Carbon dipping? Who and where?
 
I'm wanting the airbox intake and alternator cover carbon dipped

Who and where is the best place to send and not get ripped off?

How much would it be to have them bits done? ( hawkeye )

Thanks for any advice :thumb:

I use Wicked Coatings in Poole.

Email them some photographs of what you want done and they will give you a price.

My centre console, ashtray ocver and door trims (for the Merc) cost £160 including delivery back to me.

Here is my console, the finish is A1+

Most of the shadow carbon chrome parts in my engine bay - alternator/pulley cover, radiator cooling panel, air snorkel and he also did a soft touch rubber coating on my washer bottle

Wow they look stunning

How durable is this stuff, I have looked at it before and wondered...

My wheels have been spot on, i believe after he has dipped them he clear powder coats them so they are very durable.

As durable as powdercoat mate. Hydrotek gets a clear powdercoat put on top of his dipped alloys so they are as durable as powdercoated wheels. Engine bay parts are easily able to handle temperatures of over 200 degrees celsius.

There is only one master of carbon dipping

Some say he has dipped his body parts

Some say he is addicted to his magic water tank

I woukd not let anyone else dip the Greenwagon sorts

Phase 2/3 will look good
