After you dip on water need to dry or you can dry with a cloth? And also to aply lacquer do you need to prep or pretty much straight forward

Beautiful Job

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thank you!

[@shahroozzarrabi7920]

perfect ! Does it need to have clear top coat to be shiny? does top coat help to have long time satiability of film on parts? Actually I'm asking for OEM parts, which should pass cross cut test and chemical solubility

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

The clear coat is indeed yes what gives it it's glossy finish as well as what protects the dip. Without applying a top coat you risk damaging the dip as the dip itself does not offer any durability.

hey bryan, what basecoat did you use for this piece?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

We use our charcoal metallic as the base color with this realistic carbon fiber film.

@@LiquidConceptsUSA thanks

[@YeyeyMontes]

Why you don’t immerse the part in a horizontal way instead vertical?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

You can technically dip this either way, just we felt it was better when we was dipping it to keep it more at an angle like we dipped it.

im dipping a mountain bike frame in carbon fiber on flat black and clearing it in matt clear , having issues with taping over sections that i already did so i can get to the other side. anything?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

@@LiquidConceptsUSA the tank I tried using was about 8in to short for the frame as it was a 50 gallon drum cut in half. Had to dip in muti stages. In between tape jobs the tape would stick to the fresh dip and peel it up.... dip , clear, tape, sand , repeat was the process and it took awhile wow. Looking into a old plastic truck box as my next dip tank. Having a larger tank should solve it.

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

@@Couldntellya Yes you certainly want to make sure you have plenty of tank for the item that you are dipping!

How did you prep the side skirt before dipping it?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

We sanded them down smooth, primer, paint, dip, touch up, clear coat.

[@elifuenmayor8359]

@@LiquidConceptsUSA awesome thanks for the quick response, do you guys have a video of the prepping process I can use as a guide?

[@nklkhanna]

Need a lil help. After I dip the piece and when I start rinsing it, the graphic starts to come off from some areas while rinsing. Am just rinsing under the tap with cold water and not too much pressure also. What am I doing wrong?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

If it is rinsing off it could be a few things. Either one it is over activated or that it is not bonding with your paint due to using the wrong paints or it has cured too much. If you have some photos you can email over I can take a look at it for you. [e-mail]

What size tip do you use in your activator gun?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Hi Adam we use a 1.4 tip on our activator gun.
