Default Dipping opinions wanted please

Hi all I'm giving my 3xwipers and two Perrin stiffies which are being dipped in carbon, along with air intake fuse cover and alternator cover now I'm confused weather to go carbon or something different for under bonnet?
All opinions and examples are welcome I only have till Monday being tomorrow to decide




This one makes me think hard but not 100%

Id definitely go with a bit of colour under the bonnet, just not the weed effect (proper chav). I think it brightens up the bay a bit, and makes it a bit more individual. What style and colour is down to your personal taste though.

Defo don't want the chavved look that's for sure the green carbon effect looks mint! But I've done inside in this colour




So it looks like my original plan of action which was golden carbon but will wait till 2moz to be 100% the green effect makes me think shall I get a carbon blue done under the bonnet?
Thanks for all the opinions and pics so far please keep them coming as it'll help me decide thanks

Where do you get this done and what sort of cost, please?
my eldest tried to do it with a kit at home, but it didn't stick properly in places. Some fell off, the rest was impossible to remove.

They look really nice and on phase five of the greenwagons plans I'm going for that sort of look


Carbon candy blue or. Red looks good
Check out hydrotec. Custom coatings fb pages for inspiration
Depends on what colour you will want hoses in the future

Is hydrotec not near you? You could always post as Craig gets a lot of stuff through the post this week alone he's doing 5 Mercedes trims which come by courier
I always say stick to what u feel confident in doing and spraying etc is not my thing where as I'm comfortable enough to change an engine or anything mechanical on these scoobys with over ten years experience
