hmm. touche.

I'm unable to find any real info about "vapor transfer" after a quick google. As far as I knew, the method I linked to was the only common/affordable way to wrap complex geometry with an image of some sort. It's used extensively in automotive interior and consumer product manufacturing.

Perhaps there is a similar method integrated into their powder coating process...
