Hydro dipping

[2 die 4]

So i just got in to doing hydro dipping as a part of my vinyl graphics business. Anyone else on here doing hydro dipping? figured it would be nice to have a thread to share tips and tricks with fellow dippers.

I've got a tank pump and heater. Just haven't the time to put it together yet. Talk to Larry or Sean about becoming a sponsor and you could make a boat load here. popo8 Fastbird

Im in the process of building a tank but i have to put it on hold for a few weeks so i can fix the hearse.. most of my dip jobs have been small so far so a good sized plastic tote has sufficed. but i have some people wanting some big items dipped so i have to get this tank done asap. lol

[firebird_1995]

I've got a 4x4x6 poly tank ready to assemble myself lol. First one finished wins the pot of gold!!! aaaaaand GO!

[2 die 4]

lol. im still buying parts for mine.

[firebird_1995]

I don't have time to build mine. But I need to. My key market will be dipping firearms and hunting equipment since I'm a dealer. I think I could pick up a little of extra work on auto parts but mostly firearms. The whole process fascinates me. You got any pics of your work?

[2 die 4]

yeah. i'll post up a few.

I just love this stuff. Never ceases to amaze me. Well done. Do you base coat and clear coat everything or just prep and dip?

[2 die 4]

base and clear. i love that snowfall camo u can put any base coat down and its transparent so u have any color camo.... very popular around here.

[2 die 4]

i dipped some stuff in realtree camo today and put down a satin clear on top of it and it looks awesome.

[firebird_1995]

And here as well. I've sold guys youth model guns for their son/ daughter and rather than buy a new one, get it dipped for the next daughter/son. Gotta be careful dipping firearms though. By rights, its got to be transfered by a dealer when the received exchanges hands.

[Fastbird]

Does the hydrographics actually hold up well on a firearm? You guys done anything in a brushed aluminum look yet? I'd be curious to see how that turns out.......curious as in maybe a future paying customer, lol.

[2 die 4]

ive not dipped any full guns yet. ive done the slide and grips on my 45. as well as the stock on my sons .22.

With all the plastic interior parts and people wanting a custom look. I've seen videos of the dipping, comes out looking very clean and clear. I'd be interested in the future of getting a few pieces dipped. Talk to popo8 about sponsorship with the forum, thats how all the ads that you see on here exist. I've used a few sponsors on this site and I've only been here a few months.

i think i can get clear and black as well as clear and silver then its all in what base coat that gets put down to determine the color for the clear part

What is the going rate to dip a rifle stock? A Remington 597 .22lr in some version of camo?

[2 die 4]

Going rate online is around 95 bux

Ive been following it for some of the interior parts on the caddy since in GM's luxiours finish it comes off after 50k miles of use. I keep seeing the kits less than 100 bucks I could do it at home but havent pulled the trigger yet. Wonder how the gf would like Snow camo in the inside of the V!

How do you get started in hydro dipping. I want to do it as a hobby I have the space in my garage. I love the way you can change the look of things
