Nice.

I have to admit, I had to go Google "hydro dripping". It's an amazing process, with beautiful results. Congratulations to you for trying it out, looks great!

Looks nice , I first saw it on a car flipping show from England : Flipping Bangers .

"Hydro Dripping" - that is new to me too. The subtle effects appear well done.

Shadock, is there a pattern or design in the dip? I had parts dipped in a carbon fiber or brushed aluminum pattern at my last job as optional finishes for customers.

It’s a neat process with lots of possibilities.

Well I read the hydro dripping and thought I was going to see his CB in the rain. Guess not

This example I think appears to be some sort of "carbon fiber" pattern.

At least by the images, somewhat subtle.

Yes,it’s a carbon fiber pattern....

Is this an expensive process? Looks really cool. I have black vinyl here to do my fenders but this looks cleaner.

Ah yes, I see the carbon now. Was looking at it on my phone earlier, too small to see the detail. Looks nice!

Hydro dipping is how all those ATVs and side-by-sides get their camo finish. Works great on convex surfaces, but tough to get into concave nooks and crannies.

Durability: Is there a sense of it peeling off?

That is, if the finish gets nicked, would it well-up and peel, or manage stone hits like a champ?

If the hydro-dipped camo on ATVs is any indication, it will come off in sheets if there are scratches and it is then hit by a pressure washer

I can imagine if that day comes, only to discover a pristine original paint finish underneath!

Aw, dang. Ah well, hopefully this is a moot discussion.

 

[Shadock_imp]

They sand the parts,then put a primer,then paint a coat of base colour,apply the hydro film and put a varnish coat and polish.....
This is a professional process.....
