Yeah I was gonna say, Montana for a custom shop?!?!

My suggestion would be to have you three join as many Chevy/Dodge/Ford, etc forums, become vendors there and start pulling in some business! Also get an ebay store!

This might be a stupid question, the hydro dipping or whatever, how does that work? It looks like a vynal wrap.. :s I really like that though! Would be perfect for my new RAM. I wanna do all the chrome in red and all the silver painted area in black carbon fiber look! Wish you's were closer!!!

Agreed! If i could find some good condition cluster surround pieces i would seriously consider sending them off to be done to get a CF finish.

LOL ok so the best way is to youtube it. But basically:
You have your part that you want dipped. . Prep it as normal (sand, prime/paint). Hydrographic film kind of feels and looks like window tint, its is a pattern printed on a very thin plastic film. Most dippers have a specialized tank but we started out using just a water trough (tub). You fill it full with water (has to be certain temperature) Cut off a piece of film big enough for the part you are dipping. Tape off the edges, slit the corners to allow for stretching. It sets on top of the water for 1 minute, the plastic film is now more of a gel/liquid. You spray a specific activator on it, this kind of dissolves the plastic part of the film, but leaves the ink floating on top of the water. You then dip your prepped part into it...and hope that it wrapped nicely haha...then you rinse it for about three minutes and wait for it to dry and you can clear it! This will all make sence when you watch a video on it haha
