My whole bike (BMW R 1200 GSA) is a digital camo hydro dip. Everything except the frame, that is. Even the skid plate, shifter, brake lever, etc. is hydro dipped camo. It looks really good. I highly recommend the hydro dip process. 👍🏻👍🏻
When doing the second half of a dip, do you just take directly onto the new film that’s been applied? After you rinse it of course? And it doesn’t hurt the film at all?
I found the best way to do any part that needs both sides done, I first mask up one side , dip , But Don't rinse off the slimey film left from the dip. I let the dipped side dry. once dry remove masking from other side then proceed to dip the remaining side, once dipped, rinse entire part . the trick is once the first side is dipped then dryed, It act as a masking which rinses off saving time remasking parts up numerous times. plus check your film in the tank not upside down , Still a flawless finish , nice job
Love the concept…. But I’d have to agree with a couple other guys here. Right side was correct and I’d be pissed about the left. Otherwise, awesome looking.
The customer was well aware that some skulls would look upside down to the pattern he chose is non-directional. Meaning that throughout the entire design there are skulls straight, turned, and even upside down for a random look. If this had been a directional film then of course it would have been laid out to where the skulls go facing up.
Just my two cents but for very buoyant items you can add some water inside to curb flotation so long as it is sealed before dip, if dipping a tank use rubbing alcohol in the off chance the tank is not sealed to prevent corrosion and the remnants evaporate quickly. Will not pose any adverse effects on fuel. Makes for a smooth dip. Hope this helps someone
I have a vinyl wrap... what can I do to prep the vinyl to accept a dipping? Does a clear coat count as painted? Which clear coat should I be using? This is fascinating and I'd love to learn more.
We actually have a video in our library dipping a gas tank in Carbon Fiber. As you mentioned no the lines will never line up unfortunately. Typically we advise on accent with a stripe to offset that look.
There is a video on not taping the second dip The stuff you wash off acts like liquid paper and then you wash ....... The.joint were they meet.. will be perfectly matched with other side.... try it out.. Plus All the paper and tape you can save . Could you please do video on this matter
This print is a random skull print meaning the skulls go all different directions, so at some part the skulls would be upside down on an area or so depending on where the dip hit.
if its been activated correctly, taping over the first dip shouldn't be a problem. Just dont use duct tape or anything similar cuz that'll prob pull the dip off
This print is has skulls going in all directions so technically there is no upside down to this design. There will always be an upside down skull in the print at some point.
You inspire me to hydrodip! But I keep having issues on my end. :/ I bought carbon fiber film online and the company claim it's super easy to use, even for beginners. So I said to myself, shoot I gotta try it... My issue is every time I dip my object into the water/film the entire film follows it. At 6:30 your object sinks in perfectly and all the film conforms to the object and the rest of the film around it stays in place; for the most part. On my end, I dip my object and the entire film moves inwards and makes a huge mess- messing the print up. Why is this? Also, it's SUPER sticky once taken out and basically falls off if I rinse/rub it. I set the film for 1min in warm water and spray activator right after 1m mark and dip. Anyone know my issue? Hope I made some sense trying to explain. Thanks!

Another fantastic video, thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
When doing the second half of a dip, do you just take directly onto the new film that’s been applied? After you rinse it of course? And it doesn’t hurt the film at all?
How long do you wait before you can tape over your dip for your second dip
Ouch. I would not be happy about the left side. Otherwise, looks great.
What kind of prep needs to be done to the tank?
I found the best way to do any part that needs both sides done, I first mask up one side , dip , But Don't rinse off the slimey film left from the dip. I let the dipped side dry. once dry remove masking from other side then proceed to dip the remaining side, once dipped, rinse entire part . the trick is once the first side is dipped then dryed, It act as a masking which rinses off saving time remasking parts up numerous times.

when spraying the activator, how many psi of wind pressure is used ...? hopefully answered, thank you 🙏🙏
Best psi is between 10 and 15 psi , i tend to spray at 12psi though. using a 1.7 to 1.8 tip
Is it just compressed air? And between 10psi?
I want to do sons 50cc plastics for him at home? I’ve got a compressor at home
ummm.. correct me if I'm wrong.. But one side is upside down compared to the other side. .. Should both sides not be skulls facing up?????
I was gonna say the same
This particular pattern has skulls going all directions. So on different areas of the tank some will always appear upside down.
Is that a special basecoat that your hydro film is sticking to?, or can any basecoat be used? Thank you.
We use solvent based automotive paint. We have a full line of paints on our website. Check them out !!

hello, do you wash with water every part becouse of the glossy effect after u make it with hydro dipping? Thank you
Yes that's correct. You have to remove the excess PVA from the dip before it can be cleared.
Does something like this cost as much as having it airbrushed ??
Need that in red for my bike
If you would like a quote, send us an email. Or, we offer the paint & film to DIY.
Love your videos. Can we see the whole bike?
There is a video on not taping the second dip

All the paper and tape you can save .
Could you please do video on this matter
What would cost be around to get a motorcycle dipped?

Hi
I have question, please.
Why did it crack ?
I tried
If you can send me more details I am happy to try and help troubleshoot. Email us at info@liquidconcepts.com
Why did you dip the skulls upside down on one of the sides?
This print is a random skull print meaning the skulls go all different directions, so at some part the skulls would be upside down on an area or so depending on where the dip hit.
Can you hydro dip "anodised"forged motorcycle wheels? Thanks 👍
No, anodized is a final finish.
Does tapping on the first dip prior to the second dip not gonna lift it from the paint? Or is it okay to put tape on the dip before clear coat?
if its been activated correctly, taping over the first dip shouldn't be a problem. Just dont use duct tape or anything similar cuz that'll prob pull the dip off
@@skyworx524 ohhhh 😯 I gotta try that! Very cool idea. Thanks for sharing 🤘
I would like to see the prep work need to dip the tank
Will add this request for upcoming videos. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching !!
Dude skulls standing on their heads lol. Upside down dipped on #2
This print is has skulls going in all directions so technically there is no upside down to this design. There will always be an upside down skull in the print at some point.
Your skulls dont match. Left side is upside down. Right side is as if they are right side up staring at you. I wouldnt be happy.
Is one side upside down?
This pattern actually has skulls going in all directions
Why is one side of the patton upside-down?? This would not be a happy customer 😵💫

If the film is following it that means you are under activating it. Need to use more activator..
@@erniefrongillo7513 Oh. Thank you. I thought I was using quite a bit of activator tbh but I'll spray even more next time I dip and see what happens
Also depends on how close and how straight down you are spraying. Should be spraying straight down and about 8"-10" above the film.
Are you putting the correct side of the film down first? I think you put the sticky side facing water
Очень сильно круто💪👍
Looks like you're using the same image on both sides a skeleton wearing a suit. but the skeletons is upside down in the suit on one side
