My dabble in hydro-dipping

uploadfromtaptalk1377637093323.jpgTried my headlight switch sourround tonight and turned out quite tatty, loads of tiny air bubbles between the film and the part and a few creases, I think the water was a little too warm and I either didnt put enough activator on or I was too quick to dip!..... live and learn :) uploadfromtaptalk1377636965810.jpguploadfromtaptalk1377636990110.jpg
 
Even that looks passable though Dave, and the creases are underneath and out of sight. :thumbsup:

Nah......if you look closer on the 2nd pic you can see all the tiny bubbles......it will be flatted and done again until im happy with it :o
 
Will do matey - just need a plan of what I want to do first. It'll come down to whether I go for carbon on Tiger's roof next month...
 
Heres some ht lead cover corner thingys I did for mako in gold carbon effect with a black base, they turned out pretty authentic looking imho :thumbup:

Hmmmm....this looks fun, suppose you can use whatever print you care to use? Or is there a limited amount of graphics available?
 
I believe that the patterns are limited only to what the printers are willing to produce, (which is probably limited by what they can sell in reasonable quantity). Here's one supplier:

I've not bought anything from them so this is not a recommendation, just an example.

I am using their activator spray which works as it should! Theres many suppliers out there though :)
