RCbutcher Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I've watched afew videos on hydro dipping and it looks so simple, 10x easier than painting for sure. Or if you have the chemical bath you can just spray paint the solution swirl it or camo effect it whatever and dip. Finish with clear coat. I saw a guy do this to his guns and they looked ace at the end. BUT. If it was this easy everybody would be doing it, if anyone here does do it pm me or something I would like blue carbon effect on my baja plastics. Mayb blue fire on afew things. Oh once it's done how durable is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh once it's done how durable is it? I was looking into this for my rocker cover a while back. Came across some sites selling kits. Pretty much all you need to dip what ever you want. http://www.dip-it.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=80 I was going to buy this one. Comes with 90% of the things you need (Sand paper etc you will need) They do a professional kit too with all the extra stuff in it for an extra £50. Just have to learn how to do all the prep and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUk Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Never thought about doing it myself.. Wicked coatings in Poole repaired my car spoiler..i had them carbon dip the top...looks smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Only thing I don't like about carbon effect dipping is the weave goes all wavy and out of shape as you can see on the above spoiler towards the edge. However, some of the camo/skull effects are amazing. Well worth getting into, I'm sure you could make a second income from it too.
