Default Hydrographics

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post, but I think it's close.

I'm looking to get my valve cover dipped using the hydrographics technique. So far all if the places I've contacted only do the patterns that they have on hand.

I'm looking for a shop that can do an image that I have in mind, not one of their default patterns.

Does anyone know have a shop in mind?

It's really not worth the expense to have custom films made unless its a really good design that you plan to market it to hydrograpic processors. But there are hundreds of designs already made from different companies.

A good airbrush man could capture that image for you on a valve cover.
