Alternative to Paint or Powder Coat

The first two pictures below are from a user of this process that he posted and not hand picked by the company Aqua Graffix. I like the looks and would consider using this process.

What is Hydro Graphics or "Water Transfer Printing"?
Water transfer printing is the process of transferring one of our patterns to an object using water displacement.

We then go through the process of transferring the pattern to the part. To start the process we lay the pattern film flat on the surface of the water and spray an activator on the film which brings the pattern back to a liquid ink. Your part is then strategically dipped in the pattern and when pulled out of the water the part is covered with the pattern.

I just had some interior car parts and my wheels done at Aqua Graffix in Michigan. I could not have been happy with the outcome, they blew my mind away. They were done in a timely matter and it was affordable. I got to see the process first hand which was really cool. The guys there at Aqua Graffix are really down to earth people and put an emphasis on quality. I will be going back as soon as I can find some other stuff that I want to get done.
