hydro dipping bike parts

Hydro dipping is a cool way to transfer color to your bike and parts. You need only a bucket or box of water and solvent color to do the hydro dip. I diped some bike parts like a handle bar, stem and seat post. Please find some material I used in the description below:

That's what I love about you and makes the difference between a professional and a DIY , adjusting the material so that you don't have to touch it with your hands leaving parts uncovered, so many make this mistake. i'm just a DIY too but watching videos taught me a lot before doing it myself, learning from other people's mistakes is a must so you don't do it yourself.

[@aaron_TanCK]

Holy... first time I saw can hydro dip the whole thing in 1 shot. Never see someone as professional as you, keep it up! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rustysphotography]

This is brilliant and brought back memories of playgroup as a kid . I remember creating pictures on paper using an oil based paint using a very similar technique . Adding colours and swirling them together .

[@yurysun4727]

Daaaang...you are really a professional painter and sprayer, Alhamdulillah i found your videos.., Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Pr3t0ria7]

Etoe, take it up a notch. I wanna see you hydro dip a whole bike frame!

[@dennisbradfordjr7391]

your work is amazing! i love watching your videos! I have been painting since i was 15. I'm 37 now! I keep learning, and you have taught me things i never thought i needed!

[@imhonest4352]

I went out yesterday and got a bike from Offer up! It's a fixer upper bike but I'm excited to paint it and just ordered soo many items from Amazon. Thank you for inspiring me to be creative with my bike!

No matter what you do, etoe design is gonna make it in HIGH QUALITY

[@EspenShampoo25]

Professional!

[@magpierh]

Only ever seen this done with pre printed sheets and kind of one-shot per piece. Never even considered it could be done like this. Super cool, and the way the tissue paper just sucks up all the paint is amazing.

[@rustysphotography]

Did you never do the similar thing at you first school blowing the paint colours around in swirls and then using paper to catch the paint ? it brought back some memories watching this :)

[@derkoekje]

Thanks, Martin! I've been all over the internet trying to find a reliable guide for a high quality finish, or let a lone a good looking result in the first place. You're definitely a cut above everything else I've found. Two questions: 1. You made this video 3 years a go and I'm sure you've learned a lot. Would you do anything differently if you were to hydrodip now? 2. Are any of the steps different if I'm dipping plastic? I assume I'll need a primer for plastic but otherwise the steps should remain the same, yes? Thanks!

[@shahroozsamadi293]

It's so good. How can i on aluminum?

[@axxlsgallery9136]

I have a specialized allez 2013. The paint isn't exactly messed up but there are some noticeable cracks and chips in the paintwork. I want to spray paint the frame celeste and the decals matte gray.

[@robertbotta6536]

Dude you are amazing. Thanks again. And I really really appreciate your professionalism and dedication to supreme quality. There is nothing else that is acceptable.

[@pedromillan1]

Hello friend ... greetings from Venezuela --- I have seen almost all your videos and they seem great, especially this one, since I do hydrography here in my workshop ... oeri I want to ask you something ... what kind of painting you used ?? water-based acrylics? To kiss oils or could I use any spray paint or automotive paint ??? Thanks in advance..

[@gas1989]

Dude i love the way you throw those things in the air xD

[@im160bpmplus]

My girlfriend Sandy was offended by your sanding joke. I told her she was being a bit rough about it.

[@stevenbarrett4836]

Hope you managed to smooth things out with Sandy.

[@BrianMcDonald]

She'll get some more grit with time. Then things won't be so abrasive.

[@amacedonieto]

Amazing, does this work on steel too?

[@Joshwait111]

Thanks! This is great! Is it practical to do this for a whole frame? Or does the size and corners just make it too difficult to get a good finish? Thanks. 👌

[@marcshelby]

is it same procedure for alloy too

[@thundertiger76]

Can you use any car rattle can spray paint for the hydrographics to stick to?

[@fkbrains1769]

Amazing video. Can the same process work on aluminium. Thanks

if there's a bubble just use torch or heat gun but flame torch is much better to remove those bubbles

would this work on a bike with the simple spray painting method of hydro dipping?

[@sasha371]

Is it a good idea to paint on a position where hoods should be and where stem clamps? I got feeling that on a bumps everything will move and paint will be scuffed

I love to watch your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@epse30]

Hi Martin, great job. What type of Clear Primer did you use? You said it sticks better, and is thicker than standard clear coats. Ideal for getting a pro smooth finish. If I missed it, please forgive me. Hundreds of comments...

[@ricardofranzen]

Stunning results... thank you for sharing this beautiful pudding in the wall.

[@magnushelmersson]

Wery inspiring! Gonna try this. Tanks from Sweden.

[@sebbelito2975]

Ska du försöka själv eller vet du något ställe som fixar?

[@magnushelmersson]

Kommer att läsa på och försöka själv. Lär man sig detta går det att göra mycket roligt då jag både håller på med cyklar och bilar. Roligt med något som man blir unik med.

[@erniiaylien]

It's always a great video. However I am wondering who would paint this awesome seat post....

[@grahambate3384]

Do you sand after priming

[@mikeshem7665]

That is definitely awesome! Can the dipping technique be used on a bicycle helmet as easily?

[@capitolcustombicycles668]

Thank you Martin. Another amazing insight into what you do best. Thank you for the tutorial and the inspiration. You Rock Sir!!!

[@cody_rm]

Hi Martin! Going to behydrodipping my fork and stem. I am using all the products you listed in your description for the DIY steps, the spray max 2k primers and clear coats and the humbrol enamel paints. For smoothing the paint after dipping I know you used a professional carbon primer, but for DIY you hadn’t indicated any step for smoothing. Is it okay to do several coats of 2k clear coat, sanding in between, to create a smooth finish? Or should I look for spray a clear carbon primer or clear intercoat like from house of Kolor to achieve the same smooth finish? I intend to lay a logo before the hydro dip. Likely to spray the logo, then mask over the logo before dipping to avoid color under the hydrodip and not having a significant spot of unevenness.

[@matthijslamote8660]

great job! thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@malonebz]

Excellent. Any videos on painting a steel frame?

[@chsciclismo]

Dude you are just too cool for school

[@aqhan]

I love your videos. I got inspired by your videos and recently painted my road bike in cadmium red with silver glitter on top. It looks amazing, but I couldn't achieve a high glos finish. For some reason, neither the primer, nor paint, nor clear coat wanted to be wet sanded and would just start washing away. What did I do wrong?

[@aldotv476]

Brilliant! Keep on posting more please!

[@fkbrains1769]

Also where can i get the transparent primer.

[@muratbiberoglu1425]

Hi Im from Turkey.you are wonderful.I follow up you.and I painted three bicycle thanks to you.

[@arrivingarriving5166]

I asked my girlfriend Sandra if she'd like to sand my parts but she said no, so then I told my wife my girlfriend had said no and to my surprise she said she'd be more than happy to do it! Sadly however, the end result is that now my bibshorts fit funny and I can't ride more than 10m before I'm in terrible pain and have to get off the bike - so my question is: what grit sandpaper should she have used again? ;) Great video though, you've done a fantastic job and the parts look stunning! Bravo!

Same grit as the toilet paper in Buckingham Palace.

You haven’t said much about how to smooth things out and to make a nice smooth clear finish on the object. And I can’t find anywhere how to FINISH the pieces, how to smooth them out and make them look professionally painted.

[@r3cy]

i suspect the main reason you need to paint your bike parts all the time is because you don't seem to be able to pick anything up without throwing it in the air. must cause a few chips in the paintwork ;)

[@YuoTubeTobi]

Super Job wie immer. Eins würde mich aber interessieren...in wie weit passen die Klemmungen von Vorbau, Sattelstütze und Brems-/Schalthebel nachdem du derart viele aber notwendige Farbschichten aufgebracht hast?

[@ETOE]

Wenn der Rahmen tight wie ein Zäpchen ist, wirds wohl eher nichts. Wenn der Rahmen weiter gebaut ist und vorher beide Teile ausgemessen werden konnten, passt es. Kemmungen an dem Vorbau sind nicht beschichtet, wie man sieht und die Klemungen am Lenker waren vorher dicker mit Glas beschichtet. Passt auch in den Vorbau wie man am Ende sieht. Ich würde dennoch alle Teile nicht beschichten. Der Lenker wird eh umwickelt und die Stütze zwei Drittel im Rahmen unsichtbar sein. Aber da viele KZbinr das sehen wollen, kann man es dennoch zeigen.

[@YuoTubeTobi]

@@ETOE gebe ich dir vollkommen Recht! Abschleifen im Bereich der Klemmungen kann man später bei Bedarf immer. Sollte gar keine Kritik sein. Gruß
