[@thomasharris5151]

Would’ve love to see you spray the candy on the part! Turned out great

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

We have a couple of videos on spraying candy on parts on our channel :)

[@metv6858]

Very impressive work by a gent who clearly knows his trade very well, top job looks amazing

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thank you!

[@JasonWester]

It was great to see the side where things don't always go perfectly! Or, in other words, when the customer definitely WOULDN'T have loved it :) You're a true pro, keep up the great videos!

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes that is correct! I dont think the customer would have loved that part the first few times!

[@BIAWolf]

You are definitely a master of this, good work

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thank you

[@craigb5507]

more video's on how to identify a bad spot on your pattern like you experienced in this video would be awesome

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Most of the time we make sure to check the film to see if there is any defects in the film like we did in the video. If you can visually see any then of course scrap the film but if you cant, then make sure you dip it right and you should be fine as long as its activated right.

[@johncpescod]

I would have liked to see you spray on the candy coat.

[@phonebook45]

Yeah seeing this process is why I clicked

[@RobertS-eq9yn]

Customer's going to love it!

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes they really liked it!

[@lewisrt101]

I learnt from this that proper preplanning of the job is just as important as the dipping part.

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes that is certainly true!

[@adrianharris7127]

I've just subscribed to your channel your jobs are very well done always you make it look so easy, just starting out in this line of work been painting in the automotive indestry for the past 30 years well done

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thanks for the subscribe! Yes it can look easy at times but that is why we try to explain everything in detail so everybody will know how everything works and how to approach each item.

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

No problem! Glad we could help!

[@puertorico7757]

Is candt paint the only that you can use to paint over the dip to show through like that hood turned out.

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes that is the only thing that you can put over the part to make it look like it has a tint or a hue of a different color. You can also put metallic flake over the print as well but that will somewhat cover up the print instead of tinting it.

[@AlexLendvay]

Can you dip wheels with polished rim offsets maintaining the polished section?

[@AMMOAR15]

How do I get my motorcycle fairings like that that same color?

[@MsFenix89]

So to get this results, you spray the paint straight over the film? I guess it has to be a very light coat if I’m nit wrong!!! I’m confused lol.. I want to get a few small interior parts of my car done in this color, but i don’t want to mess it up..

[@pairsnpaint]

I'm just starting out, I've been trying to dip some small parts in carbon fiber film before attempting an engine cover. How do you get the carbon fiber "stripes" to come out straight and not wavy?

[@amorales9447]

Wow this is amazing

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thanks!

[@mrhan15]

yes now it is clear to me the carbon has a red look was not shown on the video thanks grHan

[@Scott_A]

I wonder if ye would think about buying a few popular trim panels or even phone covers to hold in stock so that when you have a sheet of film that has to be scrapped from a bigger project but still has a few small sections that are big enough for a radio surround or some other small items so that the whole sheet is not wasted and then sell the panels. Or to keep as a display piece for that particular pattern

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes this is a good idea! Currently we keep our extras for trainings, grab bags, etc. They do make great for samples though as well.

[@bpnbcc2835]

Wow ,awesome,just bought a couple of Meters of cf ,got plans to do a couple of 1/10 scale RC cars ,kyosho and tamiya ,metro 6r4 group b 80s rally car ,Toyota ae86 drift .want to do chassis and suspension components ,also scale details on the lexan bodyshells ,any advice or tecniques you'd recommend ?.can I use my airbrush paint as long as I top coat it with hydro laquer before and after dipping?

[@garydorrington2925]

how do you get the candy over the carbon print without covering it, is the red so so weak with thinners

[@cr4zym3x1c4n]

Any way to have the carbon dipped in red and then back to black to make it black overall with a red tinge looking at it up close?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes we can do that! We can spray a red candy on it to mimic that effect.

[@technictv]

Hi liquid Concept what color is the base coat when the film is like that?

[@thebeardedgingerontheinter3256]

How much would it cost to do say cbr600rr fairings kit in this candy red with the traditional black and grey carbon fiber to look like the stock black and red cbr600rr but in carbon fiber colors???

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Without seeing the bike and everything, I would estimate at least $3,000 - $3,500 ballpark.

[@ldmaazy0488]

Did u use red candy paint afterwards over it

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes that is correct.

What's the name of the spray you use when you dont paint a part with a base color and you use the parts original color?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Its called a "Binder" or "Inter-Coat Clear". Here is a link - www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-detail/inter-coat-clear

Bryan, I follow you in KZbin , you are the best Im from Paris France sorry my bad english I want start a buissnes hydrodipping buth i need some help what is the paint process to make red carbon? I gave the red paint over hydrodipping and all the carbon was covered

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thank you for the following! To answer your question on the red, you need to mix up a candy and not a paint. A candy is a translucent "Dye" that you add to a binder or inter-coat clear that will tint the color of an item but not fully paint it.

[@strangoboby7590]

Liquid Concepts, LLC thank you, is possible to speak with you on whatsapp or email? Please

[@maxxsteele9396]

Are you able to make your own patterns? If so can you show that?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes we can. You can send us an email and we can get you a proof made - [e-mail]

[@maxxsteele9396]

@@LiquidConceptsUSA I was asking because I am currently making an illustration using water soluble polymers that I've added color to using water soluble pigment. From what i know, hydro dipping also uses water soluble polymers to hold the pattern. Since i've made my own polymer, colors and a technique to paint with them I was asking you if you can make your own patterns since I want to learn how to do it. Afterall, in my case it's not that much of a leap. I can figure it out on my own but if you show how it's done I'll watch the video. If not, like I said, I'll figure it out myself. I'm an artist/scientist.

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes we can make our own patterns but with our technology, its a process that we cannot disclose as we are the only ones with this capability.

[@thundertiger76]

How did it go from the normal carbon fibre look to candy?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

After the carbon fiber dip, we applied a red candy over the top to give it a fully unique look.

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

After the carbon fiber is applied we sprayed a red candy over the top prior to applying the clear coat. You do need to use a silver metallic base prior to the dip if you want to apply a candy over the top.

[@thundertiger76]

@@LiquidConceptsUSA I have never used candy paints before either. By putting paint over it I would have thought it would blank out the graphics completely?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

@@thundertiger76 You lay down the silver base first, then dip the item, apply the candy, and then clear coat. The candy is not a solid therefore it does not cover the print.

Kick A$$ dip Bryan!! How often do you change your tank water or when should it be changed??

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thank you! Most of the time we recommend to change the water every 2 weeks to a month or so depending on usage. Sometimes you can go longer but it all depends on the amount of dips and the size of water tank you have.

Gonna do it in one dip? Gonna love it....love is an egine part under a hot hood,, just bagging on the incorrect us@ge of word love. Requires a progenitor, cant love something that is unable to receive emotional input. Love's been for things like the first morning crap (love how that came out) to loving breakfast, love how you got to work fast, to, love how i got off work early today, to, everything these days. Wellbe needing a new language soon. True love has no meaning, dont even know what it means. Requires a verb, a noun, and the preticit, a receiver of ones expressed love! Can not love an object period, unless your that narcissistic and arent even aware of it. Or maybe im too old?

[@MA-oo7fw]

im sure you're better in doing it than him the actual person who works there and has done hundreds already

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Because of the way the carbon fiber started to warp and show those spots like it did, there is nothing that we would want to dip in that print because the carbon would have waves and it wont look correct. Even though we "Wasted" the film, we actually saved money because we didnt dip it and then it came out bad and then we would have more time, labor, paint costs, etc. for trying to repaint it to get it back to where it was originally.
