Want a one-of-a-kind bike without paying for a custom paint job? At Hydra Water Transfer Printing we decorate bicycle frames, forks, handlebars, helmets and other parts with hydro dipping, in carbon fibre, galaxies, skulls, sticker bomb or any design from our catalogue of more than 490 films. We do it in our workshop in Agost (Alicante, Spain), the first hydrographics company in Spain.

Which bicycle parts we decorate with hydro dipping

  • Frames in any material (aluminium, steel, iron or carbon) from mountain bikes (MTB), road, city, BMX or e-bikes.
  • Forks, both rigid forks and suspension fork lowers.
  • Swingarms and linkages from full-suspension bikes.
  • Handlebars, stems and seatposts.
  • Cycling helmets.
  • Mudguards and other small parts.

Hydro dipping covers the tubes, welds, curves and joints of the frame seamlessly, something a vinyl wrap cannot do. The design sits under the clear coat, not stuck on top, so it does not lift or peel off.

How it works, step by step

  1. Ask for a free quote. Send us a photo of the frame or parts you want to decorate and tell us which design you like.
  2. Strip the bike. We only need the frame and the parts, without wheels, drivetrain, cables, brakes or bearings. Pack them well with bubble wrap, cardboard or rags.
  3. Send them to us. Ship the frame and parts to our workshop in Agost (Alicante, Spain), well protected so they arrive in perfect condition.
  4. We prepare and decorate them. We sand, prime for a strong bond, paint the base coat, apply the film and clear coat.
  5. We send you photos of the result and, once the service is paid, we send the frame and parts back to you.

We give a 10-year warranty on the application.

Carbon fibre

A classic on road bikes and helmets. HFC-103 is translucent, so the base colour changes the result: on this frame, over a gold base. See carbon fibre hydro dipping films.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to decorate a bicycle frame?

It depends on the size of the frame, how many parts you want to decorate and their condition. Send us a photo and we will give you a free quote.

Do I have to send the whole bike?

No. Only the frame and the parts you want to decorate, already removed and sent to our workshop.

Do you decorate carbon frames?

Yes. We accept frames and parts in any material: aluminium, steel, iron or carbon.

Does it stand up to riding, rain and washing?

Yes. The part has a final clear coat that protects the design.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, a 10-year warranty on the application.
