It's not airbrushed on. That using the sublimation process. The put the images together on a computer, then it gets printed on a shrink wrap type of vinyl.

The entire thing is just an overlay. Pretty cool process...:flag:

Yep N2TRUX is right.

There are many companies who do that type of thing.
They can do almost anything you want.

They place the printed sheet over the body and run a heat gun over i then pushed the bubbles out and spread it on tight. They work in small sections till its complete. They probably spend more time in design then application.

Holy Crap! That's wild. How durable is it? Maybe that would be a good way to do some flames or something.

I do not know how durable they are, but they are mostly put on commercial vehicles, like radio station vans, etc. A local place stated on the news that most will be replaced within 2 years, not due to damage, but do to change it advertising or design. So I really do not know how long they last, but they will last 2 years or more.
