DIY Hydro Dip Kit for Snowmobile parts

[snowblower1]

Anyone try a dipping kit?


I am looking at doing some carbon fiber patterns and maybe some of the snow camo dip kit...

Interesting...

Who wants to be the test mule?

Edit... just watched the video. Any other/better sources of this stuff?

I've done it. I digital camo'd my shotgun. Its a pretty cool process but it takes a little more than what it shows. It was very picky about room and water temp. Once you get a good pattern going you'll dig it. You'll also need a good size tank of water,bigger the better if you have big parts.

Been there, done that....

You get what you pay for like anything else. If your okay with spray painting a new color on your car then you will love it on your sled.

When a part is properly dipped, the actual dipping procedure is just an additional step after it is professionally painted. So with those kits, your paint is spray paint, your activator is spray paint (not ideal), and if your film is in a too humid of a climate it will bubble and wrinkle up...

Lots of variables for those to be done "right", which would be definatley not using one of those kits.

For a "Professional" look of corse. If you just want to mess around its definately fun to do!

I was watching "How its Made" the other night and they did a segment on Snow goggles. Was very interesting! When the graphic'd the rubber frames they use this process. They sure make it look EZ. Now back to reality

I agree - stay away from the spray-paint dip kits. We are using the pro-grade dip kits (you mix the paint and hardener). An extra step, but well worth it IMO...
