Hydro dipping
Also known as water transfer printing or hydrographics, is a decorative technique that uses water and paint to apply patterns to three-dimensional objects. 
 
Here's how it works: 
Prepare the surface: Clean and lightly sand the object to remove dirt and grime. Apply a base coat: Spray a professional-grade coating to ensure the pattern has a smooth surface. Create the pattern: Apply colors to the surface of water to create a pattern. Dip the object: Submerge the object into the water so the pattern adheres to its surface. The surface tension of the water allows the pattern to curve around the object's shape. Rinse and dry: Rinse off any remaining material and allow the object to air dry. Apply a protective coating: Apply a clear coat to protect the object from UV rays and scratches. 
Hydro dipping can be used on a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, glass, and wood. Some items that can be hydro dipped include:
