Glad it was helpful!

Beautiful job. Excellent instruction, too! Thanks!

Thank You!

The amount of knowledge here is amazing. You make it look so easy!

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thank you!

[@camaroboy383]

Love the technical videos.. learning the way water flows over objects is so crucial.. that front section of the console was a super technical dip and you made it look easy.. i find myself sometimes doing a dry run with complicated objects to find the best flow...i like your videos because it's all real time, I could see you thinking it through before the commitment and then just going for it..would love to see a technical video of your rinsing process both in the machine and by hand from dip to rinse... I've been dipping for several years and still question my rinsing process at times...

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Alden thank you! I will see about getting a video done with our rinsing process to get posted :)

About 4 months ago I browsed Facebook for a dipping company with great reviews and came across your page and someone else's. Unfortunately i went with the other company and now i couldn't regret it more (especially noticing the flaws on mine that you avoided in this video). I'll be calling you guys for my next projects

Great job brother !!!!!! Looks amazing

[@pip5461]

Awesome, this is the first time i've seen hydro-dipping, it's results seem better than wrapping small pieces.

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes it us much better than a wrap as far as durability, longevity and how intricate of parts you can dip.

[@buckorooster]

Results are a lot better when it comes to longevity and durability as it uses a clearcoat

Gorgeous! The final clearcoat shine minus any dust nibs AND orange peel almost looks better than true CF while being significantly cost advantageous to the vehicle owner. Beautiful work!

Yes this is why we really like the hydrographics as it can sometimes make parts that are not suitable for real carbon molds look like carbon and still get a perfect high gloss or even satin finish!

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

@@unorthodox2009 That is quite low for a DIY tank but it can certainly be done! You may try looking into the plastic totes or something like that to try to keep within that budget. You can always upgrade in the future if everything goes right but using the best quality supplies (paint, primer, clear coat, etc.) is more important than the tank for sure!

[@zpbeats3938]

I have this question as well

[@mattwegener238]

Great video! I'm trying to dip my rims and just to be clear when using carbon the piece being dipped needs to be painted before and a clear protective coat after?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes that is correct. You need to base coat the part, dip it and then clear coat it for the protection.

[@davymaekelberg]

@@Pens4Life85 I guess it's more a prepper, a primer

[@mbrock5532]

@@Pens4Life85 It lets the film stick to it better, like paint. Also, parts of the film are clear, so what's under the film shows through as a color. That's why he painted the console parts that charcoal gray, and that's what made the result look real. If he had painted it pink, then it would have looked like pink carbon fiber. If you have a grungy, bare wheel under it, then that is going to show through and look ugly. I kind of think of it like spraying Candy paint - you need to have a nice basecoat as it will show through the Candy and affect how it's going to look.

[@wrx2hot4u]

Terrible video... just say NO to dipping.

[@spdy_nsx]

Awesome process! Are you taking on any work for new car pieces? Mainly interior and 2 under hood pieces. Thank you.

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

[@marlonbonilla659]

Good work looks goods. Quick question I want to try this on some trim pieces, the color is already a charcoal gray, would you recommend to sand or any prep work before applying the hydro dip?

[@muftaa]

Great Video, the coatings turned out fabulous, This is all too new for me, could you kindly mention what an activator is if there is a brand i can shop for?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Hi it is a hydrographic activator. We actually sell the exact activator we use. www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-group/supplies/activator

Really nice man... very helpful

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thank You!

[@raymondaziz928]

As a composite tech and a hydro dipper for many years it’s unfair to say that real carbon fibre does not look better than the film that’s made to look like carbon

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes we always try to tell our customers that real carbon fiber and dipped carbon fiber will never match as well as each one will have a different look.

[@boxster21]

Big difference in price though ??

[@jonf2009]

@@boxster21 it's mostly a difference in application dipped parts are made to look like carbon fiber when it's difficult or impossible to make the part in actual carbon. That console for example would take a multi-part carbon fiber piece in which you would have seen lines and it's not what you want for a center console so they dip it instead.

[@swooby8824]

@@jonf2009they do sell actual carbon fiber dashes for c5 corvettes (console used in video) but they're ridiculously expensive and for weight saving applications

[@jonf2009]

@@swooby8824 yeah they get so expensive because making a carbon-fiber part that has multiple inlets and outlets and have tabs and other odd angle parts, you end up spending time making multiples of them because you have air bubbles in corner pockets and so the part is junk when it comes out and so you end up spending lots of time and materials getting one that finally comes out in a usable shape.

[@davevaughn7057]

Thanks for this video on carbon fiber I did my BMW came out good but I know what you’re talking about not matching exactly perfect now I’m doing my Corvette and I want that perfect. I tried to do a test piece a black carbon on flat black and it didn’t show it up a good enough so I gotta go to a metallic gray or dark silver.🔥👌

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Yes I agree over black you can barely notice the carbon. We recommend a charcoal metallic base color

[@alinehme9390]

hey buddy, thanks for the heads up :) i have 1 question. what if you messed up with the color? do you take it back to ground base?

[@DriveWithAndy]

Is it ok to cut into a hydro dipped plastic trim piece? I need to cut a square out of a centre consol

[@stevemarino8176]

[@anthonypratts5846]

Nice real nice

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Thanks!

[@MarkK01]

What a awesome job. My question is how long will that last? Will it fade over time from the sun? Does extreme cold weather affect it? Is it fairly economical?

[@LiquidConceptsUSA]

Because this process is just like a cars finish, it will last for years and years to come and it will be permanent. I am not sure as economical as every place has their own set pricing for certain items.

[@rcz68]

Amazing! I have a couple of questions: is it heat resistant? In the car could be at summertime over 130℉! is it scratch resistant? Or need to cover in addition with varnish for protection and shine?

[@portwoodworking5417]

Clear coat is practically required, just like any half decent paint job. And the film will hold up to temps so long as the clear coat does.
