Re: hydro dipping? Professional or DIY?

I found a few places down in Orange county that do it. So im gonna call for some pricing. If it ends up being too expensive professionally I think im gonna try the kit.

I didn't price a steering wheel, but was recently quoted $350 to do the dash bezel and $350 to do the cup holder, ash tray and cd changer sections of the dash.

I, too, considered the DIY kit, but thought it looks so easy on YouTube that it must be very difficult w/o experience. Ended up painting the pieces. I realize not an option for the steering wheel.

It's definitely not inexpensive to have it done. My local shop has a $200 minimum.

any link to a kit? I didn't know these were available.
I'll search but guessing you already have an idea on what's the best kit.

@05Single , this is the kit I'm looking at. There's a few out there. This one looks,good and it comes with the print roll of choice so I don't have to order the wood grain pattern separate.

@easterr , if only I could just paint the grips the right color to match! Haha. If only life were that simple. However the leather dye that i used to get it the right color came in an aerosol can. So that was basically like spray painting. Lol. But I didn't have to worry about it running or blotching which made it a lot easier.

Damn 100 ain't bad I guess. 40 for a new roll of pattern. Just practice on a bunch of things. I better go check out some videos.
Could pay itself off with one project lol

 

[adventurenali92]

Yeah im,thinking to practice on a few small pieces first. And it says it comes with a pretty detailed set of instructions.
