well sorta got meself involved in hydro dipping the chap im working with has only ever done car stuff i saw potential in perhaps bike stuff and fronted this side of the operation
i want to keep it low key and small items but stuff were usally cussing as finish over time has tarnished are pride and joy
i want to make it clear i cant save heavily pitted or corrodded aliminium i dont have the equipment
however if the item is sandable and could be repainted then we can dip it
here is an example of what 80 quid posted back would get ya (this is you send me your items)

these are two pack laquered and gloss finish
other examples done

and before we get into long pointless debates about heat cycle on engine covers this process has been used under the bonnet of turbo fords which go through bigger heat cycles than bikes with no issue
for thoose who are more lets say adventurous

holy shit what kind of whichcraft am i seeing here ,,im seeing but not believing !!!!!! crikey mind blown ,,good luck with this venture, bound to go well man.
-
That first picture looks a lot like the bits on my bike.......but as you put them on I guess it's the same finish. I'm not sure when you did them and I'm assuming that you did but they still look good now.

Basically if you can paint it you can dip it

Fudnut
-
well sorta got meself involved in hydro dipping the chap im working with has only ever done car stuff i saw potential in perhaps bike stuff and fronted this side of the operation
Can you do for tubes? and can you do plain black or silver..?
-
Tubes are awkward as there has to be a join don't do plain colours as can't compete against halfords rattle can
-
How much to dip an Exupnut? The fudnut.

Wow. That black/orange tricked up FZ looks fecking awesome! Ive been looking at powdercoating my gold wheels black, although those carbon look wheels look fantastic! How much to have both wheels done? And is some kind of laquer applied over top to protect the finish? I'd be seriously interested dependant on cost for the wheels.
-
Thanks for the positive comment
Yes the finish is 2 pack laquer 'd after dipping
Pm me for a cost

Luke how hard wearing is this dipping
-
its a paint product that i then 2 pac laquer so as tough as your factory paint
-
How does it work then luke? By that I mean how do you operate the dipping?
do you sell pre-dipper Fazer bits, or do you operate on an exchange basis (I send you my parts, you send me pre-dipped parts upon receipt), or is it a case of I send you my parts, you dip them and return them (in which case, how long roughly is the turnaround?).
Not of interest to me at this point, but the info above would certainly be handy for others I reckon :D
-
I have sent you an email devilsyam. Hopefully you got it!
-
Ok still not heard anything bud, i hope you got my message. If not could you ping me a PM with a price and your location. Based on those two factors will determine whether i bite the bullet and get this done. Cheers!
-
No email Mr sea bass devilsyam@gmail.com
-
Right think there was a problem with my outlook. Re installed it and sent you another mail, hope you get it!
-
Hi m8 how much to have the airbox covers done in the carbon..??? (and how much are the rad covers)
-
Pm sent
-
Price on rad covers done in carbon please mate ?
-
pm sent
-
Price for dipping hole bike please? It'll save taking my bike apart and puting it back together. I can mask the discs, brakes and tyres with masking tape if that helps as I don't want these parts done. Oh, I'll also mask the glass bits on the clocks.
-
Lol you know me luv a challenge
-
some more stuff done

Looks good likes 8)
So does that piece of jumbo cookie om nom nom :lol
Question for you.......whats tne crack with dipping stuff that has imperfections ie paint scuffs or stone chips, im guessing the dip just covers over it yet youd still have the imperfections.....or do you need to fully sand & prep stuff like that?
-
yep has to be prepped just as if you were respraying it
-

It'll be a bit uneconomical getting my bellypan done then, not a good canvas, it's been peppered by stones & has 2 scuffs on the underside.
The FZ1 little rear fender could be a candidate though, just looks like cheap black plastic.
