    Our big tank will be here in a couple weeks but we should be able to do some smaller items (up to about a 17-18" wheel) in size before then no problem!

    Valve covers no problem, and absolutely on the wheels. Check the wheel above I posted as we did very similar by not dipping the lip and leaving them as they were in the silver finish!

      Now that you put it into words like that Jonny, I think thats what I meant when I compared the two is that it will become very popular, and totally agree with people not being able to do it in their backyard garage. Painting/auto body is what I went to school. I just wish I would have listened and took more in depth about the free hand pin stripping and air brush stuff. Those things, I wish I would have learned more in my younger days at school.

      I may come to look at having some interior things done Jonny. Thanks for letting us know locally your doing these kinds of things.

          If the wheels are polished this would not be a problem, however there is an adhesion issue with chrome plating and the paint will not stick to it.

            Is hydro-dipping removable without damaging the previous finish? What kind of temps can it withstand? Does UV fade it?

              The original surface has to be prepped just as any other paint job, it is essentially a base/clear paint job with a graphics layer added in the middle. Has the same UV protection as the finish on your car, and is good for temps in the 400-500* range. As far as removing it you would have to sand it down, media blast, or use a paint stripper.

                  plasti-shit is for cheap *****ers with appearance commitment issues

                  I love the hydro process on small parts as an accent....not a fan on wheels though.
