I really enjoyed your video. I have a 2016 Corvette Stingray and I have wanted to get the same pieces dipped in carbon fiber (except the mirrors). I also want my rear spoiler dipped as well. Can you provide me with a non- binding guestimate of how much money I might have to spend to get that done? I'd like to get you to do it, but I'll have to see where you're located. I'm in central Georgia. Again great job. You sold me on the hood vent dip. I knew that could have been difficult to do, but you're solution was perfect. Take care and I hope I hear from you soon.
Great work! Loved the video. Just for interest, perhaps show us the video how you dipped those Mirror covers. Was it a 2 part dip or roll dip? Thanks again.
Yeah we are working on getting these fixed up for a different video but we will certainly post them up when we get it all finished! Also for your reference it was a roll that we did on the mirror covers.
Hey guys, I bought some material with y’all and I’m just about ready to dip. My question is on dipping a guitar. I want both sides covered but I don’t have a tank long enough for a single dip. How do I double dip without over laying the first dip? Can I mask off the entire back to dip the entire front?
Yes you are correct! You will want to mask off whatever you do not want dipped in the 1st dip. This will give you a straight line. Once dipped you can remove the masking, spray and intercoat clear, mask the previously dipped side and then dip the 2nd side.
Great job Brian you make it look so easy. Top quality film I learned the hard way pay a little more it looks a 100 times better than lower quality films.
How do you know what base coat color to use? On your website it says to use white for light gray and u used black in the video. Any reason behind that? Thanks
Most all films look more vibrant with a white basecoat. Some patterns allow for other color basecoats. Just know, it will alter the look of the pattern on the film. Hope that helps!
Are you referring to the carbon fiber? If so it is our Realistic Carbon Fiber that you can find here www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-detail/realistic-carbon-fiber
Tips of fingers wouldn't cause mistake areas? I thought one would fix something to hold the piece to keep bare areas left from fingers? Or do you look over those areas and just touch them up?
On this particular piece none of the area where we are holding it is seen. Only the center section is visible once reassembled. If indeed these areas were seen we would have made a jig, tape tabs, or something to hold from the back side as touching it up in that large of an area would not be ideal with this design.
You would need at least a 19"-21" wide film and around 23" long or so to dip the front of the wheel completely. That is a little on the conservative end but that should help you out.
I watched a lot of your videos but only in this video you are scuffed and primed all pieces before hydrodipping. Can you please explain me why. Example side skirts you did without scuffing and prime . Thanks
We actually dipped those going straight down into the water if I remember right. The next time we get some mirrors in like that we can try to shoot a video on them!
That part is actually covered by the hood when the vents are installed on the car so we actually didnt need to dip that area, but it was a great way to hold the part to dip the area that is shown.
On quite a few of the videos that we do, we try to give a more detailed view of everything so everybody can see how it looks! If you want, we can certainly send you more footage on how it came out if needed.
It would honestly depend upon the exact color of the vehicle. I would recommend getting the paint code off the vehicle and having it color matched so that you know it is going to match exactly.
Love your videos bro spoke to you on Facebook my vehicle is like a dark brown can I blend a little bit of dark brown to the plastic with the Black Metallic so I could give that nice dark black brown look
I am not quite following what exactly you are asking? What plastics are you referring to and are you just wanting to paint them to match your truck color?
My film didn’t fully dissolve I used reducer as activator #buget u think it would work ?if I try again cuz the water was cold and ik it’s supposed to be warm (I sent it cuz it was rushed)
Isaac I would suggest investing in some actual hydrographics activator and that should solve the issue. The water temp typically affects how long you might have to wait for it to fully activate.
