marbalizing interior...
while in walmart yesterday, i was looking at the easter egg painting kits...
there was one it where u could marble paint an egg...
the trick is to hold the egg, place a few drops of liquid paint on it, then put on a rubber glove and "palm" the egg...rollin it in your palm and spreading the paint
the finished effect would look somewhat marble
i was wondering if the same could be done with my interior pieces i would like to paint....
like, i'd get a cool rattle can color or whatever, spray the paint into the cap, then drip a few drops onto the panels, then "palm" the piece...
sound good?

It's called "hydrographics". Basically, they immerse the part to be covered under water, then float the graphic over it. Then you slowly raise the part, and let the graphic form over it. It's then dried and coated with clear to protect the graphic and add shine.
The pattern above is a blue granite, but the company rep said that they could do many custom shades and patterns. They have a black snakeskin pattern that looks amazing on interior parts.
You can either send them your pieces or pay for them to get OEM interior parts for the work. It's obviously cheaper to send your own, but some people don't want to be missing trim for a week. Either way, it's a true OEM piece that looks awesome. I saw a brushed aluminium dash on a Ranger three weeks ago, and it looked great.

Bryan,
To estimate the cost, they will need a rough guess on the surface area to process. I emailed them a while ago, and here was the response:
I do not stock factory parts for your vehicle, so you would need to send in your parts to be processed. If you would like a quote prior to sending in your parts, e-mail me a list of the parts you want to have decorated along with their measurements (width of the part at the widest point by the height of the part at the tallest point, going over any curves). This process can be done to any hard-surfaced part, such as plastic or metal, as long as it can be dunked in water.
Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Sincerely yours,
Robyn

Brent,
Good luck with the "ghetto wrap" project. Make sure you prep the surface real good, and use distilled water. It's still going to be a biotch, but think of the experiance you'll get. I have no clue where they get the graphics overlay from, and that might make it impossible to do at home.

i saw a painter do this at the local body shop. he was painting a full dash, and the guy wanted it "marbleized". he prepped the surface, laid a basecoat, and sprayed a coat of paint and let it dry. when he went to do the second coat, he used a lighter color, just barely, and sprayed it on. once he got done, he put cellophane on top of it and kind of just freehand put crinkle and swirls in the paint. he let it sit for like a minute, and took it off and let it dry. it lookes pretty cool. cheapo way, but cool none the less. i might try it in mine and see how it works........
