In this video we are hydro dipping stainless steel tumblers and adding Cerakote clear coat. We will be using Cerakote MC156 high gloss clear and MC157 matte clear. Don’t forget to stick around for the whole video because we are going to show you the difference in Cerakote clear coats and our Hydrographics clear coats, and of course the funny bloopers at the end of the video.

I have had good success using acetone to remove paint and coatings from tumblers. We wrap in paper towel and soak it with acetone and then wrap with foil. No need for a scraper. Will have to try lacquer thinner as well.

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

I have used acetone before as well, I just have a ton of lacquer thinner around with all the painting I do.

Hi, nice video, i try to hydrographic a valve cover for my car, the questions is, the base coat what ur recommend, base cloat flat or gloss? What is better or best results

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

all base coats are flat colors. You add the gloss or flat clear over the top when you are done dipping.

[@TITacticalLife]

So glad I found this page. Your work is outstanding. Going to get my Glock 20 dipped. But I have .38 Special Titan Tiger my father gave me. I am working on refurbishing it. I have not seen a revolver being dipped online anywhere. Is it possible to dip a revolver?

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Yes we dip revolvers, check out our website, there is a few pictures of dipped revolvers. www.atfhydrographics.com

[@lacybrowning7122]

Can you do this over an already epoxied tumbler? I tried on a few sample epoxy pieces, and think I'm just rubbing the image off. Maybe just stick it under the running water after dipping, no rubbing, and allowing it to dry? Love your videos by the way!

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Hi Lacy, I have never tried it to dip over epoxy before. I do know that not many paints and coatings will hold Hydrographics ink, and most just rinse right off.... which is why we use paints made specified for hydrographics. I would try buying some hydro dipping paint like OHW or Big Brain to spray over the epoxy first.

[@achilleaskalampokis7423]

Hello mate from Greece. You help me a lot with all those videos that you add. Really appreciate your help. I want to ask you if you have tested the durability from cerakote clear coat on hydrographic camo???? Thanks again keep going

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Yes I have, the cerakote matte clear seems to be very tough and about equal to the urethane clear coats we use now. The High gloss cerakote clear is not as tough and not nearly as glossy as our urethane clear coat so I do not use it often.

[@achilleaskalampokis7423]

Any word on when the cup roller will be available for sale?

Not yet, I think our manufacturer ghosted me, so I am either going to build them myself or find someone else to do it.

[@corddwigans]

What’s the longest time that you would keep film before it would be not usable?

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

If kept in perfect conditions a year, if less than perfect I would chunk it soon as I am finished with it. Film is the cheapest part.

[@douglasmoore7608]

If you want to dip a vase would I have to spin it like you did?

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Yes.

[@nathansorenson465]

Are any of these dishwasher safe after being dipped?

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

No, the heat from the washer will eventually make the clear coat fail. Hand wash only.

[@alastorthefloridaman4019]

How does the licensing on base coats work btw? I was thinking of sending in a rifle chassis to get a kryptek pattern. Trying to find something that would work in both the wet & dry parts of the south-eastern U.S. like florida and the carolinas, but i feel like Highlander is too light and Mandrake is far to dark for anywhere that isn't dense shadowed foilage.

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

We just have to use whatever base coat color they tell us to use. Some have paint matches for different paint brands so we just make sure it's the correct color and we are good. We can take care of that rifle, just email or call when your ready to send it.

Yes you do need a FFL to do any coatings on guns. Type 07 is the one I tell people to get because it will allow you to do much more than just coating and it's actually cheaper than a dealer 01 license.

[@5starfrenchies]

Female self taught hydro dipper here and I cannot nail the rounded object (insert cuss words) I think maybe I am under activating?? When I roll and submerge the film doesnt release from the bottom seam thus when I remove it by hand or rinse it leaves empty spots on the underbelly. Can anyone offer some advice before I lose my mind lol. Btw have OHW primer, activator and clear coat as per your recommendation but my film is from twn industries. Thanks ATF I have watched so many of your vids to even get this far lol

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

Most likely underactivated, which is common for most people starting out. Round objects are particularly difficult to master because you have have the perfect balance between rolling and being just enough under the water for the print to transfer correctly. Keep practicing and add a little more activator each time until you find the point at which it is over activated, then back off a little and you will figure it out. Just takes practice and lots of cussing, throwing things, more swearing, and an occasional punching the wall. Been there done that, still happens from time to time.

[@5starfrenchies]

@@AllThingsFunHydrographics lmao sounds about right. I think I actually have the roll down fairly well but do think I am under activating and can't decide if I am using too little or too much film. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply really means a lot. I definitely foresee some more cussing today as I am sooo close to having it but not close enough as I am a perfectionist. Its actually pretty funny cuz I am the sweetest and typically zen lil thing but I had a full on meltdown the other day that even scared my ex. I was ready to punch walls and give up my whole business building puppy play gyms cuz I was just so mentally and physically exhausted from trying to complete this order of 6 custom hydro dipped ones lol. Alas, I will be heading outside in just a minute and try what you said. I also just ordered the ohw activator that I can put in the spray gun because I feel the aerosol can doesnt hit as evenly as I would like so (fingers crossed) may have to sign up for your business plan and get a video chat if I cant figure it out in a few days lol

[@AllThingsFunHydrographics]

@@5starfrenchies LOL, don't worry I still do plenty of cussing and throwing things, just part of it.... call it a right of passage in the hydro dipping world! I can just about bet the issue you are having is one of 2 things: 1 Underactivated or 2 spray gun is not set up correctly. Usually one of those things is the issue. I see more underactivation issues than anything when I train people. The hard part is the film looks exactly the same on the water with just enough activator versus too much, so it is a feel thing. You just have to practice a lot and get your pass speeds down to almost robot like and do the same thing every time. It will be frustrating and take time, but keep your chin up, throw some stuff, say a few bad words, take a break and try again later when your calm.

[@5starfrenchies]

@@AllThingsFunHydrographics thanks so much I so appreciate the guidance. I'm soooo close aghh lol!! I found a good activation level but if I dont have it taped parts start floating away which tells me (i think) the gun isnt hitting the film evenly as some parts stay together fine. I'll try to post a vid later. I fabricated everything myself (well, a small amount of help from the ex but we wont count that cuz he has made me do it all anyways hahaa). I think because I can't fully use those guided metal slides you use to keep the film in place that isnt helping it from staying put also. I did fabricate a section off in my big fiberglass double sink and keep the water at 89-90 so going back at it right now (send out the good hydro dipping juju lol)

[@5starfrenchies]

@@AllThingsFunHydrographics I fuc%*& did it!!!! Omg, I am so glad I stayed persistent, consistent and adjusted when needed cuz it finally worked 🙌🏼🎉😁 it took me a good month of watching you, getting a fairly proper home set up, realizing I needed actual tools like the spray paint gun and air compressor etc. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks lol cuz at 41 I taught myself hydro dipping woot woot!!
