My dabble in hydro-dipping

I know, right? Such a great effect without any real drama once you've got the knack, as Dave has.
I'm very impressed. I'll report back to him how it copes with under-bonnet heat, but since people have done rocker covers with it, I don't think there'll be any problem.
The imrc lid I did is still all good under my bonnet 
I quite fancy doing the upper part of my header tank, due to the fact its quite an ugly thing to look at, I just jave to decide what pattern to go for under the bonnet
Maybe the same one I used for my little girls bedroom light switch pmsl

Good work Dave. You're getting good at this lark . I keep saying i'll have a go when i get time..........

All depends on what parts they are Si, it wont be silly money though, due to the fact I realy enjoy doing it
Basicly enough to cover the costs of the paint, laquer, film, activator and a couple of pints lol
Very possible Jim, however ive not dipped anything large yet so not sure if I could pull it off. Ive been buying film from a company in wales called 'Aquagraphix' and the stuff they turn out is absolutely top notch! They did a full puma dash in a skull pattern with a candy top coat and the finish was unreal! Have a look for them on Facebook mate
Quality!! That Puma dash is unreal. Your timing with this is stunning, we'll have to have a chat mate, this could solve one of my biggest problems.
Been watching this Dave, very nice indeed and a hell of a lot easier than carbon skinning... something i may even have a dabble in when i get time, the gold Carbon on black looks very effective

Its alot less time waiting, prepping, pollishing etc. Fair enough its not real carbon but it looks dam good tbh and the amount of designs available are brilliant!
They've come out a treat Dave; you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between those and real ones I had in exchange.
Yes Dave, they fit a treat, many thanks.
If you think you could do something with the ones I've removed I'll bung them in the post.
Had some spare time today so I knocked out these beauties
Aftermarket radio fasia pannel (will probably sell this)
Headlight switch surround
Im realy chuffed how these turned out, although I had to dip the switch surround twice as I cocked the 1st dip up.......oops!
