Carbon dip coating

Carbon dip coating
We see a lot of chrome and many nice blacked out H3's...
Did already someone tried to make use of dip coating, hydrographic or water transfer printing (these are the 3 descriptions commonly used)...?
Would be nice to get some photos if possible.
I especially would be interested in carbon style...but they have this method also with camo and many other patterns.

Dip coating > are you refering to a plastic-type coating similar to that on some cresent wrenched? If so, that is just starting to get some attention here. I think I only began seeing it at the large hardware stores in the last 1.5 years.
The hydrographic or water transfer printing is not something I have heard before. Little scale model cars often have decals you wet then stick on the plastic, is it similar to that?
Someone on here has there H3 all camo'd, done with decals I believe. It looks super sharp. Maybe search "Camo'dH3" I think that is it but not certain.

A complete H3 would be hard to dip...but parts like mirror cover, handles, grille... should be easy.
Just put camo dipping in google and there are many movies out there explaining how it works.
I like this method as it gives a quality like painted....the 3M stickers cannot compare with this.
I just ordered 10sqm of carbon film and the necessary activator. Soon I will do my first trials...
If it looks wrong I can still paint it black.
I will post pics when done.

Water Transfer Dipping
Hey guys, I got my hood louver and all the interior dipped at my work. We can do anything really. I did the carbon fiber on the hood and the wood grain on the inside to make it look brighter. My nest step is to take the roof rails that run down the side and carbon fiber the black pieces so that they don't fade. I also wanna do the engine covers. Its all water and heat resistant. And it comes with a nice warranty. If you have any question let me know. my email is rhershberger24@gmail.com and my name is Roger. I also showing you some pics of the stuff I had done.

Lucky guys in US....so many professional shops around where you can get a nice job done.
Here in Hong Kong they think I'm from the moon if I mention this technic.
Got now some materail from China...holy crap...I made first a sample piece and it looked like a bad airbrush...
Now I need to check on a better film to do it right.
