) 3. A water-soluble film with printed patterns is activated 4. The item is dipped—the ink wraps around it 5. Excess residue is washed off and dried 6. Clear top coat is applied for protection
The key advantage: transparent hydro films let you customize the base coat color for unique designs. Wood grain patterns typically use brown bases, while camo patterns require specific colors to maintain integrity.
Their gallery shows real examples:
Patterns available include natural wood grains, carbon fiber, camouflage, marble, snakeskin, diamond plate, and custom designs.
