Yes sir it is Hydro Imaging. And yes, it is TONS easier than hand painting. However, there is a primer, base coat of paint that is sprayed on, the pattern is "dipped" on, then 2 clear coats get sprayed on. The adhesion promoters that we are using are working out well and are taking a lot of flex. Not like the standard rattle cans or airbrush paints.

We are, however, calling it a paint job because in order to remove it, you need to sand it like paint.
