yes, we are hydrodipping rollover hoops, mirror covers, dash and engine bay parts in various finishes

 

[ben g]

what do you mean damage? surface scratchs?

yes, got a deep scratch on one of my roll hoop covers.

also, i have the brushed aluminium dash inserts so they would need smoothing first i take it?

 

[ranski]

I guess it depends on the agreed price, but yes, the parts are rubbed down to remove any contamination by the workshop

I remember seeing this a few years ago on here where a member sent the bits to Italy to be "Dip Printed" as he called it.

Yes the yanks have apparently been using this method for 20+ years

I saw a vid of a chap who hydrodipped his hand in carbon fibre... i thought it looked cool!

Looks great I saw this being done on one of the wheeler dealers shows.

 

[Liam-O]

Interested in seeing the dash parts done and the cost

 

[Bad_Pritt]

So how much is it then?

 

[mac27040]

Im having the following done in same effect as ranski's mirrors:

Engine covers x 2 with stripes & BMW lettering in red
Air filter cover
Fuse box cover

Front slam panel in gloss black

will be getting water bottle & roll over hoops done later.

Just looking at the process on line and found this. Cool and creepy at the same time...

Mirrors fitted - although I managed to scratch one of them while refitting the glass

Fancypants

 

[Taz]

that's pretty smart

 

[chrisba]

That looks really smart

 

[mac27040]

Still not as good as mine [WINKING FACE] but a fraction of the cost

 

[ben g]

it does looks great, but they could've done the carbon weave the same on both mirrors.

 

[Swiftly]

Looks fantastic

wouldn't surprise me, i think a lot of the mainstream car manufacturers have also been using for a long time too.

I'm always impressed with the results of this every time i see it done. apparently you can do pretty much everything so may be a nice way to tart up some wheels with carbon effect?
