Question ? And first off love all the videos. Thanks for all your help and teachings. So yes, once you clean off the residue after you dip it with cold. Just tack it off and spray clear once it's dry and of a good temp (pending materials and etc.) ? Thanks again.
Is it possible to dip chromed or stainless steel parts that will (daily)reach 100 degrees temp? I would like to use this for customizing espressomachines.
We use solvent based automotive paint. www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-group/paint/solids Check out our clears - www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-group/paint/clears Hope this helps !
Ok can you do gun parts with this ? Is their a better kind of water to use like distilled. What happens if you leave it in to long ? What happens if you don’t rinse it ? Can you redo an item if you mess up ?
I wouldn't actually do the metal parts on any pistols or barrels on shot guns. It will wipe out blue oil on metal and could start pitting on gun.. now the stock, and handle grips or both butt stock and handle grip on shot guns.
This is pretty awesome. I’d like to start to try this in the painting process. What kind of paint do you need to use or can you just use white spray paint from a can or whatever color you’re putting down as a base
We recommend automotive paint. I would stay away from already mixed aerosols as most have a hardner built in. They can work but you will have to find that sweet spot between when it is dry enough to dip but not hard that the print slides off.
What's the purpose of the speed shapes? Just to practice? And what about the area of the speed shape where your fingers were grabbing it...what do you do to alleviate that?
Yes the speed shapes are simply for practice or sampling. They are ABS plastic which does not require any prep or painting prior to dipping. This saves you on time and makes it easy. You can simply put a tape tab on the back of the speed shape and dip it and this would avoid any defects when dipped.
Any good HVLP gun will work. I've included the link below: www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-detail/devilbiss-startingline-kit www.liquidconcepts.com/shop/product-detail/hvlp-paint-gun-devilbiss-pro-lite
If you do not have an HVLP spray gun then the Preval sprayer does give you a better option to attach to your aerosol can for spraying but nothing beats an HVLP
Since I've been a automotive paint specialist since the 80's what if an type of spray guns an can I use a base coat automotive type?, Or important to me question can I use acrylic enamel single stage paint like I use on automobiles?
Love the videos. In a previous video you say you need to paint the part before applying film, yet you dipped a unpainted ABS part, straight out of the box?
I’m just getting started and I was wondering what is the best type of paint to use and does it have to be white before dipping? Also, does everything you dip have to be sanded down?
We use solvent based automotive paint. When you look at the film on our website, the base color recommendation is below the pricing. White makes most film more vibrant.
Thanks for your videos, they‘re very helpful! Would you prefer to paint always every part before you dip it or is a dark or a white primer for example enough ? so I‘ll do the pre work but will it also work when I would skip the paint part ? Thanks ins advance
So is the paint Enamel Acrilic, Ceramic, lacquer ? I assume it is a mat finish for bonding ? Is either type of paint better than the other? If I want a better harder chip resistant under surface will it bond to powder coat?
The paint is solvent based automotive paint. We have a good selection of basecoats & clears. There is recommended basecoat colors under each film description. www.liquidconcepts.com/
Also why didn't you say you don't need a primer on it. What type of paint did you use. Looks like you just used one type of paint. If so what was it. Was it epoxy primer only. And if so can you dip only using white epoxy primer paint. Thanks
Interesting, I saw another video that said you should never tape all 4 sides of the piece of film you're using... but I see you do it in all your videos. Thoughts?
It depends on the film. Usually taping all 4 sides seems excessive, but sometimes can be necessary depending on the film that you are using. Anything is certainly possible for a better dip!!
Hello, No paint is included in the kit. Product Description: Do it Yourself!! With this DIY Hydro-Dip tank you can do the dipping yourself!! This package comes complete with hydrographic film, speed shapes (testing samples), Aerosol Activator, and Aerosol Paint System. All you will need to do it pick up the base coat you desire under each pattern and you are set to go! This setup is great for a beginner or someone just wanting to test it out.
Your not saying what type of paint is best. Which I think is very important. if it is straight paint or auto paint that has reducer or hardnor in it. Some people may think you can put any paint you want in it. Also paint might be to thick to spray out of it. I think you should do another video on what type of paint is best. And what to do. Thanks

I’ve literally watched this video like 10 times hahaha it gives me more confidence
Go for it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained !!
Thats was really helpful thank u I always wanted to do this u the first one to explain very good

I want to dip some plastics for my bike they are brand new do I need to paint them paint on plastic usually sucks seems like a extra step not needed

Excellent tutorial! What kind of paint is recommended? What will not work?

I love and appreciate all your content. Could you touch on if it’s possible to dip stainless steel please. Specifically gun barrels? Thanks
Yes you sure can as long as you have properly prepped the item!
Just subbed. A helpful DIY tip would be to use a "lazy susan" wgen spraying small parts.
Thanks for the sub! Great tip for the lazy Susan !!
I have a black primer part I want to dip in carbon fiber. Will I have to paint it or will the carbon fiber film show up good?
You will need to paint it first.
@@LiquidConceptsUSA thanks I thought I would so it's getting dipped tomorrow.
The cut-out basically fits almost perfect in the tub, did it really need the borders to be taped-off?

So I can use any type of paint as base for object. What is the difference between this spray to a reg spray paint. Newbie here. Nice video.
I would like to know this as well

For just the diy projects does the preval sprayer work to put out a good product?

Good teacher
Thank you! 😃
I can’t buy the kit sadly but I herd automotive spray paint works well to hydro dip what’s your opinion?
Since I've been a automotive paint specialist since the 80's what if an type of spray guns an can I use a base coat automotive type?, Or important to me question can I use acrylic enamel single stage paint like I use on automobiles?
We use and recommend an automotive solvent based base coat :)
How long do the spray system last and can it be recharged, also do I pick the free film that come with the kit
The system sprays up to 16 ounces of paint. You can pick the film with the kit as long as you pick films of the same width that is included in the kit
Love the videos. In a previous video you say you need to paint the part before applying film, yet you dipped a unpainted ABS part, straight out of the box?
I believe he stated that it was ready for dipping unless the part was already painted when he bought it.
Why did you paint the black one white? Do you need to paint everything white before dipping?

What if you wanted to dip something like a guitar body so you need to the back and the front to be covered? How would you go about that?

Since when d8d clear coat protect from UV?
If I keep my tank temp closer to 90° will this allow longer stretch with less blow out in the pockets ?
Is there a substitute I can use if I don't have activator spray
Thanks for your videos, they‘re very helpful!
Would you prefer to paint always every part before you dip it or is a dark or a white primer for example enough ? so I‘ll do the pre work but will it also work when I would skip the paint part ?

You will always need to paint as the dip will not bond to the primer unfortunately.
@@LiquidConceptsUSA ok thanks a lot for your response 🤜🏽🤛🏽
