Very nice work! 
I don't know the name of the process, but a pattern can be designed on a computer (carbon fiber, brushed aluminum, camouflage, etc) and printed onto a sheet, then the sheet is placed on top of a tub of water, and the paper removed. The pattern stays on top of the water like a film. Then the part is submerged in the water and pulled up through the film from the bottom.
I'll find out some more info on it

Yeah it looks like they used fishnets to get that effect there are a bunch of different things you can use that are similar. I've been experimenting with using tool box drawer liner to get a carbon fiber look. I did it once but I had the wrong type of liner where the holes were smaller than the "pillows" and it didn't come out right. I got my hands on some that looks like it'll work but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet...

Yeah i like how it looks better with the liner stuff plus it's way faster and easier to do especially on larger panels like hoods. You shoot a black base, lay down the liner and shoot a dark silver or gray metallic. Then you shift the liner down and over and shoot a darker or lighter silver to give it a 3D look. Plus, since the liners can be cut pretty big and to be symmetrical, lining everything up is super easy. There is a video of it somewhere I'll try to find it.
EDIT: here's the vid:

Not the best video or gun technique but you get the idea..........
