Has anyone ever hydro dipped a body?

[TheRipper]

I'm thinking about giving it a shot on my KM Triton Blade. From what I've seen on youtube it doesn't look to hard. Have any of you ever tried it? Tempted to try it?

Pretty sure that was a wrap .

You can buy wraps that are hydro dipped. It's not rocket science. Just need a steady hand and a big tub of water. I haven't said anything because I have yet to try it myself. But it doesn't look very hard, there are many you tube vids about it plus a bunch of websights for purchase of supplies

Well I'm going to give it a shot. I'll post pics after it's done. It's to messy to be holding a camera lol. Wish me luck!

Metallic grey with black. Used clearcoat to give it that marble look. The outter film is still on. I still have to back it after it dries. So far from what I can tell it's going to look great. I'm still debating on black or grey backer. I think I'll go grey to make sure that stays bright. Maybe grey then another layer of black for the final? Idk we will see lol
I hate having to leave the film on right now you have no clue what it looks like yet. I had two spots with some very small bubbles. Hope the rest looks good enough you don't see it haha.

Wow guys! The whole time I thought it was darker than what I could see on either side. I backed it with the silver then black. I think it looks killer, but I would have liked the darker look a little more. Oh well it was a pretty cool and new way to do up a body. Now I might buy some cool stickers to add to it. In a few of these pictures I show how dark it looked u till I pulled off the film. The pictures don't do it justice. It looks like 3d thru out alot of the swirls.

cool when I was stirring it up ,it looked like that ,an would look cool as a paint job on a ride!...

I'm happy with the turn out. And now I know a little bit more for the next hydro dip if I ever decide to.
