Hydro Dipping Ideas/ Custom Painted interior & Exterior Ideas/Powder coating

[eric.s.t]

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

Thanks tiff! I didnt youtube it, but it can see how it works! Thats pretty neat!!! again, i would love to do my new RAM chrome peices... but it would cost me and arm and a leg just to ship my stuff... plus your rates... hmmm.... lol

So what part exactly would you want dipped? And the carpet would probably have to be removed..the part you did is fully submerged in water and those chemicals are in the water as well as floating pieces of the extra film.. we could mask it but more than likely water is going to get in there..

I have heard about this Hydro Dipping and have been wanting to learn it. I do fabric coverings but they just keep pealing up or the spray adhesive stops working.

Lol thanks. Does the dip fade if its in the sun. I found out with my dads that the fabric fades in the sun.
