Hydro dipping engine bay parts

Post by Dave 2 dogs » Sun Oct 16, 2022 5:59 pm

After getting an astronomical estimate to dip some part on my engine bay , and stressing about posting car parts around the country more than the price.
I decided to have a go myself. After a couple of weeks practice. I felt it was time to start on the car .
This is ( ace of skulls film ) over burnt orange with 4 coats of matt clear coat …. I’ll be doing some parts for some of the Essex zeds hopefully at some point, if anyone else is interested, please let me know ( mods , please delete if not allowed)
Here are some pictures of how it turned out
